then my friend downloaded a malware program to a cd.

the computer let me load the program and i ran it according to there directions and it wiped out all traces of the anti 2008.

this has been a major problem and they have been working on it for a long time.

good luck]]>Nov 1st 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/After installing the recovery disc your computer usually adjust itself to the day you first bought it.(Make sure you do not use the internet at this point) Then install an up to date network security suite. CA Norton or any other brand will work. Cost? about $50.00 but its worth it]]>Nov 6th 2008 3:31PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/Oct 28th 2008 7:11PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/1;go to programs

The best way to prevent this from happening is to not click on popups when searching the internet that tell you that your infected with a virus or need to scan for one. Also stay away from nasty unsafe sights, such as a lot of porn sights.

The easiest and most painless way to remove 99% of these programs is to install and program called Malwarebytes. This is a free Malware remover that can be used for free and downloaded from www.download.com. Once installed update all definitions and then run a full scan. Remove everything that Malwarebytes detects and then reboot your PC. Once your PC is back up download and and run Ad-Aware 2008 which can also be used free and downloaded from www.download.com. Update the definitions for Ad-Aware 2008 and run a full scan. Remove everything that Ad-Aware finds and you should then be clean as a whistle. There are a couple more programs out there that will work but most of them you need to pay for such as Spy Hunter. I prefer to stick with the free, reliable, and easy to use programs myself.]]>Nov 1st 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/One of the most vicious tricks that can render your computer TOTALLY, is the simple removal of a file called MSVCR71.DLL In most cases, one would have to reinsall the entire operating system including all files. The comments above apply to Microsoft XP
Do what you want with this information... but don't even "think" that I will send ANYONE my password, including you. ]]>Nov 2nd 2008 7:26PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/Nov 1st 2008 7:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/Nov 1st 2008 9:12PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/Nov 3rd 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/28/sneakiest-computer-viruses-ever-security-hole-2/https://www.backupmax.com/) a couple of weeks ago. They pretty much offer the same features as every other solution out there, except this product has a security suite that is awesome! I had my laptop stolen a couple of days ago and all I had to do was call their support desk and they were able to locate my laptop without even needing a gps! $79 per year was definitely worth it. I don't know the technicalities behind all that, all i know is that not only was my data safe, but i was able to retrieve my data physically. I would recommend it to anyone. ]]>Nov 6th 2008 4:12PM
