Virus Alert!

My computer got attacked by a virus on Monday!!

It was so awful, cause there's like a million pop ups. My computer settings were altered, and I could not gain access to my C drive. Thankfully, my browser was still functioning fine, so I googled for some answers.

Conclusion? I got attacked by this mean thing called PC Privacy Cleaner.

Basically it is a spy ware that prompts you with exaggerated threats, then directing you to sites whereby you can purchase FAKE spy ware removers. A couple of sites suggested that I install Malware, which is a free for trial anti-Malware program.

I was elated when I recovered the basic functions of my PC. Then...

The trojans resurrected themselves upon rebooting!!

I was planning to blog about the TV series Calefare, but I am beyond annoyed right now.

SCREAM*!!

deep breath*********************

Wish me luck in my battle with the evil ones...

Ah yeah, those guys. Like 'we found 1458 malware this and that on your hard drive' and ask you to click here. Always thought it was fishy.

Mine is Avast! It's free and pretty good, you do need to register but so far it's all free.

thank you darlings, but this particular virus is evolving faster than most anti-viruses are up to date. So most of the usual options don't work. I'm still battling the evil, and since I'm reasonably disciplined in my backups, I might just succumb to my final resort. Reformatting. aRghZ~!!

It also helps to run those cleaning programs in Safe Mode; I found it cleans better and more thoroughly than when I run them in normal Windows. Wouldn't it be fun to tar and feather the people who invent that junk???
