Bleh. It was all going good. I had finally caught up on watching most of the anime's I was behind on then when I was gone by computer got blasted with spyware. I haven't lost anything but I can't bother to download anything new yet since my dad is gonna clear off this computer to fix it. Hopefully this should be taken care of soon and I'll be able to use it on a regular basis again but I might be gone for a bit.

Kind of back now. It was even worse then adware. Some dumbass hacked the pc and stored his movie files on it. Luckily he was stupid enough to put it all in one place so I deleted it then reinstalled windows. Unfortunaetly that didn't help much so right now I'm using a temporary computer until my dad brings in a new one. On a good note I will soon have much more hard drive space then I ever did when the new pc comes in.

Nice  Don't you run any kind of firewall at all, and also adaware etc etc? I know that's probably a dumb question and I'm sure you already do, but which ones do you run? Kaz |

Kaz I just had a standard windows firewall running. I also had removed most of the spyware with a scanner but since the computer had been compromised we decided to simply switch it out after removing everything we needed. |

If you ever have. probs agian try this. It is by far my fav. virus/ad scanner and has a free trial: www.ewido.net/en/Install this baby. Reboot in safemode and run it. One of my friends is how i like to put it "Bad at the internet" and is constantly getting viruses so i hooked him up with this program. It has been working great for him and he's always getting extremely evil hardcore viruses. |

For a free scanner this isn't bad: www.avast.com/Home version is totally free, and you get constant updates. Picked up a lot of tiny bits and pieces that Norton never found when I had problems ages ago. I personally use that and zone alarm free as my firewall, but I also have a router which has a hardware firewall, so that helps a bit. As for the ad/spyware, I usually just use ad-aware. I'll have to check out that program you mentioned Goemon.  Kaz |
