Quote - hey i just have gotten a malware problem myself from a bloody email (labeled "christmas gift" if you can believe that). i may have killed it last night when i found a few suspicious files and super deleted them. it hasn't resurfaced. but i can't be sure and don't want to be a part of some bloody evil bot army. i am seeking good security stuff. so thanks for mentioning that prevx csi. is there a concensus that it actually is a good software and not some plant? seems almost all anti malware is. were there other good programs to use? i'm not looking for reinstating the link of course, just if anyone's memory serves them well.
thanksby the way, if you receive an email called "christmas gift" or something like that, from someone on your email list, no less, better confirm it before opening otherwise delete it.
the person that supposedly sent it did not send it. another case of those chain mails reaking havoc.
really, forwarding chain mail is like having unprotected sex. you will get smacked sooner or later.
Yeah and I was just warning my mom yesterday about not opening attachements from people even if she knows them! It doesn't help! She was shortly after that playing some Microsft Presentation file with pretty pictures and music attached to it! I haven't checked out her PC for a while. I think it might be time for a serious scan!
