Frustration with the internet

[avalen]

I've pulled my little netbook out of the dustbunnies and doing some research. I WILL find that sneaky little b**stard and get rid of it.

well, I found it, or should I say them! I used trends micro free online scan, and it found two trojans that piggybacked onto two updates of my adobe flashplayer.
It was called Heur exploit something, I won't type the whole name but I looked it up and got details of what it was and how it worked. Its very very nasty! Guess I'll
be switching some of my scan applications. Now to get my screen looking like I like it

well, I changed my malware scanner which kept finding nothing to Spyhunter4 and it found 317 other nasty dangerous threats.
A complete scan took hours and fixed them all when done. Did another scan and its still finding a few more. Pretty soon I'll be
ready to go to bed and think I'll sleep better now that I've got this situation under control.
The one that bugged me the most that showed up recently under all this attack was the crackle thing. It was running some kind
of tv shows in the background and don't ya know that was certainly eating up data. Don't know WHERE that came from as I never
downloaded any type of tv thing. I do feel good though that nothing was found in all my games. Onward, forward and tomorrow
is another day.

Glad you resolved your problems. Hope you are sleeping peacefully.

Glad you found the problem, but that's a lot of unwanted stuff!! I always wonder if some of it comes from shared sites on FB - videos, cartoons, sayings, recipes, etc. Not from the sharing but from the site itself.
