What's up, guys?
Oh my God, less than 15 minutes ago I caught the Win7 Total Internet Security 2011 bastard for the second time in a little over a week! Same crap, couldn't do anything on the Internet, started "scanning for malware" without my permission and what not, same crap that thing does. So I restarted the computer, hit F8 and performed a System restore...the restore the computer to an earlier time and voila!! The account that was affected, (mine) is now able to get on the internet and allows me to do whatever I want. I am sorry that I am going on and on but I am so nervous and upset...so ok, now that the machine *seems* not to be crippled anymore, I am running a *full scan* with Microsoft Security Essentials to see if that thing is still there. I still haven't downloaded Spybot or Malwarebytes. Why is the computer no longer doing what it was when it caught that thing, crippling my antivirus and everything? Gee, could it be gone?
Or do I download the two utilities mentioned above just to make sure? When I have those two antibastards, do I scan with both of them at the same time or do a scan with one and then the other?
Once again I thank you in advance for any help or advice. I just can't believe I had the same problem twice!!
Best regards
