freeware is ruined.
I just love Firefox!
Anyone caught intentionally pushing malware on PCs should be shot, I mean it. This has ramifications for the economy.
Ping.
Good information...
Important to stay up to date on everything... browsers, antivirus... and now this spyware adware stuff. I am using MS AntiSpyware Beta, even though I've never had any spyware or adware to speak of.
Wrong! They should be tortured first, then hanged, then drawn and quartered...then shot.
Ping for later
Bless your smug heart... the buggers will hassle you soon enough. ;~D
I don't know. The problem is if they can do it, Red China can do it. I want the systems secure. Nobody should be able to do it.
Way to be posting stuff from January 11th.
This has been patched since then and if you've simply had the autoupdate on, it hasn't affected you since then. It's what, March 3rd today?
PS. Firefox dl'd four trojans on me last week. IE was bulletproof on the same sites. FYI
Which reminds me...

Anyone caught intentionally pushing malware on PCs should be shot, I mean it.I agree. Virus writers/Adware developers/Spyware authors are the absolute scum of the earth, and should be tied up and beaten with Louisville sluggers until only a bloody stump remains where their heads once existed.
Thanks!
In addition to Spybot S&D and AdAware, I use HiJack This! It is a program that takes care of browser hijacking by malware after it happens.
I don't see TDS3 or a2 personal in there, maybe add them?
I agree, and their body parts should be sold.
I have had many hours stolen from me the last 7 days fighting what sounds like the same thing.
I have beaten the stuff back, but my computer is going to have to have the hard drive replaced because of this garbage and I make my living from my computer.
if you have XP service pack 2, you dont need the fix
Don't forget to do the same to the spammers and virus writers.
He he he he...
