If you are web geek than it's possible otherwise - not. I can't imagine my mother doesn't do stupid things with email attachments. Webkinzs last blog post..What is Webkinz Jr.

That’s exactly what it was Leo. Continuous popups warning that we had to download “malware removers” to clean our computer, but if we did I’m sure it would have done even more damage.

I especially love the ones that infect your computer..you do a search for removal and you find more malware that promises to get rid of your old malware. Leos last blog post..114 Things I Wished I Knew as an Internet Marketer When I First Started

I had a shopping advert that would pop up everytime i accessed the internet, it took me months to figure out a way to get rid of it,

Getting Malware definitely sucks. I tend to go by this one rule for myself: never open any attachments unless I asked the person if they sent me it if it's alright. If I'm uncertain, I'll just load up linux and download it then. Funny Stuffs last blog post..Wife and Mistress

@Dennis, no problem…I hope you never need to use it.

@Steve, thanks for the tip. Its amazing how snart these things are that they can get around the defenses we think are protecting us.

This is great news. The more we are active online, the higher chance of getting attacked. Sites like this will become very useful in critical situation. Glad you have overcome yours. Atnizs last blog post..The Problem Working At Home

Hey Mike,
I got the Vundo virus about a month ago. It does the popup thing too. I think I got it just by visiting some random website, and it got by my AVG program. Anyway, after a very frustrating day, I read somewhere to get the free program at malwarebytes.org. All I can say is it ROCKS! It not only cleaned up Vundo (AVG couldn’t) but found some other stuff too. I can’t say enough good about it. I’d try it out if you haven’t. I’m going to run a scan with it once a month now. ~ Steve Booth
