Be Careful

[Jasper Brush]

G'day,

I clicked onto a site relating to stockings.

The site, though enjoyable, was a 'suck in' site for pornography.

It sent a worm into my computer that targeted any IE site that gave me automatic entry through a password; then targeted forums for new members.

I've been a member and on the staff of a poetry site for over eight years and the worm completely stuffed the site up for six hours.

I run McAfee Security (top of the range) as an anti-virus on my computer and it was useless. It was only when I brought into play my reserve anti virus 'Malwarebytes' that I nailed the bastards.

The worm was PUP with two extensions. Malwarebytes clobbered the worm and exterminated it.

So if you want good anti-malware software download 'Malwarebytes' it is free. Yep! you can download it for free.

Though, In my case, I paid about 20 bucks and upgraded to the super dooper version.

Just a thought.

I mentioned this because it my help some members if they get saddled with the same problem I had.

Regards to all.

John - Surgical, fishnet, or black silky, sexy sheer silk ones?????? Just curious.

I'm safe - never wear the darn things now I 'm not working and have never ever found them to be 'enjoyable'

Cheers

Nah!

Now my face has gone red.


I popped up as I ambling through a few pages on the web.


The point is if I hadn't been alerted to what was going on all of this garbage would still be spewing out of my computer.

My anti-virus was useless.

If I hadn't had Malware software I would have been in a pickle.

I would have to taken my computer to a shop to be repaired or have had a technician call and fix it up.

Good bye.

I'm off.

Oh come on John, you can tell us We won't tell a soul sssshhhh!

[Jasper Brush]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh No


I swear blind I will never-ever look at a shapely ankle again.

Even when I walk down the street I'm going to look up at the sky.

Never, ever again.

Never!

One time I had a motherboard with a name of “ePox” yes small “e” and capital “P”. I looked up this site for some motherboard drivers, well you can imagine all these things opened up took over the whole computer in the end I had to have it “Nuked” and reload all our stuff. Took a week you don’t want to go down that road.

You have a point there BW. I'll have to look where I'm going.


Hmmm... The motherboard name was a sort of a warning Dave.

I imagine with a name like that your computer was susceptible to the 'Black Plague' virus etc.

[Dave Smith]

Yeah John

You’re right that computer and all its inherent problems are now in computer heaven, or is that just landfill?
