    PC Virus: 2009 Edition!!


    Dre

    By Dre | April 28, 2009





    I just recovered(hopefully) from a massive snow ball of events that started with a shitty virus. The problem only lasted about 24 hours but it has been placed on my list of one of the BIG infections. The reason I say this is because I spent over 100 dollars to fix this little problem. It also stressed me to the point of pure anger. I was ready to go off on the next person who said my name funny.

    Long story short, I fixed it. I knew this was inevitable because I’m smart like that, and if I gave up that would mean completely reformatting my HD. Which also means losing ALL of my past original photoshop images.( I should really back this stuff up XD)

    Word of advice, be careful where you surf. You never know what piece of unwanted program could install itself on your pc.

    No, I don’t think you understand, BE FUCKING CAREFUL OR IT WILL BE HELLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Two greatest and free piece of anti-spyware/anti-virus software you’ll ever want to install on a Windows based machine are Malwarebytes and Super Anti-spyware. You would not believe how many client workstations I’ve saved from complete re-format by running these programs!

      But yea, sucks to hear about spending money to fix your system. Hopefully won’t happen again right ^^;;

      This is what time has taught me……

      I haven’t heard of Super Anti-spyware, I’ll look into that one.

      Well luckly I’ve never had a virus take out my system, but had the MBR go boom a couple of times on me. Luckly Linux boot disks work wonders.

      Linux huh.

      I inserted a second HD due to my original HD being unable to log in at all. (yes, it was that bad) I installed XP on that new HD and used my old HD as a slave to manually fix the problem. Now that the problem is fixed, I’m thinking of trying out other OS’s on my new HD.

      Can we say ubuntu?

      Even now I’m still running virus scans. I feel like a obsessive compulsive cleaner freak.
