One more thing- those of you that don't know this already- the google- or yahoo or my space or my way toolbars are all loaded with LEGAL spyware. Meaning that they monitor everything your computer does and send the results back to the agencys that want to know, and soon you will be recieving more espam than you know what to do with. Another bad site for this is smiley central. i have found so many embedded registry entries and other stupid files in computers that had all this nonsense in them. I am not too particularly fond of knowing that big brother resides in everyone's computers cause no matter what you use your computer for or what you watch or listen to- it is your space, and it should stay that way. Another one to watch out for if you dont know it already is ANTISPY 2009 or anything that comes from coolkidweb. they use rootkits and embedded adware to launch trojans that attatch themselves to key windows registry files to launch viruses and then try to sell you thier "cure" which actually does nothing. If you buy it, then you have merely encouraged thier illegal actions, and thrown your money away cause you will still have to do a clean install of windows and a full reformat to get rid of it all. Those of you that have not backed up your files will lose everything. i have dealt with 6 computers this week that had this problem and by the way- most free versions of anti virus such as avg and the others do not search or support rootkits. you have to have PAID anti virus to do that- so far this virus has gotten past AVG free, McAfee trial, Norman trial, Norton trial and a lot of others and the only one that i know actually gets rid of it is the full paid commercial version of AVG.Even then it will corrupt your windows files so bad it wil render your computer unusable even after the viruses have been found. These are the days when everyone should own a good sold outboard usb hard drive to back up your files daily. those of you with a lot of personal text, picture or music files, DO NOT STORE THEM ON YOUR COMPUTER- unless you have serious anti virus, paid up and fully updated. so if you have nbought a new computer and the only anti virus you have is the trial version that came with it, then you need to do more.FAST this has been getting worse every week- By the way the post from Gleb at 1 am this morning works- its clean and it will install the latest adobe 9 product. EXCUUUSE ME AND MY SOaPBOX today. am merely just trying to help - Madman John - Rockford Il
