removing a trojan

Recommended Posts

Nice thing about Mcafee is it detects virus's even when its not scanning. You may wake up one day and it has found 3 or 4 trojans you didn't even know were there.

Or you could be browsing a site and it could find one. Its really nice.

Not to mention Quicklean is a neat program and it comes with Mcafee shredder which PERMANENTLY deletes files, unlike the BS windows recycle/delete is.

And it also comes with its own antispyware scanner which is nice.

People, people, people.....

www.my-etrust.com/microsoft

Free year of antivirus protection (this is one of the best programs in the industry)

The trial runs out and they want you to buy......

WRONG

make a new email account (free yahoo account works)

download a new copy via the new email address

voila

lifetime of uber good antivirus protection

then download Spybot S and D.....bam, malware gone

Then download Adaware....bam, adaware gone.

Turn on Windows Firewall (its a microsoft product but its not actually ALL that bad....plus its free)

Now you have complete, lifetime protection.

What did you spend?

10 minutes. 0 dollars. Hooray.

Never used e-trust but I love Mcafee's Suite, which comes with:

Firewall(much, much better than Windows Firewall)

Virus Scan(Very, very good)

Privacy Service

Shredder(awesome)

Spamkiller

Wireless Home Network Security

Antispyware

Quickclean(frees up HD space for you)

and then I go and grab Spybot, Ad-aware and Spy Sweeper, along with Stinger and AVG for extra virus scanning.

UBER UBER PROTECTION!

I've never used e-trust but I know some people who did that asked me to help them clean their pc and the scanners I installed found things it didn't. However, it may have found things mine didn't also, not sure.

And...like I said, the people at Mcafee are stupid. No serial for the suite. You can even register a downloaded version for updates. All you do is put in contact info.

I would avoid Symantec, all of you...if you call their tech support they charge you 30 bucks. Eek!

Edit:

Here is a nice link about the upsides/downsides of all the different suites.

OOH, here is the top10 by PC Magazine.

They gave bitdefender #1, I may have to check it out.

I've used Kazaa K++ v 2.4.5 for over two years. I've NEVER had a problem. And I download all sorts of crap. Music, movies, programs, everything. It's never done me wrong and I've NEVER seen a program that works better, downloads faster, or finds more sources.

Kazaa won't be around much longer, its a good program but it IS infested with viruses, so don't use it without some serious scanners. edonkey is also good, and limewire is okay...but I've had trouble finding conent there.

When it comes down to it, torrent sites have more content with less chance of a virus.

I WARN ALL MUDDERS NOT TO USE BITDEFENDER!

It randomly cuts me off the net for checks and **** without warning(making my char linkdead) or reboots the pc without giving me any option, that and I have found it impossible to uninstall.

And thus another lesson in porn browsing comes to an end.

HEY! This is my dad's computer! Three males live in this house when I'm not here. one hasn't hit puberty, and the other two are full-grown, porn addicted men! My dad has a whole file I found of porn, labeled 'mosely' (what ever that is). Although I used to have a porn problem, I at least kept virus protection up to date.

Thus the comment is proven true. Heh.

As for the 'mosely' labeled folder. It's probably so that the younger, more impressionable male(s) in the house wouln't find it quite so easilly. I mean, come on. With a minor in the house, you really going to have a folder entitled 'PORN' in nice large caps like that? Not likely. However, he should have burried it in some obscure place and flagged it hidden as well. And a couple of other things. But that point is moot.

hey Warpnow, just thought you should know that your messages are full and I cant send you a PM.

Anyway what I wanted to say was that link you sent me didnt work after all. It just came up with a blank page. I thought it was just my connection because it is very fickle to say the least. But after trying for several days now it simply didnt work.

Do not get me wrong, I am greatful that you tried, but I just thought you should know it didnt work.

Thanks anyway.

Here's my soulution, delete kazaa, morpheus, minMX, or whatever tools you use to 'illegally' download music from the internet. Just because your shared foulder wasn't infected doesn't mean jack. It was that, or porn sites.
