What's the name of that one program that was popular a year or so back anyway that scanned and deleted viruses? I remember maddox mentioned it in 'the best page in the universe' once but can't find it. I downloaded one only to later read that it only scans without deleting unless you buy it. What asshats, trying to make an honest living! I want stuff free! |

by the way I had a weird popup prompt 2 days ago about... I forget what it said EXACTLY, but it said something very close to this: "security alert!!! We're spying on you!!" It had multiple exclamation marks like that untypical to any normal professionally made prompt. I searched for the exact phrase in google and got no matches. wtf I think it had 'ok' or 'cancel' and i think i clicked 'ok'. |

then you must most definitely run ad-aware and scan your computer. |

That link didn't work for me... unless it sent me a virus or something. |

nevermind that link did work... who the hell would give you a prompt to TELL you they're spying on you, other than a comedian. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of spying...? I have 44 tracking cookies and 8 alexa whatever the hell that means. Now if I can just figure out if "quarantine" means "delete"... |

Such messages appear to make you more willing to pay money for anti-spyware programs. |

ha ha... you're probably right... |

Tracking cookies aren't [i]so[/i] much of a problem but Alexa is a problem if you use IE as it "works as an Internet Explorer toolbar and may track your web browsing and search information.". Are you using IE rather than Firefox then. As if you use the latter you just click in the X (close button) in the corner rather than being forced to press any buttons. (plus if you have adblock (updated) you shouldn't really get that anyway) After Adaware-ing, make sure you run a scan with Spybot as well: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ As adware that gets picked up by one program sometimes doesn't get picked up by the other one and vice-versa. |

a 30 day trial version is considered 'free anti virus'? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one is free, not the professional version or whatever |
||||||||

Yeah, go for AVG. I'm been with it for the last 3 years and nothing has really every got through. |

Good, that puts you halfway there. Now, stop visiting all those sex-with-inanimate-objects website internet pages and bbs's and you will be good to go. |
