So … let’s talk Internet Security shall we?

Last night I was google-ing along and came across a site that wanted to do an auto-download. Now, I know not to click Ok. Part of my job is IT afterall.

Well, since I wasn’t really paying much attention, instead of clicking CANCEL (like you all should if you’re not sure about an auto-download) I ended up clicking OK by accident. UGH! Let me just tell you – that shot my night.

I spent several hours last night fighting the dang Trojan virus. It hijacked my internet browser – not good.

Before you ask – YES, I have antivirus on my computers. I use McAfee on both of my computers. And yes, it did catch the virus – but not in time. It had already changed entries in my registery. Talk about a nightmare. So, while McAfee did clear the virus, the damage was done.

Now – let me tell you about the best program out there! It’ll save you a trip to a computer tech – and some money most likely.

Spyware Doctor from PC Tools is fantastic!!!!!!!! It costs $30! And within about 90 minutes of downloading it – everything was back to normal on my desktop!!!!!! I’m soooo happy about that. The $30 is actually a year long subscription and works in conjuntion with your current antivirus. It goes deeper though, and is able to clean out the registery as well. (NO, I’m not affliated with either site, just a happy customer!)

Anyway, so, friendly warning, just be careful about what you download and click on! But if you do have a problem, there is a great problem out there that’ll help!

Tonight I’m taking the time to run another McAfee full scan, another Spy Doctor scan, and a Spybot scan. Once all those run and clear my machine one more time, then I can start posting artwork again (and yes, I have several things to post)!!!!
