SPIES!

Recommended Posts

Michele, I found over 150 files of spyware after installing and running lavasoft's ad aware in my computer. I've been using it for about 3 months now. My computer is running much better!!! I also have another free program called "Pop Up Killer" ... I've been running that for a couple of years. There's nothing worse than have those freakin' ads appearing every second or so!

Michelle, explain me the following...

1) what is your Operating system (Ie windows 98/ or XP etc...)

2) What is exactly the executable file you are trying to run?

I think I could help you pinpointing the problem.

Personally about antivirus, I like PCcillin, which has a nice firewall (software that will help you with those worms), and secondly, do not run anything directly from an e-mail, web page. First save it on your hard drive, (under the function "Save AS" by right clickin the object), and then scan it with an antivirus......for possible virus detection.

O.K., it's installed....now how do I get it to work?



If the program installed then you should be able to go to your start button select programs then look for the new program select it and as the program loads you should be prompted for choices. Tell me you are not using a gateway computer!!!

If your problem still exists in the morning PM me and we can come up with a fix.

Nope, not gateway.

O.K., well, I managed to:
1. Not take the hammer to the machine
2. Run the program.

40 files were id'd, only 2 were "High", the other 38 were "low".

Thanks for all the help, guys. i'm sorry I'm so computer intimidated/stupid/illiterate, but I'm learning...

Now, about this virus stuff.

I used ZoneAlarm, but it killed my machine. It also didn't like playing with Norton Antivirus (seems the kiddies couldn't share the crayons...:S). Then I uploaded Avast, and it worked for a while. Now it won't. It sits, pouting in the corner...whining at me for an unexpired license key...
Sigh.

And then I tried to do a spamblocker thing, and it let in all the spam, but bounced all of the people in my address book.

Things like this make me cry.

Bah. You'll know when. Everyone will know. It might even be it's own stand-alone post. A postwhoring personal attack....hrm...that has possibilities...

This is not to say there haven't been several occasions recently where I was sorely tempted, but, like a child with a secret, I am waiting for that most especial time...or when I have pms and someone rubs me the wrong way...

hey, is this like the femur list? is there a bet chart going around with "when is Michele going blow like Mt. St. Helens"???? ;)

You're stalking me, aren't you? [Shocked]

SWEET!!!!!! [Cool]


Dewd, you really have to learn.

I am a lady (hey, stop laughing!!).

Ladies don't stalk.

Men stalk ladies. Hello??? Get your role right. (Sorry, Vallerina....sometimes a lady's gotta do what a lady's gotta do!;)).

Besides, I'll let you stalk me until I catch you.

So there!
