Ok,
Because my friends and associates think I am a computer person (*IE Someone who
knows what to do with these stupid things OTHER then turn them on, leave them on
for years, and once a month check email, OK I was an IT Manager for 13 years
that might help too) I am bombarded by people asking me how to fix their totally
screwed up pc's.
I have found that 99% of these people have either
MALWARE,
SPYWARE or other
types of processes/programs running or TAKING OVER their pc. It is amazing to me
how much crap people can load onto their pc's. One friend & wife (who share
their home pc with 3 teenagers!) had over 400 running processes that AD-AWARE
found. It took Ad-Aware over 4 hrs of checking this pc, and letting it boot into
Ad-Aware to remove this junk. I had to run it on every persons login, and it
found so many things in each one.
My question's to you are:
- How do you find and remove
these from your computer.
- What do you use to KEEP your
pc free from these programs?
- PLEASE post links to download
it
- If it is free or cost $$ (and
how much)
- As well as how hard they were
to run.
- Any issues you have found
with other programs.
Please do NOT post things like "Yeah me too", I
only want you to post info that can help others.
I am looking to make a CD for the people who's pc's are so screwed up that they
cant even get onto the net any longer.
I want to offer them some choices to work from, incase one doesn't work.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
As for me:
I use: AD-AWARE SE to
remove these, but I don't have anything to keep them off my pc.
