I am new to MalwareTips. I got mt account a couple of days ago. I'll be roaming the site and replying to threads.

I first became interested in malware after my first computer (Windows XP) died from a Rogue (although I was panicing(i was 10 and didn't know anything about malware)). I purchased my Windows 7 a week later.

Hopefully I'll do good in the forums

Thats how I got interested, Got a nasty rouge on my computer when I was 10 got another when I was 12 even though I was panicking aswell, I got interested in Malware and PC security. Its Funny once you think about it.

Anyways, Welcome to the Forums! :welcomewave:

Actually I've had my windows 7 for about a year and a half and so I was 12. The rogue got on my browser I did not install it. I thought it was rediculously priced (about $90) I was panicing and running a scan with MBAM. Long story short I shut down my computer and can't start it up anymore.

Hello and welcome to MalwareTips.

Hope that you enjoy your stay.

The first stop that we recommend is the PC Security Configuration Wizard so that we can give you feedback on your configuration.

Have a look around the forum. You will learn quite a few new things here ;)

Once again welcome :)
