[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 103564, post: 1062438"] As I stated above, no offense intended. A story to tell i have of why i find it imperative to help average users in the right direction. I had just gotten my first computer "many years ago" and was studying online to get certified through a course when i got nailed by a nasty piece of malware that rendered my machine unusable. Upon going around to local shops, i found they wanted to charge me the same amount of money to "disinfect" my machine as i paid for it, i thought to myself well thats silly, i will just go buy a new one, so i did. Two weeks later while searching security solutions online i got nailed again clicking a link i thought was to a legit security product. I went to a local library, looked up the symptoms and what i seen and found i could remove it with an application, so i managed to get this application installed on the system and remove the infection "what lead me to all this to begin with".
