Well my boss brought in his wife's computer in this morning on which his nephew has been using to surf porn on the internet with out virus protection -- Now that’s like playing in traffic with a blindfold on, or better yet, Jumping off a skyscraper without a parachute.
From the moment windows comes up no matter what you do -- a security window pops up and blocks your progress -- of course, all these windows claim they want to help you. I refer to this as extortion software, and believe me, a lot of people try to buy the software in order to get rid of the problem - including my boss. This software (virus) makes it impossible to get things done as it keeps popping up saying if you buy the software they will solve the problem. Duh! They are the problem!
Unfortunately the software his computer is infected with, is a virus type that embeds itself in the system files by replacing required windows exe files, with their own files -- which means it will be easier to virgin-ize the computer, than it would be to chase down every possible infected file in the system - so that is what I’m doing.
Guess what I going to do on my days off!
