(nt) [Re: mogli] #255256 - 05/23/11 06:43 AM Reply Agreed...but most of this BS anti-malware stuff starts scanning, or at least has the illusion that it's scanning the moment it is kicked off. The best thing you can do is open your task manager and kill any task that looks bogus, or start the PC in safe mode. Run a TDSSkiller scan (look in my previous post in this thread) and if it finds anything have it remove it. Next run a Malwarebytes scan and remove anything it finds. krick Get Fuzzy Reged: 02/09/04 Posts: 4235 Send PM Re: Someone please explain what this is [Re: Antny] #255258 - 05/23/11 07:09 AM Reply Here's some free stuff you can do to help protect yourself from bad sites... Change your browser to one that Supports Adblock Plus... Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb Change the DNS servers in your router to point to the OpenDNS servers. http://www.opendns.com/ GroovyMAME support forum on BYOAC mogli MAME Fan Reged: 01/26/08 Posts: 1956 Send PM That seems a bit of work.... [Re: Hizzout] #255273 - 05/23/11 11:53 AM Reply I used to run things like Spybot and Ad-aware, but I got tired of that stuff. And except for a brief breach of common sense, I haven't had any issues. MSE seems to be doing well. If they get and bork my OS, I'll just wipe the partition. Consider it high comedy....sincere tragedy....whatever...don't take it personally. The Culture Pages: 1
