Horror story repeated often.

I run into this on many sites even on embroidery sites.

Some just want to sell you useless software. But some load a
vicious little program that steals your personal information.

So click the X in the top right hand corner. If that does NOT shut
down or if a bunch of stuff starts loading or flashing on the screen:
THIS IS IMPORTANT! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! PULL THE PLUG! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
That is correct,> pull the plug<. Shut your puter down >ASAP<. You
may try closing your browser, but I'd, >pull the plug<.

Now I'll give you a list of programs that are free FREE. That will
save you a huge "Pain In The Mickta".

They need to be UPDATED Every week. They need to be run at least once
a week an/or if you encounter problems. Hate to tell you this, but
the guy you are paying to fix your puter, is probably running one or
more of these right now.

OK here we go:

My first piece of software is called CrapCleaner it can get rid of a
lot of junk
http://www.ccleaner.com/ Run it before you run the others.


Next AVG Free version which runs along side my Norton antiVirus
http://free.avg.com/

This little gem dos'nt even run. You update it each week and it
imunizes your puter for a ton of stuff

Adaware an awsume program I use the pro version. The free one is
excellent.
http://www.adware-2009.com/v2/

Spybot Search and Destroy
http://tinyurl.com/78ubw
These are free but need to be run at least one time per week and need
to be updated every week. EVERY WEEK that is important.

Since running these I've not had a single horror story to tell. (I
learned of these after going thru an absolute nightmare).

Good Luck

Been there with that virus on 2 different computers this summer! Only
it cost us 49.95 for the first one then 60 to get it removed. Add
insult to injury to pay to get the virus!
Computer guy was able to rescue and leave our stuff intact! Great
guy. Hope yours is as good as mine.

I was doing a Google search for a HS classmate of my husband's and
clicked on a site that immediately said I had acquired 3 viruses and
that my antivirus was not up to date and I needed to D/L, which I
did.

Site looked official but it is known as Antivirus 2009. All day
long, I
would boot up my computer and it would work for awhile and then
crash.....so, it's now with our computer guy in hopes of recovery.
Ignore this if it comes your way....it is a hoax and will mess up
your
computer big time and can not be deleted, like other unwanted
programs.
Sad day....no computer, no sewing, agggghhh! Joyce in cold
