Anyway, their computer is now so borked that I can't even d/l any
programs such as AdAware (which I wanted to reinstall) or anything
else because the browser keeps getting hijacked. I tried to
download Hijack This, but ended up with a program called AdwareAlert
which wants to charge $30... does Hijack This still exist as a
freeware program?
There are viruses out there that close the web browser as soon as you
attempt to access certain websites such as McAfee or Symantec & the
only way to clean these out is either to use a cd with a bootable OS
& AV app such as BartPE or XpPe. The biggest problem is a toss up
between surfing questionable sites & game hacking sites are
notoriously terrible as well as so called adult sites combined with
the definitions not being updated frequently enough. If these 2
issues are not addressed I don't care what AV app you use you will
get infected.
