re: malware/greyware infection Friday, August 14, 2009 at 6:43 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by elmoticky (80 messages posted) DanTheMan thank you for your advise malware/greyware infection. As you may know I simply uninstalled(not removed) my restore files and ran another scan to clean my computer. I then installed restored again and have not had viruses since then. I do not have a firewall or any other virus protection installed in my computer. I had Norton Internet Security when I used to have IE as my browser, but I discovered that IE was actually a virus trap and got rid of it, and switched to Firefox, which came with a lot of protections that I enjoy without any other costly firewalls. I am basically a reader, who just reads blogs and at some point write a thread in a forum, other than that I see no way that I could attract scams or viruses. I stay away from porns sites as a personal rule, seen one, seen them all -- that`s how I see it. DanTheMan, thanks for your advise. Take care and I seriously doubt that I would want to take down my tool to fix my computer in case of need(restore). But I will save the link you provided.P.S. I have had my computer several years now(WinMe), and never had problems with horses or serious bugs, other than my own mistakes causing slow downs and lately restore, but I have learned that this is also minor.
