Hey Hammer... To be on the safe side I suggest you do a FULL antivirus scan and a FULL malware scan ... just incase you have picked up something nasty that is still lurking.

I did do that last nite , after i cold down i was going to run another antivirus one today but i had to find it ( i heard it was good form twit.tv)

I did run the Malicious Software Removal Tool
aswell

thanks slimjim ( always great post form you)

For a FREE antivirus I recommend Avast ... and for FREE anti spy/malware I recommend SpywareTerminator... stick the names in google to get the download links

Avast runs in the background giving you "live" protection and will block sites and give you a warning if it detects problems, and it automatically updates itself and tells you it has done it.. but you can also get it to run scans on your computer if you want to... with SpywareTerminator you have to update it and run the scans yourself.

One of the laptops I used died a little over a year... seems they don't last that long.

Avast is very good, but it has issues with Firefox.
Also AVG is good anti-virus.
Spybot is good for malware and stuff and so it ad-aware.
All free.
I picked up some damn go.google.com virus from some jackass here!
I worked for over a month to get rid of it, nothing ever caught it coming in or could get rid of it. Except. Window own "Windows Live one care safety scanner. I must have used 15 or more programs to get rid of the thing, and I would never have thought Microsoft would come to the rescue but they did.
Now I have two many protection services running, nothing will get in cause the systems to slow.
(Well not really but you know what I mean.)

I use avast on all my computers and never have had any trouble with it with firefox and very few virsus

hammer, my xps laptop was about 3 or 4 years old, i know it was comin to the end of its life but it was a high spec when i first got it, it was a true gaming laptop and it still had a few years left in it i think but alas

 

[Irishman25]

i refuse to use goggle, gawd knows what information they are collecting "by mistake" using code they "forget" to remove lol
google is the new evil super giant, microsoft was 10 years ago
must be broken up and made to suffer!!

Some times the OSes get corrupted by the use, this can happen,

Indeed it can. Or hard drive goes bad, memory goes bad, power source, and even a cable can come loose.

 

[BugsyB]

errrr ummm babe....did you just try to restart it first? sometimes little glitches happen
i allways just shut it down and restart first lol

 

[Tom]

I bet he forgot to give it a good whack. That's how some of us men fix electronic stuff.

OOH, that was a good one, I'd better go back and find that are you a man thread.

 

[BugsyB]

hahahahaha ok piss off tommy boi hahahahaha

hey...sometimes we all need a good WHACK!! lol

 

[Tom]

Piss off?
Now is that a nice thing to say to someone who is only trying to be helpful?

[hammervice]

BugsyB yes i did restart it like 3 times i even did that shut it off and walk away for a few.

AVG works great its free and can be set to self scan. If you want better protection AVG has an Internet Security Suite thats reasonably priced. Spybot is a good addition, and protects silently from adware but requires the user to start scans.
