The Guy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Just had to take my computer to the Geek Squad. New Trojan Virus that is going around is pretty bad. Wiped my computer clean, back up hard drive too. Watch out where you go and what you open on the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guy Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Talked to Geek Squad last night they said the delivery system varys from system to system from what they have heard or seen brought in. Email, websites, ect. (note: always check URL bar to see if you are in fact at the right website URL) I saw the room of computers being worked on approx 30x40 feet full and part of the car audio installation bay.

Mokken Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Watch out where you surf is the first part, second is to have a good antivirus software, Norton, Mcafee and all the major brands are junk IMO. The best free application is MS Security Essentials. I've been in IT for 16 years now and have to test these things thoroughly. I put a PC through a torture test, purposely visiting websites I knew would try to infect it, and it stopped the malware/virus before it had a chance to do any harm. I don't use this application in a business environment, but recommend it for a personal use. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
