That's pretty rude that they use your computer during your breaks! I'd be well pissed off at that!

My computer, other people sit at while I'm on breaks etc. I always erase my browsing history before they sit down at my desk. All these people do is answer the phone and surf the internet, and they got me that nasty virus by using Yahoo. and looking in the Love Pages! Thanks! Idiots! Put me a day behind in my work because you wanted to know your horoscope and what kind of man is good for you. I GOT the answer NONE! Damnit! I hate that they are even allowed to use my computer! I'm gone for two fifteen minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch, they need to stay the hell off my computer!

It's all made to look like an antiviral system has taken over your computer and tells you how infected you are and then, you download it, it cost's money and you just lost your identity! As much as a pain it is to run it each day, I sure as hell will, and will probably upgrade to it's finer system affects and dump Norton next renewal. Piece of crap, if it can't sort out that much garbage on my system then it needs to go! BASTARDS!!! I'm sick of them!

I would recommend you shut down security running on your computer or otherwise when it reaches the fire wall it quits responding. BUT MY FRIENDS! I run heavy security on my computer, and I was shocked at the amount of Malware it found on my PC. It was with an initial quick scan up to 1,450 infected files and when I ran the deep scan it came up with 93 more infected files. Almost all of this crap came from my daughter loading MyWebSearch to the choice of web browsers. DO NOT Download "My Websearch" It will slow your system down to a snails pace! The program I downloaded was called "Malwarebytes" You can get it at Malwarebytes.org. It's an excellent cleaner of garbage off your system. I'm shocked how much better my PC is running now! I in general, don't recommend software to anyone, but I was impressed with what this program did for my computer, so I thought I would pass it along! |
