Mac is only safe until it's the MORE popular platform (soon), then there will just as many viruses.

I was using avira, and I have a router. The damn thing started telling me I had a virus and trying to make me buy some scam AV program, which I'm sure would have ass raped my bank account. It locked out all my restore/backup stuff, wouldn't let me run any programs, and kept me from using spybot or any of the antivirus I had. Formatting took care of it. I'm pretty much fully restored to what I had before.

Anytime you get one of those pop ups on your web browser, just pull up task manager and end process your browser.

I caught some shit from my wife (lots of sick kids in her class and she had something) and I was bleeding like crazy from my swollen, infected sinuses, but the Amox took care of it.

Security Tool, Security Sheild, Windows Secuity Center, etc etc etc. I've had a couple of these fake security center virus' before. I have gotten 3 from school research alone.

There are a couple ways of attacking these. System restores dont always fully remove the files. I did that and the same fake Java installer hit me. Because these virus' will shut down any antivirus program, and dont allow you to access task manager, the way to best remove them is to enter safe mode with networking if you dont have a copy of Malwarebytes Antimalware. Run Malwarebytes and quarentine the items. Malwarebytes will then restart the computer. At that point run your normal antivirus and malwarebytes again under normal operating.

Yeah. Formatting gets rid of it as well, but it's the nuclear option. I haven't had any problems until today, my laptop is completely restored but a game I'd made a massive amount of progress with on my phone is completely wiped out. It makes me sad inside. Not to worry though, scrapegoat is a programmer, he's gonna hack it for me tomorrow.

I'm having problems with Win7 updater. Keeps telling me I have updates, I download them, and they fail to install.
