DAY # 272 : About Once Every 6 Month I have to Re-install Windows and Start Over

UPDATE:
Wednesday, 22-Mar-2006 1:17 PM

This week must have been the most important week this year as I planned to announce an entire round of changes and updates to the network with an email to the IRs. It almost didn't get anywhere near that point when on Monday I was hit by a malware suite. In this case it was the worst virus that I have seen in a long time.

I always make it a point not to open attachments and never to visit sites at random while researching. I almost never download "stuff" that I don't know anything about. However, on Monday I got hit by a program called Spy Falcon or Spyfalcon as its called. I first search the Internet for ways to remove it and in general found several elaborate directions on how to get it done. Then I check for program that can take care of the task automatically. I did a bit of further reading to make sure that the software I was about to install could do the job, first of all.

In general the program, working in free mode, did a great job. Since it's done so well, I'll give it a review now.

First of all I had removed the old standby Norton products because it had gotten 'blotted' and switch my loyalty to Microsoft. I figured that if they make the OS that I use, surely then can make a great anti virus

program for me as well. Since I have to install the product on several computer, I wanted to make sure that it was the best. However, when I got hit by SpyFalcon, I realized that my MS threat protection was not up to the task as this stealthy spy falcon had managed to "move in" to my work computer. Then I read about the experience of other who had the same problem and found out about PC Tools Spyware Doctor, and the fact that it was generous enough to remove the intruder for free and then allowed me to use the program to check what other problems I had.

Well, there were a lot of problems. The ones that Microsoft did not catch went into the hundreds. In the end, the conclusion was that it's not a good idea to let the fox guard the hen house.

So, I extended the "thanks" to the PC Tools Spyware Doctor by purchasing the program, which seems to do an outstanding job at guarding my pc.

Here are more details from the PC Tools own web site located here:>>

  • Has regularly updated scanners that are extremely fast and accurate at detecting the latest types of infections.

  • Continuously"immunizes" your system against thousands of known malicious browser hijackers (BHO) and ActiveX threats.

Thanks to PC Tools Spyware Doctor I didn't have to reinstall and work around a week to get rid of all the junk that I had accumulated. The program does not cost much and the savings to me was priceless. You can bet that I will contact the company to get a discount for our Maxsimo Card users!

I hope it will save you as much trouble as it saved me. Now, speaking of all that time I saved, I am still working on the "grand" update that I hope to post in 2 hours or so to the net. I've got to go. Carpe Diem, Sam.
