Avast, Malwarebytes, Adaware, Firefox (just in case IE is hosed). Avast was your tip Don.

Malwarebytes found and removed about 400 nasties.... I started an Avast scan before I left.

Thanks George.

Way to go, George! Knock on wood, but in all of the years having a computer we've not had serious problems. We went to MIL's in March and my niece completely messed up Em's laptop. She downloaded some malware. You guys gave me some great pointers to get it taken care of. I have no idea what program I used, but it worked perfectly, and we've not had a problem since.

I do like Malwarebytes, does a good job removing. Avast doen't catch a lot of they stuff Malwarebytes will.

So, I officially need to get anti-virus software. The one AOL used to give you for free and constantly update is now dead.

Being that we're on the topic, I thought I'd ask here. What should I get?

 

[DVCsince02]

I use free.avg.com for my anti-virus protection.

Hi Jen. I'm pretty sure that is the #1 free av download at download.com. I'm probably going to check that out and see if it's better than avast. Avast is only a 60 day trial.

I would like to see what George keeps on his thumbdrive too. I have had a couple of adware battles myself.

Offline recovery is the best way to fly.

Bart PE disk (customized for my purposes), un-nest the registry, run adware removal tool and antivirus. Works every time and in under 30 minutes.

I actually had to put a separate boot partition on my parents computer that has a Bart PE recovery install so that I can boot into it without having to use my thumb drive.

Ultimate Boot CD for Windows

Good to hear Nicole. My other sister uses AOL and has no download savvy. She'll follow any links and gets in trouble all the time. She had to bring her system to someone for cleaning. It was so bad I couldn't do anything with it. Yet she still insists on using AOL.

I need a laptop. You could find me a cheap one of those to buy.

George, avast home edition is free, you just have to register it to get a code. We have it on about 500 machines. I like avg as well, but have found avast finds and cures more issues than avg.

Yesterday, huge Turkey!

Today, turkey Tortilla soup, Yummmmm!

What kind of a roaster is that? The bird looks huge!

 

[k5jm]

What kind of a roaster is that? The bird looks huge!

That is a HUGE Cast Iron Dutch Oven. That bird was about 22 pounds (10kg).

That Dutch Oven is called the Ultimate Turkey Roaster and is the big brother of the Ultimate Dutch Oven and has a Convection Cone in the Center.


I have cooked numerous meals with this beast and they all taste great. The Turkey took 1hr and 40 minutes to cook.

I am a little down guys. I had to ask Tracey to cancel our cruise today. My brother is really sick. He has had liver disease for a while now. He is on the transplant list. He has had to be tapped twice and seemed a bit confused on the phone more than once. I am so worried about him. Please send some extra prayers and pixie dust if you can. All our extra funds and vaca time will be used to visit him. I am glad I still have DAP in a few days. My sister is coming down so hopefully she can fill me in a bit more on what the doc has been saying. Thanks for listening to me ramble. This is not the ending I wanted to my day.

Liz I am so sorry to hear about your brother, I will send him lots of pixie dust.
I am sorry you had to cancel your cruise!
Don't give up hope!

I guess you are all set for DAP.

I need a laptop. You could find me a cheap one of those to buy.

Are you look for netbook or laptop?

 

[katscradle]

I just wanted to tell John and Katherine to have a safe trip down to WDW. I'll see you guys on the 9th!

Thanks Anna!
We are in Pennsylvania right now.
Heading for Anne's.
