Well i have created viruses and gotten my own but never have I ever dealt with such a pain. This ransom ware drove me to the edge. It took me over two hours to just find programs that would remove this pest for free. I tried about 7 different products and half of them did not detect anything. The program that removed it was spyware doctor. After i removed it my computer started having system problems and then would not recognize the .exe file types anymore. After all this i had to reinstall windows. This is the biggest pain ever. Have you ever gotten this? What are your experiences?

Download Avast from www.avast.com
It's free.
It's better than Norton or Macafee or the other pay monthly security things.
It doens't bog down your computer.
You don't get these viiruses.

If you're using windows, why do you have Tux as your avatar again?  
  Wishful thinking, no? :D

 

 I use windows, linux, and mac. I use windows for my web designing and image editing needs. I love dreamweaver and photoshop. Other than that i use linux.



For someone that can create virus's Dreamweaver seems a bit of a cop out.


well it lets me get things done fast so i can work on my next project. I used to use Nvu but i had compatibility issues. Then i used bluefish but i found dreamweaver easier.

Nah never had that one...Usually people that know how to "create viruses" are fairly good at not getting them...

i know. But i lent my flash drive to my friend and he gave it back and plugged it in then automatically it installed and started to bug up my computer.
