-1 Internets

Yes it was the challenge for which I persevered. As most of us nerds will agree, we DONT get viruses, especially scareware. The fact that my dad had it a few weeks back at least gave me some credibility in passing the blame.

The whole process, even getting programs with premium options available to clean it (malwarebytes) just reeks of corruption within anti-virus companies.

In my stubborness I don't make backups so wiping it wasn't cool. Actually getting rid of the trojan doesn't take long but system scans chew up free time. I might have been playing gta4 on the xbox in the meantime...


I really think for everyone's convenience any computer infections should be simplified to a legitimate pop-up saying "do you want a virus?" It would save everyone a lot of time and still have the same effect.
