Please consider this as a little present from me to you. I’ve been using it since 18 November 2008 when it first appeared . I consider it one of the strongest anti virus, spy ware programs going and it’s free! It’s Microsoft Security Essentials. The URL for it is: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ . You can obtain it by typing Microsoft Security Essentials into your search engine or simply copying the URL into your address bar. There’s an ugly virus going around that has cost millions, if not billions of dollars. MSE can handle it. When the virus first appeared it was sneaking past almost all anti virus, spy ware programs. Whenever I use my computer, I always open MSE. I use the Update feature, go to the Home feature, begin a full scan, and minimize it. It never gets in the way, and as far as I can tell, doesn’t slow anything down. I highly recommend it.


For instance: I have four different email programs I generally use daily for different reasons., one with yahoo, one with MSN, one with HughesNet, and one with gmail. When I quit using them I never use the (empty) feature. I open up the spam and trash folders, check the “select all” box at the top or bottom of the folder and hit “delete” which removes them from my PC forever. I was advised by a geek to do this and it’s good insurance. By doing that a virus can’t hang around in your PC and continue to do damage. It’s good insurance and doesn’t take very long. I always look at all the emails before I do so for further reference. When I opened my spam folder on my yahoo account I noticed an email from a long time acquaintance of mine from Rocky Point. I thought, That can’t be right. They must have made a mistake.” I un-spammed it and opened it, and was immediately infected with the virus. Microsoft wouldn’t accept my email request because I was infected with the virus again. I ran a full scan with MSE and the virus was eradicated agaim.

Good advice. There was a virus that infected a lot of us on this, or maybe the previous forum that was tough to get off. I tried everything with no success, but this program found it! I've used it since, and it can dig them out where others can't...http://support.microsoft.com/kb/890830
Microsoft released the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool to help remove specific prevalent malicious software from computers that are running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows XP. After you download the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, the tool runs one time to check your computer for infection by specific prevalent malicious software (including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom) and helps remove any infection it finds. Microsoft releases a new version of the tool every month.

Microsoft Security Essentials also looks for Illegal Microsoft software and locks it on you. Then you have to buy the security key from them. I am clean.....
