Well, I'm writing this from a work computer. I haven't had browser access for the internet for about a week now. Something called incredifind hit my computer and has taken out my Internet Explorer. It apparently got on my system before I got my firewall and Ad Aware.

I now have the following software on my computer to keep crap like this off of it:

Zone Alarm
Ad Aware
NAV
Spam Net

Today I finally found some files at work that should help fix it, but they amount to another 4 programs I will periodically run on the computer to find things like this. Hopefully they work.

It's just amazing to me that people write code like this just for the fun of it. What a waste of human life.

I had some stuff happening 2 weeks ago too..found lots of corupt/unwanted files from stuff I think I saved on the internet. I found one morning some stuff had just downloaded itself to my desk top some casino crap(2)and the install program I think goes w/it...how I do not know? But thats when I started getting around to updating the Mcafees cuz I knew something was wrong, thats when I found the above.Those 2 parisite downloads on my desk top I tried get rid of and was not easy the kind that don't want to delete/remove wifey helped. Then I caught Typhon worm before it got in luckily 3 days later Mcafees got it again. Zone Alarm is supposed to be good I got it free.

I was wondering where you where (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
