Bugs Have Been Bugging Me Today

Chuck Zimmerman

I had hoped to have some more items posted today but thanks to a bug on my main notebook computer that hasn’t been possible. If I could find the person who created this bug I’d love to “pinch his little head off” as a good friend of mine likes to say. I don’t know if you’ve had the pleasure of experiencing “Winfixer” or “virtumonde” but just hope you don’t. I run daily updates and scans with Norton Internet Security, Microsoft AntiSpyware and Spy Sweeper on my notebook (which is running in safe mode right now while scanning again) and this bug still got in there somehow. It is a real problem too. It slows down the computer, runs popups and tries to install software even if you tell it not too, plus programs just lock up for no good reason. I won’t bore you with any more of the problems this causes. I’m also going to install Ad-Aware and SpyBot Search and Destroy. I spoke with a Microsoft security technician during this whole process who says you can’t run enough of these programs to keep up with the hackers out there. Nice. Not.
