My Virus week

Finally, today. I think I manage to delete a couple of viruses, spy ware from my pc. For a week, I've been grappling with this problem. I scanned with AVG spy ware and virus free software. It took me almost a week of keeping at it.

I don't know how I got it. Could be my nephew inadvertently downloading it or my brother. Of course, nobody admit it. But, slowly I manage to find all these pesky virus and deleted it. Argg.. my life been a mess this week. I couldn't do all the 'normal' surfing. Everyday, I "On" my pc and keep scanning to find the stupid virus who seems to be able to escape the scan.

Today, my friend was supposed to borrow me his Norton Anti-virus software but he didn't reply my call and somehow today, the virus seems to have been found and deleted. I'll have to wait and see how it goes. So far, so good though.

My advice to you guys is to download AVG free anti-virus software. The good part is that it's free and also you'll be able to update the software every time there's new updates. This is done automatically. They also have free Firewall and Spy ware software.

New virus are created almost everyday. Attacks are almost daily. I look at my firewall log and there's already 38502 intrusions!

I'm using ZoneAlarm Firewall software. It's pretty good and you can get it for free too. Of course the paid version is better if you're interested.

All in all I have a complete set of security suites for my pc but still some viruses are still able to get through. Most of the time though it's more of a human error then anything else. This is my pc but my brother and sometime my nephews when they come over, I let them play online game with it. That's when sometime these kids just surf all over the place and if you don't check out on them they could be doing something dangerous. Like the other day, I found out that one of my nephew wanted to fill up a form to purchase something online!

She almost gave up her phone number and address without anybody knowing it. Sometime, when a window ask them to click "Ok" to download 'stuff' they'll think it's okay and just click 'yes' without any thought.

Parents or guardian should always check out on their kids when they use the pc. As, you never know. I have always remind my brother and nephews to not just click 'yes' to everything. I keep telling them to just close the pop-ups and click 'no' to everything instead!

It has been a crazy week but I hope things are back to normal again by next week.

Of course, next week the Fasting month will start on Thursday or technically speaking it should be on Wednesday night. We follow our Islamic calendar.

Well, got to go. Have a nice day!
