Home Depot Warning
Went shopping at my local Home Depot the other day. Browsing through
the kitchen cabinet section I see one of the computers that the HD people use to write your order. It has a big warning on the screen from Mcafee Anti Virus Software that the system is infected with spyware. Told one of the HD customer service reps about it, they looked at me like I tried to have sexual relations with their dog. Went out to the car to get my cell phone and take a picture and when I came back the offending system was turned off. Just makes you wonder how those computers are tied into the computers up front that take your money when you buy something. Very scary! |

You worry too much. You better go home and check the radon output of your
granite kitchen counters. Careful now don't stand too close to the microwave oven it will make you sterile and give you breast cancer. You have a cell phone? Hell don't hold it too close to your head you'll get brain cancer. cm HD Shopper wrote in message ... Went shopping at my local Home Depot the other day.

IT'S A SCAM. I'd be willing to bet a paycheck that the warning and scanning of your computer by McAfee is all a scam just so you'll renew your subscription. I bought their subscription when I first bought my PC almost 1.5 years ago. When it ran out and I didn't renew their subscription I got daily virus warnings, "do you want to resubscribe" etc., etc., etc., etc., unending attempts to get me to subscribe again. I got so sick of their warnings (which is exactly what they intended to do ) I re-subscribed for one year for $75.00. Just to get their daily warnings off my screen!!!! So I go through all that, McAfee rescans my computer and notices that my firewall is no longer up to date. So I go to download the latest and what do you know??? The upgrade is no longer available, in order to get it, I have to spend another $67 to get this updated firewall. I didn't pay it. I got so sick I just left the computer. What you saw in Home Depot was just a daily fake, scam, annoyance, by McAfee to get the user of that computer to spend money. Did you notice that McAfee is one of the few things you CAN'T DELETE from Windows? |

Did you notice that McAfee is one of the few things you CAN'T DELETE from Windows? You can delete it but it is a PITA. I had it for a few months on new computer then subscribed to Comcast where it is free. When the old copy expired, I had problem you described as old did not realize there was new. Went on line with McAfee to find how to correct and had to delete everything and start from scratch. I put free Avast on wife's computer as it is far less a memory hog than McAfee. |

Careful now don't stand too close to the microwave oven it will make you sterile and give you breast cancer. You have a cell phone? Hell don't hold it too close to your head you'll get brain cancer. cm HD Shopper wrote in message ... Went shopping at my local Home Depot the other day. Browsing through the kitchen cabinet section I see one of the computers that the HD people use to write your order. It has a big warning on the screen from Mcafee Anti Virus Software that the system is infected with spyware. Told one of the HD customer service reps about it, they looked at me like I tried to have sexual relations with their dog. Went out to the car to get my cell phone and take a picture and when I came back the offending system was turned off. Just makes you wonder how those computers are tied into the computers up front that take your money when you buy something. Very scary! I always wondered why if microwaves make you sterile why they don't use them for birth control. (directions, stand in front of the microwave for 5 minutes before sex) -- Claude Hopper :) ? ? ¥ Tried it. Didn't work. The rash is almost gone, but gets aggravated by humid conditions. Little Bubba turns two this week. He's doing pretty okay with the special teacher. Steve ;-) |

Running a computer "bareback" on the internet is totally foolhardy - particularly when there are MANY GOOD FRR ANTIVRUS PROGRAMS available. I use AVG Free. Lots of other good ones. I used AVG Free for years before I moved and began using Cox as my ISP. They provide McAfee at no cost. For spyware I use SuperAntiSpyware - also the free edition, on my home computers. I use Spybot Search & Destroy, also free. How does that compare? I also use Ad-Aware. I find SuperAntiSpyware better overall but have used search and destroy as a tool when I wasn't sure what I had. Ad-Aware is an OK product but I find SuperAntiSpyware significantly more effective. I also use a spam filter (a pay subscription) from Cloudmark. I dont seem to need any 3rd party spam filters. Between built in filters that I tweak, and a comprehensive hosts file, I dont have much of a problem. Unlike me, your email address is likely not on 20+ websites as webmaster or technical contact, not to mention my own web sites. It's been a slow day and I've got 350 spams since 11pm last (that's about 22 hours) Cloudmark got every one of them. I'm on Rogers for my one account,but on principal will not use the Norton they provide. Ever since Peter sold the company to Symantec their service has been terrible. I used to deal with Peter Norton personally in the "good old days". I would not compute on an internet connected computer without them. PERIOD. As for McAfee and Norton - no, I'll pass, thank-you. They are effective, but invasive and overpriced. |

I had it for a few months on new computer then subscribed to Comcast where it is free. When the old copy expired, I had problem you described as old did not realize there was new. Went on line with McAfee to find how to correct and had to delete everything and start from scratch. I put free Avast on wife's computer as it is far less a memory hog than McAfee. Avast is good too, but I don't lioke their "funky" interface. |

You can totally screw up a system in no time by opening the wrong e-mail attachment - Spyware is less scary, but is one of the most common contributors to identity theft. And it slows your system down. Assuming you have all your service packs up to date on Windows you are correct. HOWEVER, on a straight XP install, even with SP1 installed, there are several hundred vulnerabilities, many of which can be infiltrated WITHOUT opening an attachment. Auto Update is your friend. I always set it up to automatically download the updates and notify me so I control what and when it updates - nothing quite like having the computer update itself and reboot in the middle of a critical operation. |
