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!

Who you gonna believe?

HD or McCaffee..... don't tell me. Let me think...

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.

Well, I also have had that same exact warning on my screen. 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?

If your computer is connected to the Internet it has spyware. If it
doesn't, it will in less than 10 minutes (5 minutes if a teenager is
using it). Spyware is not paticularly scary, nor are viruses--make
sure you don't back up any files you don't care about and do a full
scan before you backup.

Darn right you can - I do it all the time.

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.

For spyware I use SuperAntiSpyware - also the free edition, on my home
computers.

I also use a spam filter (a pay subscription) from Cloudmark.

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.

Many virii ARE quite scary. You can totally screw up a system in no

Spyware is less scary, but is one of the most common contributors to
identity theft. And it slows your system down.

what's scary about it? I could care less if HD's computers are infected.
Also, i don't believe ANYTHING McAfee OR Norton say.

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.

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.


Comcast provides McAfee also. I use AVG free after a long list of McAfee
problems.






right! My sister had nothing but problems with McAfee.
I use NOD32.


Earthlink sends emails when they determine that an email message
contains a virus. Have gotten,
perhaps, five notices over time to the effect that an email from (email
addy) has ___ virus and that
they have quarantined it. Last notice was a few days ago and I couldn't
find any reference to the
virus by the name they gave. Earthlink quarantines the message for
three days, to give a chance for
the recipient to check it out but keeps it from downloading with good
mail. Odd.

"keelogger"? Would that be next to the kee grinder, by the tools area? I
think I found the kee to all of life's problems.

It's more of problem than a keelogger, which hasn't yet been invented.

If your computer is connected to the Internet it has spyware. If it
doesn't, it will in less than 10 minutes (5 minutes if a teenager is
using it). Spyware is not paticularly scary, nor are viruses--make
sure you don't back up any files you don't care about and do a full
scan before you backup.


Many virii ARE quite scary. 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.


There is nothing scary about a virus.

You're familiar with that look?

Never have sex with your dog. They'll never look at you the same.

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)

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.

I used AVG Free for years before I moved and began using Cox as my ISP.

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.

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.
Avast is good too, but I don't lioke their "funky" interface.

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.

You are an unmitigated idiot.

Use your credit card at a checkout that has a key logger trojan and
your credit card swipe gets transmitted .... Somewhere. So do all the
passwords entered on the computer to access other areas of the
merchant's network, and pin numbers entered on the card swip machine.

Many virii

There is no such word in any language. The ENGLISH plural for virus is
viruses.

You are technically correct, It is not ENGLISH. However it is in
common usage,and both are technically incorrect.

Virus in the latin, I believe, is neither singular nor plural as it
denoted something uncountable.

In computer circles both viruses and virii are commonly used, while in
some places virus is used, no matter if singular or plural.

I’ve never had a problem with McAfee since I switched, which was about two
years ago.

I found McAfee a hog as well. Been running Avast! and PC Tools Firewall
Plus for some time and quite happy with them. Both free.
