I don't know if any of you are on this site....

If any of you use sugardaddyforme.com, be advised that not 25 minutes ago my computer was hacked and a worm is making its way through damaging everything. It comes in the form of Disk Antivirus Professional. It starts by wiping out your existing antivirus before you even know it is on your computer. Look up the DAP info, this is a nasty lil beast.

Worms are nasty lil beast

Instructions for removing the beast

First thing I did when I got my new computer about 6 months ago was uninstall Norton AntiVirus. That's the biggest joke of a AntiVirus. Then I downloaded Microsoft Security Essential which is Free. You get the latest updates, which you can have automatically installed at certain times of the week. It seems to work for me because it catches most everything.

I took it to BestBuy since I still have warranty geek squad protection and the damn thing was still worming even in safe mode. They said they had never seen a worm do that before. I should have it back by Thursday. So, I am reduced to working on a MAC.

Get Avast or Nod32.

Sorry that happened to you GypsyHeart and that you are having to spend so much time and effort along with substantial inconvenience to get back to normal. It is good you have your warranty to let them help you with it. Nice of you to inform others.

Zone Alarm and Stop Sign are also good programs.

I have Avast. So far, it is working pretty good.
