Ok, I think I'm doing something wrong here.
So, I'm "surfing the net" and all of a sudden a windows pops up on my screen that says I have 40 infections! Well, I've been on the internet since 2005 so I'm very experienced and I know that infections are bad. I really appreciate the nice folks at Windows Antivirus 2009 performing a free system scan on my Gateway machine so I called the number to thank them but no one answered. They must be busy solving peoples infection problems.
Fortunately though there was a remove button and all it would cost is 29.95. This is a good deal since it is less than $1 per infection. I bought the service and it said that all infections had been removed! I thought that would be the end of that but I guess I was wrong....
The next day I'm "surfing the net" and again I see that I have 40 infections! Now, I worked in the computer department at Best Buy so I'm usually pretty good about avoiding infections but this time I must not have been very vigilant because I keep on doing something that is getting infections on my machine. I'm definitely gumming up the works.
So, I again had to pay 29.95 to get my infections removed (The windows antivirus people let you do this as many times as you want, they don't only let you remove infections 1 time a year like the people at Norton or McAfee for example) and again my infections were removed.
Wouldn't you know it? The next day when I'm using my Friendster account I again have 40 infections!!! I was definitely annoyed at this point because I only had about 750 free hours left on my AOL account.
Well, I figured to heck with all this and I got a new computer. I knew which one to get since I'm an expert at the computer section in Best Buy and I made sure to ask Geek Squad which computer to buy that wouldn't get infections. The Geek Squad person said the one I got had Vista so it wouldn't get sick on me.
A week went by and I was sure that I had a computer that would never again get another infection but then out of the blue the system scan again tells me I have 40 infections! So I pay my 29.95 to remove them but stupid Vista is telling me something like, "this program isn't certified, are you sure you want to run, blah, blah blah blah...." I go ahead and tell Vista to run it because I'm like "well duh! I need to get rid of these infections! Then stupid NORTON asks me if I'm sure I want to remove the infections! I'm pretty sure it was telling me Antivirus 2009 wasn't safe because it was jealous that it didn't detect my infections.
So, for the moment I'm infection free but I'm wondering how to avoid infections when "surfing the net" in the future because paying 30 bucks every other day is starting the get expensive!!
Any Help here would be great, thanks!
