What do you do when you have a virus?
Scream and run around?
Cry because you think you've lost everything?
Realise there is bigger sh*t in the world?
Or figure a way to fix it?
What anti-shitware do you use?
[shitware = virus, trojan, adware, spyware, malware etc].
I use:
Malwarebytes.
Microsoft Security Essentials.
CCleaner.
AdwCleaner.

Buy a new computer.
(j/k, I will use Anvira or Kaspersky)
•
Norton 360
Malware Bytes
I formerly used McAfee but had some stuff sneak by...never a problem with Norton...

I have Avast installed and use CCleaner and some other programmes. I did get a virus recently that changed my search engine for some completely unknown one as well as disabling AdBlock. I called in my IT expert who I have known literally since he was a baby, and it cost him three hours work to fix things. For small things he can work remotely via TeamViewer.
I've had both McAfee and Norton in the past and hated both of them. They both slowed down my compouter to an irritating level. I'm one of those suspicious people who believes that a lot of viruses are invented by anti-virus companies to make you upgrade.....................at a cost.

I'd probably have a fit. I'd throw my laptop on the ground and stamp on it, shattering it to pieces. Computers fucking up can be scary. Of course, it was scarier when I was younger.

Actually, my first thought was to drink lots of liquids and suffer.
As for the computer sort of virus, I now use Avast and have not had any problems. McAfee and Norton do indeed truly suck.
I bid NO Trump!
