Why do Computer Geniuses feel the pleasure in creating and infecting other peoples home personal computers? I recently had a fraudulent software called "winfixer2006" infect and invade my personal pc not too long ago. It popped up on my screen with the microsoft Windows XP security window saying that my computer has a blackworm trojan virus and winfixer can remove it by purchasing and downloading it for $39.95. Obviously it looked authentic due to the Dell and Microsoft icons, and the computer was behaving badly, so I entered my bank card information and home address and downloaded it. By the next morning, I had told my wife about it, and she immediately checked consumer reports to see if this winfixer was the real thing or not. It turned out to be a scam! Stupid Me! Fortunately i was able to remove the malware with Ad-Aware SE.

Why did you change the online security from Computer Associates to the horrible Norton ? Norton sucks !? I made the mistake of updating on my laptop and it ran terrible afterword, our office computer was also updated and hasn't worked right since. Fortunately our home desktop has not been updated to the stupid Norton and is still on the Computer Associated security and is working fine. A few years ago when we had Norton installed it also worked horribly. I think Norton needs to go back to their drawing board and revamp all their software!
