McAfee Anti Virus Strikes Again

Now that all is back to normal with my computer and the potantial disaster averted I feel compelled to briefly share my experience.

Up until yesterday I was using McAfee Anti Virus provided by my Internet provider as part of their package. About 10 days ago my machine was infected by a rather nasty browser highjacker that slipped thru McAfee somehow. Took a couple of hours to remove that and get things back in order using several 3rd party scanners.

I thought that was an isolated incident until I was infected 2 days ago by a very aggressive virus named MS Anti Virus 2009. McAfee failed to protect my system but only this time I nearly lost everything. This virus took over complete control of my machine. The more I tried to remove it the worse the situation got.

Thankfully I had a 2nd computer handy that allowed me to research exactly what I was dealing with and how to go about removing it. After 12 hours of trying every remedy I could find I finally was able to remove the proper registry files containing the offending virus.

As soon as I was back up and running I removed my McAfee and installed the free home version of Avast. All is running fine now and the protection seems to be at a higher level that provided by McAfee.

Not sure if this infiormation will help anyone reading but I feel better now that I have shared it.

12/4/08 - I just found a new website builder package that is very slick indeed…

What is BlinkWeb all about?
As we all know, creating a website and displaying on the internet for the world to see, is a very complicated process for the average person. The website creation process was not designed for the average, every-day person. It was designed for people that have a knack for, and understanding of geeky computer programming languages. The end result, the average, every-day person is either stuck with a very poorly designed, boring website… OR no website at all.

Enter BlinkWeb…

We saw a great need to bridge the giant gap between the average person and the knowledge needed to create an attractive website, a website you can be proud of. So… we created BlinkWeb, the world’s easiest website creation tool. Not only that, but we made it free. Now, the average, every-day person can easily create a professional/pretty looking website they can proudly show off to their friends.

BlinkWeb lets you build your own website or blog “in the blink of an eye”. Enjoy!
