Worst day ever!

Ok, maybe not ever, but surely one of the worst days as far as time WASTED was the day I got the Antivir Solution Plus Virus… say what?
Yeah that virus is wicked! And my own fault. It comes in looking like a regular Windows Update (down by your clock) it says “Hey you need to update” (or something more pressing in nature) and so you’re “shoot I better update its been a while” Once you do… all hell breaks loose!
I blame myself, I should know better, but it looked so convincing, so much like the regular Windows Update, but something was a bit off. Best advice, confirm the identity of confirmation and installation boxes. Of course once you’ve gotten to the point where its asking you that, its already pretty deep in your system.
Once that nightmare has shown up your day could be ruined. It took me a long time to get my system pretty clean of that disaster.
Remember the internet is a dangerous place, there nothing out there for FREE, don’t give your personal information to someone you don’t know (including and especially a site for a free iPad!) and of course, know before you click!
That said, if you are having the worst day ever, here is my guide to getting rid of the Antivir Virus, and it should work for many other viruses, trojans, spyware, etc. http://www.styrofoamsoup.com/tech/uninstall-or-remove-the-antivir-solution-pro-virus/
