who knows computers?, need help Options

And people recently started making viruses for MAC's and apple was sh*tting bricks because they had nothing to combat it.


Good job, Apple!





Oh wait, just kidding. You fail.

orrr i hate saying it but buy a "mac" or system with linux

Macs suck rocks. They are made for people that refuse to learn, and want it done easy for them. The possibilities with a PC is endless, and cheaper.

All in all, Linux does own all. If only it could run DirectX well it would be on my full time system. For now it runs my virtual servers =)

grr... i'm about to give up and just back up my files and do a full restore....

[rave2n]

Restore doesn't always fix it. Refer to earlier post, and do that. It will fix it.

Honestly, I understand computers very well. I always provide options. Been doing this thing my whole life in fact i work for the feds.

These are your options.
#1 You can run spybot and adaware after installing it, run in normal or safe mode. and also run AVG in both. whatever works. If it fixes it thats that.
if it doesnt
#2 back up your files and restore your OS using the restore disk (not system restore) < if u use this you still wouldn't know if you restored it back to a time when it already had it. The farther you go back you lose track of what configurations were done at those points.
#3 Based on #2 just restore it using the manufacturer restore disk or if you are advanced from scratch if you dont have the disks or restore partition. Then just paste back the files that you previously backed up and thats that. The reason why I chose 3 is based off of 1 and 2 failing and this way for sure you don't have to waste your time realizing there is virus or spyware residue. You don't have to worry about it because you reformatted it.

Just let me know if you dont understand anything I said, in fact im dealing with 3 virus corrupted computers right now.

Just download a boot legged copy of AVG Security suite version 8.0 and above. It usually comes with all the features u need such as spyware and anti-virus. Those free programs such as spybot and ad-aware actually don't do **** and just take up space. If you don't believe me, run spybot and then adaware or vice versa. They both find stuff the other one missed and its a never ending loop hole.

Macs suck end of story, It was an OS made for people with webbed hands who didn't know how to right click.
