I just ran my Malware Bytes and my computer is clean. I've been on TOTV daily.

It is good advice to clear ones cache in the event what users are fighting with is tied to their cookies.

Spyware Blaster
Was given to me by a NT guy that used to be Gateways top on line service tech.
Now a head trainer for BMW of North America Majorgeeks has it for free ware. It works in the background you never know what it is doing. Stealth. This is sometimes a problem because unless you make yourself a reminder you forget to maual update. As my Mac sales tech said what are you going to do with the extra hour or so of not maintaining Windows on all your computers at home Herv |

I use Firefox 7.01, Windows XP, Microsoft Essentials, Malwarebytes, Spybot, Ccleaner and Advance System Care.
I use multiple cleaners as there is no one that gets it all. Even after using Malwarebytes when I run Advance System care it always finds some things to fix/remove. btk PS I was using Firefox 4.0 and just upgraded today to 7.01 |

There are way too many incidents here to be a mere coincidence. Along with a couple of other posters, I, too can add dates, times, attacking computer URL, and attacking name of website. I now have a total of 7 and they are all different. If the Administrator would take all of this info and refer it to a professional computer security person, they might be able to tie this together to come up with a solution. Not sure enough is being done to resolve the issue.

I have been using Norton Internet Security for some time and it automatically scans several times a day and removes "tracking cookies" as routine cleaning. If you do not have a program installed that will do this for you, you can follow these instructions to do it yourself:
Delete cookies in Internet Explorer 8 1.Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Internet Explorer. 2.Click the Safety button, and then click Delete Browsing History. 3.Select the check box next to Cookies. 4.Select the Preserve Favorites website data check box if you do not want to delete the cookies associated with websites in your Favorites list. 5.Click Delete. In Google Chrome follow these directions: Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar. Select Tools. Select Clear browsing data. In the dialog that appears, select the checkboxes for the types of information that you want to remove. Use the menu at the top to select the amount of data that you want to delete. Select beginning of time to delete everything. Click Clear browsing data.

I've been pretty secure in my opinion that my computer hasn't been compromised in any way. After reading all of these posts about being attacked time after time I decided to use the "Microsoft Live Security Essentials" program that has been on my system since the day it was released to do a full scan. This takes quite some time as over 1,000,000 items were scanned. I was feeling left out because my computer hadn't caught some nasty virus, malware, spyware, worm or trojan horse. Guess, what? Nothing was there. So, following the example of others, I downloaded Malwarebytes and did another full scan - nothing. Then I download something with the word "Spy" and "Pro in it and did the full scan - nothing. I guess I'm clean. I've uninstalled the Malware and Spyware and am now depending totally, as I have been doing for years, on the FREE solution software "Microsoft Live Security Essentials."
Now I'm feeling smugly secure! My mama always told me to be careful who I hung out with and where I went to meet friends! I declare that TOTV is on-limits. Xavier

Coincidence??
My computer went down on 12/16, and TOTV is one of the few sites that I frequent. Staples charged $127 to bring it back to life, including a year of Norton. Coincidence??

I keep seeing an ad on TV for mycleanpc.com. Does anyone use it?

Bare... A quick google search produced a lot of negative reviews and "beware" so I would say stay away from it.

I have had malware ride in on some very innocent applications over time. But haven't had the problem that you are all discussing from this site...yet.
And heavens knows I am on here a LOT.
