Malwarebytes (the first one) is absolutely <br>amazing as far as cleaning up goes.<br>AVG is the best virus protection possible. i recommend getting both and running both even if you have another virus program.<br>The 3rd link is to Mozilla where you can download the Firefox<br>browser. i recommend you get Firefox after you run Malwarebytes and AVG. <br>These will take some time to run (hours) but it may well be
worth it. <br></span></font></span><br><a href="http://www.malwarebytes.org/">http://www.malwarebytes.org/</a><br><br><style></style><a href="http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage">http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage</a><br><br><a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/">http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/</a><br><br><br><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 191);" size="4"><span style="font-family: bookman old style,new york,times,serif;">linda</span></font><br><br><br><img src="http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/39.gif"><br>--- On <b>Tue, 2/2/10, Darlene Casteel <i><darlene@thecasteels.net></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Darlene Casteel <darlene@thecasteels.net><br>Subject: Re: [or-roots] Computer crash's<br>To: "or-roots mail list" <or-roots@listsmart.osl.state.or.us><br>Date: Tuesday, February 2, 2010, 5:38 PM<br><br><div id="yiv1132711602">

<div><br></div>When I downloaded IE8 the other night It came with a Program
called Virus soft from Microsoft's download site, the Virus Soft program told
me all my programs on my computer were infected with a trojan virus and wanted
me to download their Virus Soft program, which installed with automatic
updates, but to active I had to pay $60.00, I could not open any of my
programs or even get into the internet, It would not let me uninstall it or
remove it, as I said I had to do a full restore of my computer to get my
computer back and I still to not have everything back to normal.<br>I sent an
Email to microsoft and they will not even reply.<span style="font-size: 13px;"></span> <br><br>----- Original Message

crashed this morning, whatever you do, DO NOT upgrade to Internet Explorer 8,
