Removing Bad Computer Things

By on December 10th, 2007 in Just Saying ...

Did you ever have anyone ask you how to get rid of that spyware or worse on their computer? I have, and have given it a try. It’s not easy. though.

I have a system in my lab at the office that was infected with a mild case of spyware/adware, and perhaps a virus or two. As an experiment, I tried to clean all the nasty malware off of the computer. I spent over 20 hours on it (although a lot of that time was waiting for programs to scan the entire hard disk).

But it can be done. It takes a bit of patience and a lot of time. More over on the Security Dawg site.

In the meantime, some Javascript work on a way to reduce “form spamming”. And then a bit of holiday shopping tonight.

Along with watching another episode of “Dirty Jobs”.
