Here's what happened to me this morning. I was surfing the net and went on to a dating site.
All of a sudden an anti-virus software program pops up and says that my computer is being infected etc. I was half asleep at the time
. Being the idiot that I am I stupidly agreed to download this malicious software.
My computer started going crazy with pop-ups. I called rogers tech support and they said that I shouldn't have agreed to download the malicious software. the rogers tech guy said that I should call a computer technician right away.
If I didn't call a technician right away then my computer would start running very slowly. I had to remove those trojans the rogers guy stated.
My tech friend who did my computer upgrade lives in Montreal and I'm in toronto so forget that idea.
I wound up calling this I.T solutions company out of the Toronto yellow pages. What the computer tech guy did was to remove traces of Malware and Trojans using Mallwarebytes and logging in safe mode and deleting files from system 32 and the registry.
He deleted this malicious program called Personal anti-virus software from my computer and reinstalled rogers anti-virus and configured the schedule.
Everything seems to be fixed now. I had to pay the guy $113 for the hour including transportation and taxes. Did I get ripped off? I called a couple of other computer repair places in the toronto yellow pages and they all wanted the same type of money.
I learned a valuable lesson from all of this. Before logging on to the internet I should have at least one cup of coffee so that I can wake the f*** up---lol. I feel like such an idiot. By pressing one wrong button I cost myself $113!
In all fairness to the tech guy I could never do what he did in a million years. This tech guy said that he had a computer science degree and was microsoft certified. He was going through my computer files so fast that it was making my head spin.
I don't think that I would have been capable of removing this malware on my own. Both the tech guy and the rogers guy said that I could have really screwed up my computer if I attempted to remove this malware on my own unless I really knew what I was doing? Which obviously I don't as I don't even know what the f*** system 32 is?
I guess they are both right? Sorry for the rant!
