Spam and virus'
So, yea I have to rant first before the story.... because I'm pissed. And I can only be pissed, because I now am safe and not worried.
I want to stab every virus and spyware creator over and over and over again until they can no longer move, but not yet to the point of death... so i can then piss on their face.... Ok now story time that i've stated that. I am in the process of switching from Ohio State to OU. In doing that I am at Columbus State for a quarter. So i've been there since september. Well, i bring my laptop there to do work... but the wireless internet system is very strict and you have to have security definitions extremely up to date. About last week, there was an update error, so i could no longer access the internet. About this past weekend I noticed that everytime I was on this site passing time and I loaded a new page, a spam ad popped up. And TWF seemed to be the only site doing it. So I turned up my popup blocker and ran a spyware search. But it started happening more and more frequently, and started happening outside of this site. So today it got extremely bad and the computer started doing funny things. Something had turned off my FIREWALL!!! I am kidding you not... in a matter of a half an hour my computer had become so infected with new virus' and spyware that completing normal tasks became an arduous task. In a last ditch effort I deleted my AVG and downloaded the new AVG and ran it as basically everything was disappearing off of my desktop. I turned the computer off and back on... and the new AVG has locked down every trojan and virus... and everything was back. I am so relieved.... because in the crazyness of the whole thing I came to the realization that I might lose everything on my computer that I have saved over 3 years. Thousands of music files alone... I never have, but I might have to invest some money in a hard drive to backups on.... But to my question... Has anybody ever had problems with crap coming from this website???
