[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]The other day I was surfing the web looking for deals that might be of interest to BFS. Unfortunately I got bit by an Adware, spyware [or whatever] virus. It took over my home page, changed my tool bar and constantly gave Alerts that I might be infected by this or that bug. Duh they were the bug. As these alerts appeared one was advised to click onto their site and download an anti-virus program. Naturally for a fee. I hunted on-line for a solution of which none of them worked. It wasn’t something that I could normally delete, so I explored my Registry. Nada. Contacted my IP and was advise that for $69 they could help me get rid of this infection. Yea what a bandaid & iodine? So back to the internet where I finally found a great free program called SUPERAntiSpyware. Worked like a charm. No more nasty alerts and I have my home page back without “[#ff0000]Security Toolbar 7.1”[/#ff0000] cluttering up my tool bar.![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
