“Destroying malware… one byte at a time” –Malwarebytes tagline<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s some pretty insidious malware going around these days.\u00a0 One of the most evil is an infection that mimics a virus protection program and won’t let you do anything until you “activate” their software.\u00a0 Come to think of it… doesn’t it completely stink that we all pay for these virus protection programs, and still spyware, adware and viruses make it through?\u00a0 Those people have to try harder.<\/p>\n

The good people at www.malwarebytes.org<\/a> are here to help.\u00a0 I had an older Windows PC that was infected by Internet Security 2010 <\/a>recently.\u00a0 My good friend Mr. Nixon told me he had seen it as well, and the freeware from Malwarebytes took it off in about 5 seconds.\u00a0 I downloaded the program and lo and behold, the infection was gone and the computer was mine again.<\/p>\n

So… a tip of the linking hat to the crew at malwarebytes.org<\/a>, and most deserved Product of the Day kudos.\u00a0 Dear readers, be sure to try their freeware… download it before it is too late!\u00a0 And while you are at it, try buying some stuff from them too.\u00a0 We need good people like them on our side to fight these scams.\u00a0 I’m off to shop at their site right now.<\/p>\n
