An XP Antivirus Horror Story
These programs are hideous! I had an XP antivirus infection once, and I thought I was going to have to scrap my computer! Well, actually, I thought I was going to have to reinstall Windows, which is almost as bad.
I had the top-shelf free antivirus programs, so I knew there was something wrong when a program I didn’t recognize told me I was infected. I’d heard of these kinds of viruses, so I unplugged my network connection, logged into safe mode, and ran my antivirus program.
It didn’t work. It didn’t even find it. But I knew it was there. I ended up having to send it in to a Technician, which cost me about $200. If only I had an antivirus program that could handle it then.
