Lame Virus Excuse

And, we were out enjoying ourself yesterday (pix later, maybe) so lack of items appearing here shouldn't be entirely blamed on the damn thing, which may take yrs. to resolve. (Thanks for the encouragement, "Ron in Milwaukee.") Besides, it's August. Why shouldn't we take a well-deserved vacation? Employment, or lack thereof, has nothing to do w/ it.

Not a good sign: First place we visited for solutions indicated that the tool we'd need is Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, already installed in the devil box. We've run it twice, the first time it found more viral crap than Bill Gates' security thingie (which also claimed to have removed & quarantined all the nasty) & claimed to have removed them. The second time, even as the virus was popping-up at us, it didn't find anything. Though it seems as if Antivir hides after you've clicked "no, eat my fuck" about 50 times.

Big question: Why the fuck can't this be stopped? Per bleepingcomputer.com, the assholes behind this scam will take your money via credit card. Is there no fucking way to track these shits down for torture & mutilation? War in ah Babylon nothing, what's Obama doing about this terrorism?

I think I had this bug once. It took a number of attempts to clear it.

I'm pretty sure I had to clean out the registry, and also delete hidden files.
