[UgaBYTES] Technical Problem

Fri Dec 5 06:51:45 GMT 2008

Eddie and All,

Companies that provide free anti-virus solutions do so to promote their
commercial version of the same solution. It's free because it has very
minimal functionality and no support. They want you to see the basics of the
solution and then purchase the fully functional and supported edition.

Having said that, we're accredited resellers for Kaspersky anti-virus whose
Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 has all the protection that one needs on
any computer whether on internet or not. These include anti-virus,
anti-spam, spyware protection, content filter, firewall etc. Kaspersky is
rated among the best; actually the best.

We would like to help all of you acquire genuine and licensed copies of
Kaspersky at a reduced price. However, for a better argument and negotiation
with Kaspersky HQs for this price, we would need a good number of licenses
not below 100. If the order is combined, then everyone pays less for their
license(s).

If you think this is viable, we'll be willing to help.

Eddie,

If its malware then it will not survive this Adware SE scanner, download it
here,

http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2008/3000-8022_4-10045910.html

Added Nov 2008, it is the newest version available. Problem is it may be too
heavy for your internet connection. 

Also try to be careful about the sites that you browse on your computer.
Keep us updated on your progress.

Best of luck, john

Hello Eddie and All,

I suspect this to be spyware. One challenging bit we are having though is
running FREE anti virus which have some limitation is the protection. One
would wonder why my computer attacked by a virus yet I am protected with a
up to date anti virus. These free ware anti viruses we are running have
certain protection they cant destroy and those go ahead to damage our
computer.  It may be expensive to purchase a complete one but I think it's
worth getting one.

Having said the above, I would suggest, you take the following measures;

   - Check if you have anti virus installed on your computer.
   - Check that it's up to date. By this I mean updated. Usually when
it's
   out dated, you will see a RED sign against it in the task bar.
   - If the above are ok, disconnect your computer off the network by
   removing the network cable and do a complete scanning of your computer.

I hope this will help you.

:) Linux is still the solution for some protection. The modern releases of
linux are 100% user friendly but folks still have that worst memories of the
old day Linux. I think this is worth trying in your centers maybe having one
or two computers running Linux. That's my suggestion.

Best,
Ahmed
