Mozilla Firefox

One day I logged on to find that my browser was literally hijacked by this insidious virus which comes disguised as a security alert. Here’s how it works, you are browsing the web using Mozilla Firefox or opening an email sent to you from someone you think is a friend. When you open the attached Powerpoint which usually has a very mundane and safe theme, like “Songs of Springtime” or “World’s Most Beautiful Sunsets” or some other such drivel, the actual file you download will carry the virus straight into your computer, where it will then block you from controlling your browser. Every time you try to open a new browser window you will get this security alert telling you that you need to “click here to download” their “free” antivirus software. Vancouver Flower Delivery to most countries with no problem by way of Local Street. When you click on this, it either totally crashes your computer, or just will continue giving you pop-up windows. Not even the top rated antivirus programs in the world will help you with these and I know that for a fact because I tried them and they failed, especially Norton.

There is an alternative to these so-called top rated antivirus software programs that has given me great results. It is called Combofix and you can find it by googling the name and downloading the program. Since your browser is hijacked, you will have to download it from another computer and put it on a flash drive. Firstly, it’s at all times a good suggestion to attempt to match the Flower Delivery Vancouver specifically to the person. Insert the flash into your computer’s USB input and use the program to clean your computer. It will take a while and you may have to run it twice, but it really works and a lot better than the top rated antivirus programs out there on the market. Best of all it is totally free.
