Yep . . . I was working along … suddenly . . . out of nowhere my computer pops up a large screen saying, “Your computer is at risk. You have a Virus and you must delete it or your computer will cease to work.”
SAY WHAT?? “Scan your computer here . . . and locate/search for viruses.” Well of course I did. THEN . . . ”Download this program to REMOVE the viruses found. Ah – ha . . . for $99.90 I can be virus free.
OH NO - - I AM NOT THAT STUPID! Believe me . . . I was literally scared. It locked up my computer tighter than a virgin in a convent. Sooooo I called around to my ‘friends’ with the desperate shout of HELP!!! First my son-in-law and then a friend, Murph, walked me through some steps . . . but each one was replaced by a firm shut-down and replaced by the Windows Daily Advisor screen.
Murph suggested I ‘right click’ and see if it would let me ‘close’ . . . and periodically I could. The thing is this virus refused to let me onto the Internet! Yep, no possible way did it want me to access anything but them. It un-protected my computer, disabling my Microsoft Essentials protection program also!
With patience (big word for me) I continued my ‘right click – close’ … shut-down, etc. until I was able to plug into internet… researched “how to remove Windows Daily Advisor” and it told me about Spyhunter. I took time to research this program and seeing it was endorsed by
I decided it was safe to download the scan. Which I did . . . then it asked if I wanted to purchase the ‘removal program’ for $40. WELL … since it found 12 instances of viruses, duh… yes…I needed to purchase this program.I considered my options . . . $40 for Spyhunter . . . or $300 or more for a professional to come to my house or me take it to them to ‘clean’ my computer. There was also that possibility that Spyhunter couldn’t remove the virus and the $$ was a loss. I took the chance. One hour later… finally my computer was free. It then suggested I turn on my Microsoft Essentials program. I did… and it turned ‘green’…. WOW … my computer is virus free!
This was a heralding experience. One I don’t care to ever repeat. That is why I decided to share it with you. I’m not promoting this product…but I will share it with you, since it worked for me. There are other products out there that do remove viruses . . . thank God this one worked and I’m now a virus free woman!
