After recently geting my browser attacked by some sort of
cool web search and trying to get rid of it I found it
very hard to kill It woulkd not let me access Mcaffe web
site downloads, changed registry values that shut down
virus controlls,spy bot, ad aware, coolweb shreader,
hijack this, Everything I could think of Finally wasting
so much time I wiped my hard drive,reinstalled windows,And
it got me again before I had time to download mcaffe again!
(online purchase) so I bought the cd and Installed first
but still had to sign on via internet, Blasted again!
finaly was able to do it fast enough on 3rd try. This
varmint is good.Any more help on this subject would be
appreceiated.Mcaffe shows 26 blocked events in one hour!
