Hi, I went though an evening of struggling with viruses that took over two computers.  I've removed everything and am back to normal almost. I have some kind of virus I am not able to identify and have no idea how to search for a fix. What is happening, is on occasion, when searching

Check your proxy settings (through Internet Options) and installed BHOs if you're using IE. Also, you still have a virus. Try MBAM. On Jan 25, 2011, at 12:29 PM, keith smith wrote: Hi, I went though an evening of struggling with viruses that took over two computers. I've removed

SMTP proxy for masking credit card numbers

2011-01-25 Thread Hunter Kreie
