I had 2 Kak's slip through security last week and 5 more got "caught" this week and were deleted automatically. I had installed the patch but not sure if I did it before or after the infection. I e-mailed the company asking how to delete the Kak's and they sent me instructions, some of which I could follow. A friend helped me finish "it" off. I am certainly learning about computers whether I want to or not
My question for the "smart one's" is WHY does Explorer seem to be infected so much more than other programs. Is it the way the programs are written or are they being targeted...just curious....
