Knowledge is becoming your own person!

Repost: ALL PLEASE READ

They are steadily coming out with more and more versions of this and I am finding that malwarebytes isn’t able to remove them all. I did see that ComboFix remove one that Malwarebytes could not but still not 100% if it is removed. In some cases I have had to reformat the Harddrive and reinstall Windows…I am tired of fixing these issues. Do not think that because you Symantec/Norton, McAfee, TrendMicro, etc installed that it will prevent this…they do not code for malware just viruses/trojans and unless this installs one they will not detect it!

PLEASE READ!

Don’t be a sucka!

If you are ever browsing the internet and BAM a pop up comes and says you pc is infected with hundreds of viruses and trojans! CLICK HERE to remove them!!! And you “Click Here” tisk…tisk

Guess what…your a SUCKA! You have fell prey to a new form of rogue security software call SCAREWARE! There are a ton of them out there, some of the most common ones are:

- Antivirus 2007
- Antivirus 2008
- Antivirus 2009
- Antivirus 2010
- Antivirus Pro 2009
- Anti Spyware 2009
- Antivirus 360
- Antivirus XP 2008
- MS Antivirus
- Virus Remover 2008
- Virus Remover 2009
- XP Antivirus
- XP AntiSpyware 2009
- MS Antivirus 2009
- SpyGaurd 2008

So now that you have been “SCARED” into clicking the link that is on the pop up telling you that you computer is infected, you are NOW infected. See when you clicked that link it installed that trojan to your pc. You will know if your pc is infected because ever 10 seconds it will notify you that your pc is infected and it will look like windows is telling you! Then when you follow the prompting to remove it takes you to a website that say Pay $30 - $50 to have it removed. If you have already paid I am sorry, you just paid the people who installed the trojan on your pc but DO NOT PAY THEM AGAIN!!!!

You might think…well I have McAfee or Symantec, so I am protected…Think AGAIN! First of all it is scareware and not actually considered a virus. In fact only some of these varients actually download viruses/trojans to your machine. Some are just trying to get your money and not your personal information. It might remove the trojans/virus installed but it will not remove the “software” that is annoying the mess out of you. Then after a few weeks you notice that either you cannot access the internet anymore, your virus program might stop working, or when you go to the internet you have no control of where you are going. That is that rogue piece of software at work.

So if you already have it installed, there is a program called Malwarebytes at www.malwarebytes.org that you can download to remove the “rogue software”. Now if you do not have internet connection you can try to reboot, and hit the F8 when the boot menu appears. (If windows starts to load you were to late) You can actually just keep hitting repeatedly if you would like…just prepare to hear a bunch of beeping. Now the next screen you will see is the Advanced Options Menu. Choose Boot to Safe Mode WITH NETWORKING! This will allow you to log in and hopefully be able to access the internet to download the software. If that doesn’t work then you will have to go to another computer that has internet access and download the program. Once you get it downloaded install it on the infected machine and run the update if it will let you. Once finished updating run the Quick Scan first and following to promptings to continue removing everything. It will probably require you to restart to finish removing the “rogue software”.

*NOTE* I cannot gaurentee you it is removing all of it, but it seems to work from what I have seen. These programs write to randomly generated file/folder names so it is hard for REAL antispyware/antivirus companies to writes the codes to remove millions of variations of the software.

If your pc is not infected and you see it pop up. The BEST way to ensure you do not accidently click anything strike and hold the following key sequence. CTRL+Shift+Esc. This will bring up the Windows Task Manager. Click on the applications tab. Highlight Ineternet Explorer (Blue “e”), Mozilla for you firefox users (The earth with a fox wrapped around it). Then Click End Task. It will shut down your Internet session but it will close the site that is trying to infect your pc. Make note of that site and DO NOT GO BACK TO IT. Remember when using google and other search engines, some of the links can be harmful to your computer. So try to stay with known sites.

Good Browsing to YA!

Venting a frustration!

This is just a rant so feel free to ignore!

I am blessed and very grateful of everything the Lord has blessed me with! I know that living in America alone has better living conditions than over half of the world and I am not complaining.

I do not mind paying taxes, I love using federal/state ran forests, interstates, etc!! What is driving me crazy is how someone can receive more back in taxes than they paid in…some who do not pay in anything are getting CRAZY returns back! I don’t get it? Makes as much sense to me as Walmart giving refunds for products customers never purchase!?!

God’s Mirror

Again I am posting Greg Laurie’s Daily Devotional but I felt like sharing it with everyone.
——————————————————————

Obviously, the law applies to those who it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guild before God.

Some people say, “Well, I don’t need Jesus Christ because I live by the Ten Commandments.”

My response to someone who said that would be, “Let’s start by asking if you can name the Ten Commandments.”

“Uh, thou shalt recycle?”

“No… . Have you broken any of them?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

Those who want to live by the law are in trouble, because the Bible says, “For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws” (James 2:10). God’s law was never given to make a person righteous; it is a moral mirror that shows us our true state before God, to drive us into the open arms of Jesus. The law says, “You are not good enough. You need God’s help.”

The Bible compares God’s law to a mirror. Mirrors are helpful, because they reveal truth to us. If you go out to lunch with your friends and don’t know why they seem to be laughing as you are talking, then they probably haven’t told you something that you need to know. When you go into the restroom, you realize that when you put your lipstick on in the dark that morning, you missed your lips. Your friends didn’t tell you the truth about yourself, but the mirror did. So God’s law was not given to make you righteous, but to show you that you have fallen short of it.

Romans 3:19 says, “Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God.” Everyone who has been exposed to the truth of God’s law will be held responsible.

To those who follow me…

I am not for sure how many people read my blog but was wanting to let everyone know I haven’t stopped blogging just I have been so busy working that I have not had time to blog. It will probably be late February until I am able to start blogging more regularly again. Hope everyone has a blessed day/week/month!!

Lying to God

Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him. — Matthew 26:49

The worst kind of sin is the kind committed by someone who doesn’t think he really is a sinner. It was Cicero who said, “Of all villainy, there is none more base than that of the hypocrite, who at the moment he is most false, takes care to appear most virtuous.”

Think for a moment about a garden-variety sinner. Then think of someone who attends church every week. Is it possible that a person in the church pew could be in worse shape than a garden-variety sinner? It is possible. Here’s how: If the person who is an unbeliever recognizes that fact, there is hope that one day he or she will come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit, turn from a sinful lifestyle, and believe in Jesus. But the person who attends church every week with no intention of responding to what he or she is hearing is actually a hypocrite.

It is better to just be what you are. It is better to say, “I am not into this. I don’t believe in this. I don’t care about this … ” than to pretend to be spiritual when you are not. God hates hypocrisy.

This doesn’t mean that you won’t be inconsistent at times. It doesn’t mean that you won’t fall short at times. We all have had moments of hypocrisy. But a hypocrite is someone who wears a mask, someone who pretends to be someone they really are not.

The hypocrite extraordinaire, if you will, was Judas Iscariot. When he betrayed Jesus, he did so with a kiss. He could have just pointed and said, “There is Jesus. My job is done.” But he kissed Him. At the moment when he appeared to be the most virtuous, he was the most sinful. And that is lying to God.
