Gadgets Gizmos Gossip

I have very limitted knowledge about what it takes to repair a computer. I know how to use them, certainly, but I don’t know a lot about how they tick or how to take care of them. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that not taking care of your PC and having upfront protection instead of a free client will get you into trouble, Bamm I was hit with the Worm win32 trojan.”

Before I was attacked, I thought worms only lived in the ground or the ocean. Of course, a Worm Win32 isn’t a worm like that, it’s a malicious computer program that burrows into a computer and starts making trouble. This win32 worm got in from an e-mail attachment. Many people don't know this, but it is possible to make software that will open and run automatically when it arrives in a Microsoft Outlook inbox. Of course this does not happen every time you open attachments or install a video codec but as soon as it got into my computer it just took over.  A Great site to check that has some removal guides on it is this win32 b site.

I immediately noticed a slowdown in my computer’s speed, and I noticed that a lot of the time the computer would do things I didn’t tell it to do, or would ignore my commands. All my contacts in Outlook got an e-mail from me that I did not send about a joke that had a fake install link in it, They were very mad and I was so embarrassed. It was like my computer was posessed! I called my works IT department from my home and the guy said I was for sure infected. Right away he told me I was definetly infected and that I should have it rmoves ASAP.  He suggested just having this computer repair company remove the virus for me.He told me they guarantee thier work and they were very cheap compared to hiring out someone.This company actually cna remote into your computer with you just making a few clicks and they get right to work, it's like having a tech right there in your home.  They did remove my worm win32 but little did I know there were about 102 other traces of things.  One was Called Virtumonde and another was Zlob.bq or something wired like that.

This botnet is run by mysterious persons who apparently have ill intentions, and they use it to take control of large numbers of computers and then conduct electronic warfare on their enemies by clogging servers. Luckily, the above mentioned remote PC repair company was able to find the Storm Worm, one of the Worm Win32 variety, and they eliminated the threat.

Now I know better than to open attachments I’ve got complete protection and the best help available!  It’s not always easy to understand computer related issues and if you’re a bit of a tech challenged person like me then it’s great to have help when it’s needed.
