FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives

First, I want to thank all that responded trying to assist me with my problem. I have posted questions and comments here many times before and I find the participants of this forum to be very helpful people. Thank you!
Unfortunately, I am still having major problems and none of the programs are correcting the problem fully. I am afraid I am going to have to call the GeekSquad.com to come in and work on it! :)
MajorGeeks.com is an AMAZING site but I do not have the time nor the computer knowledge to be brave enough to try and wade through the solutions that suggest to remove the problem.
I am now...
-getting pop-ups and HUGELY annoying pop-unders in my system tray warning me that I am infected with viruses but in reality, if I click on it, it will redirect me to a site that I think is downloading more unwanted programs (site is below),
-getting reinfected with Smitfraud-C program,
-still being redirected (even though my MS IE browser is defaulted to mail.yahoo.com) to....
[*DO NOT USE THIS LINK! www.yoursystemupdate.com *DO NOT USE THIS LINK!] NOTE: Just typing the link here to see if any techies have another solution to stop redirect!
This is where I believe I am getting reinfected (although I am not clicking on any of the links),
-getting a message from my Norton Antiviral program on restart that it is not accepting any updates (can't for the life of me figure out what has been done to get this message nor how to fix it! :( What a pain!
Whatever you all do, protect your computer ESPECIALLY if you have kids! Majorgeek has a lot of free programs to download that will assist with scans for all unwanted trojans, viruses, adware, etc....
I cannot believe what a headache this has become! However, thanks again for all those that tried to assist me with my problems...you guys are great!

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
