My Security Shield….yet another bad guy?

I hit the big 10,000.

No, not winning lottery tickets or years old.

I had 10,000 emails in my inbox. I have no idea how it grew to be so big.  G-mail gives you a huge mailbox for free so it’s easy to forget to open mail that looks lame.

I’ve been busy deleting stuff- 50 at a time.

I found this in the archive;

And the Malware Threats Continue…

This time it was My Security Shield. UURRGGHHH…

Yes, I know you’re asking….“is she still dropping entrecards?”. The answer of course is yes I am. I really enjoy the friends that I have made and visiting their blogs. Which is why, I use Malwarebytes. There is a free version which is very useful. I ran it twice and it kicked MSS’s butt. I needed to restart my computer of course.

The upgraded version will protect you in realtime and update on it’s own. I’m thinking about upgrading for $22.45. CNET loves this product.

I’m not getting a cent for this. I’m just telling you that this thing zapped the latest “My Security Shield” which seems to be the latest threat.  I also ran my McAfee which did not detect this but, did detect other goodies.

FYI:
