fitmic Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 I have McAfee security center, and adAware and all that $hit. Still I've gotten this errorsafe junk. How do I get rid of it?

ryyannon Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 How did this piece of [censored] find its way onto my iMac? Never had anything like this in six years surfing the Net. Would mail-bombs work in taking the ErrorSafe site down?

Dani Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I write this issue in other part of the forum..Lol people say my pc is doing it,that is BS. Its on this site it uploads to your computer from this site. Use spy boot and it will be gone
Pugwash Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I write this issue in other part of the forum..Lol people say my pc is doing it,that is BS. I think you don't fundamentally understand how spyware and trojans work. Firstly, you have to install them, one way or another. Secondly, once they're installed, everything bad is happening on your computer, the spyware just pretends it's on the internet. Here's how it is: You installed something and it's giving you problems. Trying to blame this site doesn't help you get to the root of the problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errorsafe
Admin Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 @Dani Like Pugwash says, you have not gotten this from this site. Spyware and/or trojans has to be installed on your computer. So it is indeed your PC doing this and it is not BS. The reason your computer is doing it is because it has this software installed and most likely you did not even know that you had this software installed. That's why it's called a trojan; because it sneaks in with another program so that you don't notice it

You see more people say this.
dluddy Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I'm getting it now and only on RWG as well. PC-Cillin Security warning about adserving.cpxinteractiv
Pugwash Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I'm getting it now and only on RWG as well. PC-Cillin Security warning about adserving.cpxinteractiv Ok, the only linked sites here, visible through adblock or even curl, are googlesyndication, extreme-dm and adbrite. If you're getting adserving.cpxinteractive.com, you're infected.
jfreeman420 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I use AVG antivirus and IMO it is better than macafee or norton and is freeware!!! Get it here: AVG This will find all the trojans and delete them. Careful though, some trojans latch onto programs like IE and once you remove them the program is no longer usable. My boss had 72 trojans and his computer wouldn't start. Finally got into windows, removed trojans and nothing worked. had to reformat and lost all his data. Updated Virus protection is very important.
KB Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I use AVG too it's good but not quite as good as you say, I have often had to use other spyware/malware programs to clear trojans or other virus that have slipped through. Ken
jfreeman420 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 The reason I like AVG so much is: 1. It uses a lot less resources than others 2. norton and macafee can never seem to delete the viruses completely. Nothing is perfect.
OnkleFester Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) There is no spyware at all in this forum. I have several programs including Spyblaster and have never had one shred of a problem. Give SpyBot a shot but make sure you update regularly as a matter of course. Adaware is also very good. These two should get rid of that crap. In this day and age you can't have too much protection against the evils of spyware. Fortunately for us the best is still free.
