I got rid of it. I did a system restore to yesterday. I then ran a scan, it found 3 things and got rid of them.

I gather this color coded thing won't work with Flock, right? Who cares. If it works on Mozilla, I'll do it.

I won't tell Alan.

lol lol lol

THANK YOU!!!

One other time they didn't get all of the computer cleaned for you and it came back - if I recall correctly...

there's a lot of steps & details from what I've been reading to remove this thing..I don't know if I would have the patience to do it, but I have system backups.
I'd just reformat and install fresh then put my documents back from the clean back up file.

I think call Verizon again and tell them it came back for some reason...and could they try to remove it again...

You still have the Verizon AV right - it just isn't stopping this thing??
might ask them why..

but don't do any searches to look for how to remove guides because I did and many of them are showing as bad websites on my WOT. I got blocked screens a couple of times.. and I'm on my old laptop that uses a Linux OS so less chance of infection because it is not windows...

here's a safe site with some info about removals

Jo:

Do me a favor and explain how I use this tool. I downloaded it. It's installed. It says it's color coded and green is good, yellow is cautious, and red is forbidden.

So what happens when Alan clicks on something in his favorite places (that's how he goes to his sites, they are all in his favorite places). Will they come up and have a color?

This is where I get confused.

thanks much.

Melody

oh cool good job.

I think you can get WOT for flock too, just do it from the tools section on flock and look for add ons click it then search for WOT.

or here
https://extensions.flock.com/

No NOT cool lol, I have no idea how to use this.

I went to Mozilla, went to google, typed in anything I wanted information on, all the links came up, most were green and some were red (the round circle next to the link).

So I understand THAT part of it.

But what happens when Alan goes to his favorite places and clicks on one of his links. What if they are the ones that have viruses.

How does this WOT thing work then?

Thanks

A WOT colored Icon will show up near your location bar when you go to a site or bookmarked site.

if you do a search and get a list of results - then the Wot colored icons will show up after each link or site listed showing if OK, caution or bad.

If site is really bad a black screen with a big warning message comes up.

alright - here's a video about how it looks

WOW, I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD.

I am thrilled. I went to Alan's favorites and when I clicked on some, there was a color and when I put my mouse over it it said UNSATISFACTORY.

I tried ebay and others and they were just fine.

So....I now know how to use WOT,

AND I LOVE YOU!!!

DH and all kids have strict instructions that ANY pop up that claims ANY bad condition is to be left in place, and find me. Do not under any circumstances click on it, even if it looks legit.

I use superantispyware.com FREE edition to get rid of those little suckers quickly if I land in trouble. They really do look quite real.

Im glad you are all healed.

I have had Superprofessional anti-spyware for YEARS. I paid $14.00 for a lifetime subscription after the first year. I have had really no problems.

I also have malwarebytes and my favorite, Verizon Internet Security Suite powered by McAfee (whatever that means). lol
