You guys are not going to believe this one. Last night my wife was having some issues with her computer and because the antivirus warning kept coming up. So she goes and downloads AVG, I think is the one she grabbed. Well this morning it tells her to restart the computer and half the Windows boot files won't load and it won't boot from the CDROM. So in the past 6 months I have had her computer down and out twice.
What makes it a little funnier is that when I looked at the warning bubble that kept popping up on her I told her right away that was one of those spyware that gets in and tells you that there is an issue when all they did was slap some spyware into your system so you'll buy the software to remove it. So now I'm in the process of getting what files I can off of the drive and wiping the drive clean. She hasn't had a complete system wipe ever and she's had that computer going on 3 years I think.
Just thought I would relay a funny story.
