No computer is 100% full proof, even iMAC.

I had a similar problem last year when my son decided to have fun with google searches...thought i would have to scrap my whole computer until i found a great anti spyware/virus program called Stopzilla. I paid for it and downloaded the product. It found 311 viruses/spyware on my computer then took care of it for me.

Also, if you think Ebay has problems....FACEBOOK has more viruses than anything out there. Stopzilla has caught 4-5 for me in the past 2 months and all i did was click on a friends pics they posted.

good Luck

It's not the computer, it's the OS.

As FUBAR stated, if you want to stop all this, get a Mac.

Todd-

This happened to me about 1 month ago while using photobucket. I am completely safe, have Norton antivirus always activated, have a back-up virus program, and both incoming and outgoing firewalls. Well, somehow, something got through all of this. I forget the exact "virus" I got but it was EXACTLY as you describe - kept taking over and trying to get me to purchase a software program to kill the virus. After a day of troubleshooting with Norton and my other antivirus provider, the virus actually caused my computer to crash by modifying certain files. I had to reformat the computer to get it to work again. However, the next day, I ordered a Macbook Pro. I'm done with PC's forever....

I've only ever used a MAC. What's a PC?
