That's why I love that the FixMeStick makes it so easy to have that separate boot disk AND an awesome scan tool that is so easy to use.MetallmanXhttp://www.metallman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649873865364135464.post-10560968446901060192012-10-30T04:48:58.251-07:002012-10-30T04:48:58.251-07:00I have before.

I don't know if it's the worst virus but it has this feature that it has the original files then make a fake copy one then when you click it (the copied one) it multiplies and you have no choice other than formatting your device because it sticks to the device whether you scan and clean it.Christian Ampoloquiohttp://twitter.com/spikeyLokinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649873865364135464.post-61003458354446501042012-10-29T23:45:27.914-07:002012-10-29T23:45:27.914-07:00The worst infection I have seen was a neighbors co...The worst infection I have seen was a neighbors computer a couple of months ago that had over a dozen individual pieces of malware on it.
