Thanks BullNBear ! I only ask because...
...I have always heard that it is best to go with only ONE AntiVirus program because of possible conflicts between them.
I AM using IE so maybe I'll just roll with the MSE thingie for a bit and see how it works out.
Goodbye AVG old friend...you have served me...uhh...okay !
Thanks again everyone !
okay...here's what I've done...
First, I followed tc's advice and updated Malwarebytes...then shutdown computer...then restarted in "safe mode"...then did the quick scan in Malwarebytes.
2 MORE infections were found and removed. In addition to the 3 that were found and removed last night...5 Total !
I then restarted...brought up Google to do a simple random search...first thing that popped in my head was Sunglasses...search page comes up and "Sunglass Hut" is at the top of the page...I click on it...I am promptly redirected to some bogus OTHER site...only after repeated failed tries does the Sunglass Hut website come up. So...problem not solved !
I then decided to download MSE (per BnB's reply)...but, before I do I decide to uninstall both AVG 9 and Malwarebytes...which I do. I then download MSE...do the updates...and run the quick scan. 1 more virus is found and removed...now the count is 6 ! I then restart and again bring up Google search...tried the sunglasses search again...clicked on the "Sunglass Hut" site. BINGO !!!
I'm back baby !!!
Have tried several others...knock on wood things seem to be okay !
Thanks everyone for all the help !
Quick question. Should I now stick with just the MSE thing and forget about AVG and Malwarebytes etc... ? Will MSE suffice and do everything I need to stay "safe" ?
thanks BnB and tc for the replies !
tc, when I scan Malwarebytes in safe mode should I do the "quick" or the "full" scan ?
If this doesn't work I'll try BnB's idea.
Bruce, I actually did just that last night...
...after my post. After much poking around I found and downloaded Malwarebytes. Ran it ... it found and removed 3 Trojans ... and the AntiVirus GT issue "seems" to be resolved.
I say "seems" because today when I go to Google and do simple searches most of the time I am redirected to some website that is NOT where I was intending to go.
For example, I Googled "MSE" ... after reading BullNBear's reply to your post to me. The first hit at the top of the Google page is the website for Microsoft Security Essentials. The first 5 times I clicked on that link I was redirected to some other bogus page I have no idea about. The MSE website finally did come up ... but only after backspacing and repeated tries.
This kind of thing has been happening all morning.
Any ideas?
What should I do next?
I have run Malwarebytes (full scan) again this morning and also ran AVG 9 scan as well.
Look forward to any help you are anyone can offer. tia
HELP! I am apparently infected with...
AntiVirus GT !
Anyone heard of it or know how I can rid my computer of it ?
HELP PLEASE ! tia

HELP PLEASE ! tia
...ddf, why don't YOU just use your...
considerable influence with the iHub "powers that be"...
snap your fingers...wiggle your nose...click your heels together...whatever...
and get the "Tiger Talk" board converted BACK to "free" status !
-----
Just do it...problem solved !!! TIA
...hmmm ! Well...it's "Premium" now & that's a bummer !
See if you can get it changed back ! tia
Buckey...why is the "Tiger Talk" board NOW Premium ?
...speakin' of John Daly...
have you seen him recently ?
The dude has lost over a 100 lbs...he is literally "half the man" he once was !
Reports are he did the lap band thingie !
Pretty amazing !!!
...curious why the "Tiger Talk" board...
is NOW a Premium Board !
What's up with that ?
gawd...with that out there...
...I don't know how he ever shows his face in public again !
Not to mention the club house locker room with the other players !!!
What an asshat !!!
...the dude was called "Urkel"...
at Stanford...by his other teammates !
-----
He was brought up by a strict disciplinarian Father...who by all accounts was NOT a great husband !
For all the praise Earl Woods has received...for his "tutelage" of Tiger...what is NOT talked about is...he was ALSO a chain smoking, alcohol abusing womanizer !
Tiger was on the Mike Douglas show when he was what...3yo...4yo ???
Tiger was touted as a "child prodigy"...early on !!!
Tiger may have more in common with someone like Michael Jackson...than we ever realized before !
The similarities between Earl Woods and Joe Jackson...as "Fathers"...is actually uncanny !!!
Both demanded excellence...and would except nothing else !
Both pushed their kids to the limit...bordering on child abuse !
Just sayin' !!!
Tiger needs an image makeover...
...and I mean a REAL image makeover !!!
An image that gives NEW meaning to the phrase...Be Like Mike !
-----
He should just come out and say...
YEA !
I DID IT !!!
AND IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF MY FACE...I'LL EAT YOUR CHILDREN !!!
-----
Tiger needs to get the name of Tyson's Tatoo Artist !!!
...good post but...
...your reference to an "affair" hardly describes what we now know of Tiger's exploits !
-----
Appaently, this guy has issues...
...has some fairly serious character flaws...
...a Dark Side !!!
-----
Tiger Woods...the greatest golfer the world has ever seen....
...is a sociopathic narcissist with a sex addiction !
Who knew ???
TIGER HAS EARNED NOTHING !!!
-----
HE DOESN'T GET A PASS !!!
HELLO !!!
-----
He is payed 100's of Millions of dollars in endorsements !
He is payed Millions More in Tournament Winnings !
He is a BRAND...an ICONIC BRAND of his own carefully guarded and manufactured devices !
You can't have it both ways !
You can't present a public image to the world and ca$h in...when things are "comfortable"...and then...scream foul...when things become uncomfortable !
It doesn't work that way !!!
-----
Tiger Woods is a fraud !
Tiger Woods has been living a lie !
Tiger Woods has not only been a disgrace to his wife and family...he has been a disgrace to the sporting and golfing world !
The fact that he didn't show up this week at "his own tournament" speaks
volumes about this dickhead's character !
He could have shown...if ONLY as a "Master of Ceremonies" !
"Tiger" indeed !
"Pussy" more like it !!!
mimurray...with all due respect...
...it seems to me that you've been on the wrong side of this story since day one...
seemingly...always the "Tiger Woods Apologist" !
-----
Now... I don't know what constitutes a "fuckin' sorry-azz arrogant self-absorbed prick" in your world...
but...I'm thinkin' for alot of us...
..."TIGER" HAS HURDLED THAT BAR WITH ROOM TO SPARE !!!
-----
Sadly, we have learned...Tiger Woods can hit a golf ball...period !
Well dig this ... a fuckin' robot can do that...and do it perfectly everytime !
Myself...I hold MY "sports heros" to a Higher Standard !!!
But that's just me !!!
...just realized something...
"TIGER IS ASSHOLE" !!!
-----
Apparently I was channeling "Tonto" there for a second !
-----
Make that...TIGER IS AN ASSHOLE !!!
I'm thinkin' that...Jesper is...
...the ONE guy out there...with the courage to actually tell it like it is !
TIGER IS ASSHOLE !!!
And Jesper said as much !!!
BRAVO !!!
-----
This was NOT an "indiscretion"...as TIGER would like to paint it !
This is the revelation that Tiger Woods is a "serial adulterer"...and HAS been for years !!!
While his wife was at home pregnant with one of his kids...and being a Mother to his other...where was Tiger ???
I think we NOW know !!!
What a fuckin' scumbag !!!
...the airbags didn't deploy because...
the vehicle was barely moving ! Duh !!!
-----
THE "CRASH" WAS STAGED !!!
Hello !!!
Wake up people !!!
You've all been had !!!
consider this scenario...
I think it's fairly obvious that the "story" we've been fed doesn't pass the smell test !
-----
Here's my theory...
Elin AIN'T stupid !
Contrary to what you may have heard about "blondes"...THIS gal is smart !
She comes from a well educated...well respected family in Sweeden. Fact !
Tiger "screwed around"...and the Enquirer story merely confirmed what she prolly already suspected !
She confronted Tiger about it...they argue...he tries to deny it...she ain't having any of his BS...the argument becomes more and more heated...tempers flair...to the point of a physical altercation...Tiger sustains...well..."visible injuries"...Tiger, knowing full well he can't show up at his OWN Tournament lookin' like he has been mauled by a...ah hem...uhhh..."tiger"...decides to...
...are you ready for this...
...STAGE THE WHOLE CAR CRASH !!!
-----
Before you poo poo this likely scanario...think about it !
It's actually pretty transparently obvious if you do that ! IMO
We've been played!!!
thanks Rckhnd & kkgd...appreciate it ! eom
...please...don't everyone speak at once ! eom
I've been away for awhile...
...could someone bring me up to speed on how this whole thing is playing out and where it all stands...in 50 words or less ? tia
anyone have thoughts on wireless mice...
and keyboards ?
------------
* which is better RF or IR ?
* range or directional issues ?
* battery life a problem ?
* any particular manufacturer better than the rest ?

BLASPHEMY !!!
...you said it even better...HEAR HEAR !!! eom
Stevie Williams needs to realize...
...he's a fricken glorified "donkey" !!!
-----
As "Tiger's Donkey"...he makes a VERY good living !
Good for him !
BUT...he should be seen... not heard !
All too often...he seems NOT to get this simple "caddy job description" !!! IMO
...is that actually true ? eom
...throwing my unabashed support behind DD!!!

...nice article, "jgbuz"...thx for posting !

I'm wondering IF...since the "alledged" crimes took place BEFORE iHub was purchased by ADVFN...if that would/could have any importance in determining whether there is any "liability" wrt ADVFN !
I mean...if all this took place BEFORE iHub was sold to ADVFN...how can you hold ADVFN "liable" ?
Or, am I confused on the timetable and sequence of events ?
zztops, I raised the issue the other night...
...about iHub's liability.
Here is a portion of that post:
----------
Here's a thought...wrt...iHub's "legal liability" !
And this (I think) speaks to "len's point"...and his concern about the future of iHub !
---
2 Legal Terms :
* Respondiat Superior
* Vicarious Liability
---
Would love to see some posts that delve into THESE (and other) legal precedence where an "employer" is held "liable" for an "employee's" criminal activity !
So...git busy...start diggin' !!!
----------
With the exception of "Hot Sauce #5"...no one on this board has "delved" !
Would YOU care to "delve" ?
From what I have been able to discover...the prospect of iHub's liability will depend on ONE (or both) of these legalities being proven in Civil Court ! imo
...the Author's name was subtle, huh ? LOL
