Firt, I know how to remove viruses and spyware.
In order for them to "come back", they have to first "go away".
I know these files were reomoved. After updating McAfee. I must have missed an update somewhere, some how. The spyware was also removed.
I did not even think that they came from MT, until I came back. I was quite surpised. I am 100% positve that these problems are some how related to MT. And I am no computer ametuer as some people have arrogantly assumed and commented on. I used to be a partner in an ISP.
Once I log off from here now, I'll see if anything else happens. Perhaps things were taken care of and now people have to do a quick CYA.
I for one had always believed in dealing honestly and directly with people and not covering up problems like this. If there is a security breach, you have an obligation to the community to inform them so they can make sure they get software updates and avoid the problems - not deny, lie and call people names and blame someone else.
Can't see that the issue is from MartialTalk. I don't have any connection to MT or Bob other than the fact that I like to surf here and if I ever get around to having a site of my own, Bob is the kind of businessman that I would like to have doing my legwork for him. That's personally why I support this place...my decision, my cash.
I can say this. Personally, I am on this site A LOT. Yes, I have no life, but...I also work some oddball hours. My background is telecommunications engineering and right now I'm sitting in front of more DS3 connections than I'd care to mention.
If there is a spyware, malaware, viruses, trojans going about on our network, we know about it. We make telecommunications equipment and we vigorously monitor what goes in and out of the building. Does my company know I surf MT when I work? You bet. They also know when any viruses or bad stuff goes across our network.
We have never seen ANYTHING amiss from MartialTalk or KenpoTalk and I would be enough of a jerk to call Bob out LOUDLY if he ever does that. No viruses, no trojans, no malware, no spyware, no tracking cookies, no worms, no warez...nothing but data and certainly nothing that would make me look like a bloody idiot in front of my colleagues.
But anyway...that's just my opinion and no, I'm not getting anything out of it except a chance to be a loudmouth and a chance to put off working for a bit more and wonder if its 4AM yet so I can go home :rofl:
That's not to say my knowledge is pristine or superior or anything else, but...that's just my point of view out the window from the desk in my office. There are bad things out there on the web and always issues in keeping everything working five-nines reliable. Personally I'd much rather be tracking down hardware interop issues and software bugs than chasing around bad data on the internet and seeing what it does to our customers....but such is the reality we face in telecom. Just my opinion though.
Good luck.
