something bad happened to my com last nite !!
i got a trojan 'stuck' to my com .. argh angry when i tink abt it ..
cos i foolishly/stupidly/naively downloaded it ..
but tats cos it happened so fast tat i couldn't tink properly ..

its a fake spyware remover tool called System Security .. do take note guys ..
its a pop-up & started giving warnings tat my com has all sorts of viruses & trojans ..
i really thot tat was for real so i foolishly/stupidly/naively downloaded it ..

As stated in http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-system-security.html :
Application present itself as a reliable spyware remover, but in fact it is rogue application that may come to computer via fake video codec installation. System Security will start showing annoying pop-ups with false information about virus infections and serious system risks in order to sell itself. Showing these notifications application requests you to buy license to clean system but it doesn’t clean it after that. System Security is a parasite that wants you to spend your money on it, don’t get on this trick. It is very important to uninstall this parasite to prevent your own serenity.

i didnt fall for it since i hav to purchase it online, meaning using a credit card which i dun hav duh !
and the sucky thing is tat, there isnt any uninstallation for the program ..
it keeps popping up making my com even slower than ever ..

in order to get rid of it, i had to download 2 diff & trusted spyware remover + a clean-up tool ..
gud thing there's help available online to help remove it step by step ..

its only a success after the third time .. the first two i kinda missed the aftermath clean-up tat i hav to do to get rid of the thing completely .. so even after the 2 spyware removers detected viruses & trojans & removed them, the stupid program was still around .. like nothing happened .
fuh .. im just glad tat its gone .. at least now i hav these applications to help keep my com safe & i promise myself to constantly do checkups for this com !!

look at him laugh .. he sounds cute when he laughs but too bad u cant hear it !
