Be careful with Winks on MSN -
 

Someone, who will remain nameless suggested I get some free "winks" for MSN instant messenger from a certain website

Without thinking properly, I downloaded one, installed it and now my PC is suffering some kind of attack

More details of the saga here

I am now looking at trying to raise the money to pay a professional to see if he can fix it.

I have a lot of important stuff on my PC and with one of my software tools the installation discs disappeared during a redecoration of my flat last year. So I need to get a fix without the "nuke" option of reformatting and rebuilding from scratch.

I have already spent $42.94 (Canadian Dollars) to register software which promised a fix and did not solve my problem.
:bawling:

So STAY AWAY FROM MSN WINKS!!!!!!!

Especially when talking to me on MSN at the moment. :nono:

Stay away from MSN, full of peados who want your bum.

Can't really argue with that..

mine is ok and running fine

how do you know it was the winks could be a coincidence :nono::nono:

Oh and don't get Block Checker either. That really screws up your PC!

Which gimp suggested that then??

MSN is full of weirdos in any case.

My system was fine until then

could be coincidence sorry but you did ask . It aint my fault:shocked:

I got the conversion from US (Not Canadian Dollars) the XoftSpy registration stung me for £27.70 :bawling::mad:

The fee from the Engineer was £45.00 for 1 1/2 hours work

An account of what was done and shortly after

One question I had on there has been answered, with ZoneAlarm I do not us the XP firewall

So far no need for the Nuke option yet- but the night is still young :shocked::bored:

how d ya think i feel loosing my car after just paid 600 quid to get it on the road and now its a right off:bored:

BTW are there any PC engineers on this forum, who can scratch build a pc and are au fait with operating systems and how to defeat malware? :puzzled::conf:
