<VV> [SPAM] E-Mail Hacking-Solutions? (VirtualVairs Digest, Vol 94, Issue 28)

[Jim]

My suggestion, and it is just a suggestion, is to give McAfee a try.
I used to use Norton as well as other programs and had problems with
malware.  Since I have installed McAfee on five different computers, I
have not been infected.  (Knock on wood).  I have several friends that
have been infected and none of them were using McAfee, since they
moved to McAfee they have also been infection free.

All,

In the latest VV Digest, there was a claim from Bill that  his E-Mail
account was hacked and fixed.  However, he warned about the
possibility of future tainted E-Mail.  I suspect that Bill and I as
well as  others share this problem and insecurity.  Later in the same
digest, there was a posting from Dave which was the apparent result of
another hacking.  Both posts are copied below.

We are seeing all too many of these tainted posts here on VV  as well
as in our in-boxes from other sources I assume.  Among others, my
account has
been hacked as well with the results demonstrated here on VV.
Earlier today,
I sent myself an E-Mail to document something and along with the
expected E-Mail, I also had a tainted E-Mail supposedly from myself to
myself  with a link.  I did an immediate search-and-destroy scan of my
hard  disk.
Unfortunately, this problem is recurrent and I have no confidence
that this issue is permanently fixed on my disk.

I scan my disk on a regular basis with Norton 360, TuneUp 360  and ARO
2012 (Advanced Repair and Optimization.)  Either there is malware
that is clever enough to avoid detection and removal under scrutiny of
all these programs or my PC gets reinfected on a regular basis.  The
Norton is  supposed to detect attacks before infection occurs.

So, here's my point.  Does anyone have some insight they  would like
to share with all of us on an effective way to remove this insidious
malware and hopefully, give us pointers on how to prevent future
infection.

Please forgive me if there is a tainted post along with this  real
post.

Thanks in advance,

Doc
