"Stealth infection." What is that might I ask? An infection that does absolutely nothing?
That's very odd. What's the purpose of the infection? To demonstrate stealth?
Yes, I've been laughing at infection since imaging, AV's, and firewalls became available.
And it's a shame that those spending all this time here - WEEKS SOMETIMES - trying to rid a computer of infection, don't make it a habit to ALWAYS ask if the poor guy/gal asking for help has an image to restore, or a manufacturers recovery partition. Many do.
THEN decide which is best - restore an image, or go through conniptions trying to remove infection.
Even a HD format and clean install is often faster than removing an infection.
THEN tell anybody who will listen that ATTEMPTED infection removal is a poor substitute for restoring the PC with an image that NEVER HAD AN INFECTION.
Of course most people won't listen, so it's not like somebody will be deprived of the endless pimping of various AV and malware removal tools. Or of all the money-making and hobbying derived
But at least they could say "I tried."
Now, what is your issue with me having a clean, infection free computer by using MSE, Win 7 firewall and some care in clicking, And of restoring my PC in 5 minutes with an image?
What exactly is your problem with that?
