Cursed Be Their Names

More annoying than sand fleas, more toxic than fresh moonshine, is a network of butt-munching spy-spammers known as the Bull's Eye Network.

Who let them in, I know not. But I'm guessing in my daughter's haste to close a pop-up, they got her. Oh, and they hid. But I found the nasty infestation.

Once discovered, this nuisance only pretends to uninstall, and even then, the pretense is bought only through a tedious process saturated with trickery and questionnaires.

This, friends, is the reason I was down for three days. This Bull's Eye crap (all 5 megs of it) crashed Internet Explorer. Crashed. Burned. Gone.

Upgraded Explorer. Crashed. Burned. Gone.

I needed to download Ad Aware and a new browser. But that's kinda hard to do when ya CAN'T GET ONLINE!

This is seriously cramping my techtarded style.

So I squashed the bug to the best of my ability, recovered the dial-up connection, and resurrected Outlook. Tech support emailed Netscape to me, and so, here I be, pissy but present.

I just need two things: Access to the Bull's Eye Shit Headquartahs and a bazooka.

I feel violated. Seriously.

And I've picked up these disturbing fantasies. Remember the glutton in the movie Seven? Well, put a spammer in his place, and change the menu from spaghetti to Spam.

Yeah, that's where I am with this.

Key...

Try this free download to remove Bullseye Network:

http://www.spykiller.com/index.asp?ref=2301&p=1

Then download the free Firefox 1.0 browser from this website:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

FIREFOX RULES!!!

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.

While you're at it, you might want to take a look at Thunderbird from Mozilla for use as an e-mail client, rather than Outlook. It's another free download, and it's easily "trained" to weed out spam. It will direct it to a separate folder that you can check as you wish, just in case it caught something that wasn't spam. Download at:

http://texturizer.net/thunderbird/download.html

My ISP uses Postini as a mail server, and you can set spam guidelines for it so that spam never hits your e-mail client. It keeps it on the server and you can check it and open it there with no danger of infecting your computer. Probably a monthly fee for it if your ISP doesn't offer it, but worth looking into, Google search for "Postini".

Can you tell I'm paranoid about security??? I'm currently using:

Firefox 1.0 as a browser (free)
Thunderbird 0.9 as a mail client (free)
ZoneAlarm Pro as a firewall, and it scans e-mail also (subscription, but they have a free version that works great!)
AVG 7.0 Professional as an antivirus program, also scans e-mail (subscription, but also a free version that works really well)
Ad-Aware SE personal to scan for spyware. (free)

You can also go to PCPitstop.com, set up a free account, and it will deep-scan your system for viruses, trojans (NO, NOT THAT KIND!!!), spyware...and will give suggestions on what you can do to get the best performance from your system. Pretty good stuff!

No need to thank me...*GRIN*

That's why I don't use Outlook for email. That service is a flea-bitten, tick-infested dog that will bring in every virus and spy-program known to man.

ANYTHING else is better.

They are right Firefox is awesome. You dont get a fraction of the popups. There is alot of freeware out there.

Ad Aware will get rid of all the Spyware:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Spy Bot Search & Destroy is very good as well:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Opera is another great free Web browser:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

AVG is free antivirus:
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php

It really stinks that we have to jump thru all these hoops to keep our PC's clean. I will ssy its been much easier since I quit using MS Internet Explorer. Good Luck.

Oh I feel your pain! I had to reload a friends system to get rid of all the spyware! AdAware SE detected and removed over 12,000 items!!! I'd love to get my hands on one of these jackasses.

There is a very simple solution and it's become exceedingly cheap to implement - get a Mac (Mini).

Once you do Mac you'll never go back and they are virtually immune to virii and the rest of this nonsense.

Seriously.

What Jesse Brown said.

Forget that Mac bullshit. If you really want to slow dance...LINUX is the man.

Posted by: Sam at January 19, 2005 04:28 PM

Don't get me wrong, MAC's have a great operating system...much better than anything MS produces...but, *NIX is the catdaddy. *NIX will run underwater.

I'm just waiting for the poor lil techtard herself to respond to all these suggestions with a great big..."Huh?! HELP!"

(BTW - before you all go off on me, just realize that SHE called herself that!)

Posted by: zonker at January 19, 2005 05:46 PM

I was happy in my special little techtarded place, thank you very much Zonk... ; )

But, alas, I have been forced out of my cave. Even the tech support geek was impressed that I found the culprit and knew how to squash it.

It was just a matter of getting back up again, so that I could access downloads.

But this pc isn't fit for my 8 year old. It's time to retire it. I'm gonna have to bring one home from our office.

It took it an HOUR to run Ad Aware, then CRASHED when I pressed the magic button to kill the bugs.

Dammit.
