I woke up this morning thinking maybe the computer fairy had come in the night and fixed my computer. Well after making the coffee and setting down I turned on the HP and low and below that fairy had not come to see me. I still have that Anti Virus program blocking my web pages. What is the deal with this. I can’t even find out what program it is. When it comes up and wants me to purchase the plan for another year I find no name. All it says is that I have a virus and the only way to get rid of it is to pay them $59.95.
Well I will just have to put up with this pop up mess until I can get time to take it to the doctor to see what they can do. I feel like reaching into the computer and ripping out the heart of this Virus Protection. It wants to tell me how bad this virus is…when it should be worried about how bad I am. I can’t chat on Facebook…it has me blocked! I think chat is out all the way around.
One thing that makes me happy is the fact that my kids are law officers. They are doing real well. I pray for them all the time for the Lord to keep them safe. Be careful going through Van Zandt County Texas, however….they are watching you.
My daughter and SIL are about to leave for work
Many of my readers have noticed that I have not been posting lately. Well I am back in action now and hope to work around the problems I am having.
Sherri and I have been having fun working together and exploring new places while on the road. We are trying to make this next few months as fun as possible until we can hit the road for real. We have set a $ goal and when we reach that we will be seeing you down the road. Yes we will be traveling to different places and seeing new sites and having new adventures.
One adventure today is going to Gladewater Texas to see an RV park there where we might call home for a while. We will be working in that area this next month. I will have some pictures of it for my next post. Until then I guess I will have to say so long until we meet again…

my granddaughter caught same had to wipe complete,lost everything,it is a real bad virus
I caught same virus and used Malwarebyt Anti-Malware to remove it. Free download and worked like a charm. Might try that before computer hospital.
I had that a while back and ran system restore and got rid of it, can't hurt. good luck.
Joe,
Go to Programs/CONTROL PANEL and click on ADD/Delete programs. Scroll down to Norton Anti-Virus and uninstall (delete). This is more than likely the program that is driving you up the wall -- it happened to me too. After your initial year subscription runs out you will continuously get pop-up windows asking you to renew. I uninstalled the program and now use Webroot Antivirus ($15.00) and love it! Good Luck!!
Joe...I believe you have the same as I did and this is how I removed it.
When you get to the internet, go to this site: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/8693/how-to-remove-antivirus-live-and-other-roguefake-antivirus-malware/
It works best if you have a memory stick to download the "portable version SuperAntiSpyware" AND the "Malwarebytes" saving both to the stick.
Then run the "SuperAntispyware" from the stick scanning your computer.
It will no doubt find many "spyware". Trust it and let it clean up your hard drive.
Then go back to your stick and install Malwarebyte on your hard drive. Run this program, it may or may not find more. If it does, let it clean your drive up.
Then go to Microsoft Security Essentials at: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Download this program. After downloading disconnect from the net. Uninstall your anti virus software, someone mentioned you may have Norton. Uninstall it prior to installing MSEssentials.
After you have MSEssentials installed connect back to the net and have it update. You will have to manually do this the first time. After its updated, disconnect from the net.
Now scan your computer, when its finished you should be free of your problems.
However Joe, if your absolutely sure its Norton doing this, which I am hesitant to believe, then I suggest you email me at fwh246@gmail.com.
We can then talk in more detail if you like.
Good luck and let us know.
That is a spybot pop-up,you have a spyware infection and will have to run a spyware program, to get rid of it, some antivirus's such as AVG have it but it is not in the free version, I went to PC Worlds website and bought, Spyware Doctor, about a year agao for 29.99, I have been spyware free since, But you do have to renew it so you figure on having to pay the 29.99 a year to be virus and spyware free.

Speedy, I agree with the readers that used Malwarebytes. Yo0u can also go to Trend Micro Systems and click on House Calls. It is a free scan and virus removal. If it is Nortons that is causing your problems you will have to remove it before you install another program. Good luck
Great photo of the lawkids. They both look like they are enjoying their jobs. Do they have same shift?
Hi Speedy, that virus that's affecting your computer is a nasty one, but it can be removed for free without much difficulty. An earlier commenter mentioned Malware and that should do it. Here's the link to it, download it, install it and run it and you should be o.k.

Forgot to put the link in the first comment!!! Just copy this link and connect.
That thing is a virus itself. I got rid of it with Malwarebytes as others have suggested.
Now I have Microsoft Security Essentials, and the next time I caught a virus, MSE just told me what it was, and got rid of it.
