I just got an attack from Windows 7 Virus protection and totally took over my computer. Kept trying to run a virus check and trojans and all kinds of shit would pop up. I was unable to turn it off so it was obviously a "rogue" anti-spyware program.

Crazy shit is that I tried to get online and download a computer virus scan program i've used in the past and it would not let me get on any page except to purchase windows 7 2011 anti-virus software.

Crazy shit.

So anyway, I had to recover my operating system to an earlier date and no problems yet except my mmcafee real time scanning is disabled and will not turn back on.

I've researched a bit and other with win 7 has had this attack and comments on what I read was mcafee is no good.

Norton not any better (btw... why does norton keep trying to install itself on my computer from the day I bought it last year?) I don't want fucking Norton and can't seem to get it to go away.

My question:

What is the current cream of the crop anti-virus and spyware protection now adays?

Also... anyone familiar with this attack recommend a scan of hard drive in case anything is left on my computer?

Thanks
