564 Viruses Removed early this morning
I had 564 infected files cleaned and fixed this morning. Then worked on the rest until about 1:00 P.M. About $300 later, I am doing well!
This is what I have to say about that: If I were to go to whatismyip.com, again I Would Not download anything from that site. Definitely not the Page Speed. It is really hard to know for sure, but it kept putting message pop ups on my computer. My Firefox started crashing every 5 seconds, and then when I began to contact Dell, things were shutting each other down. Believe me it was a mess. Broke some of my software and that's where the cost came in. I have a support policy with Dell. However I didn't have anything on the software.
When I started having some trouble with my website on Easter weekend, I am wondering if something had gotten on there then. I have no way of knowing. All this to say, be very careful about downloading anything from random sites, even when recommended by folks you trust. They didn't tell me to download anything so it wasn't their fault in any way. Be very sure to keep your Anti-Virus up to date.
Between doctors appointments and computer trouble, I have missed this week getting homework done. I have the rest of today and tomorrow. So... we will see.
Happy Web-siting, Domaining, or Selling!
God Bless you all!

Glad you got your computer cleaned up. I spent an afternoon cleaning up my teenagers computer that was loaded with malware. The lesson is, invest in good anti-virus/anti-malware software.

So sorry to hear about your recent challenges but I am glad you have things sorted out now!
Glad you got it all sorted. My computer was down for a while too and cost some to get it fixed. So I am more careful also. :)
I received an email the other day from the Chairman of the tennis club.When I was about to open it,it said something about Fraudulent and lucky my software picked up on this.Needless to say I did not open it,I deleted it.It was not intentional because when I seen the guy down at the tennis club he said to me do not open it,I told him I had not and that I deleted it.
I have picked viruses up on laptops before and they are a bugger to get rid of.I have had no problems with this laptop hewlett packard is one of the best computers you can buy.

I almost posted a blog about malware yesterday, but because I am new to WA the system wouldn't let me (newbies can only post once a day for 3 months). I will post it later today. It is for downloading Malwarebytes, but you may have this tool already.
I have noted the web name and will not be visiting this site. Thank you for sharing this it is greatly appreciated.
You're welcome. I don't know that the site for just the ipaddress is bad, however, I would not download anything from there.
