Malware Jedi saved my PC

Mar.12, 2008 in Malware, News, Spyware Removal

Malware is rarely good news, but occasionally there is an upside. It introduced me to the online communities that exist to help the infected - and perhaps it helped to save some hedgehogs, an outcome I’m certain the malware authors could never have foreseen.

It started with the telltale signs on my son’s PC: operating system reduced to a crawl, antivirus software grinding away uneasily and generating mysterious reports. There is a form of panic unique to the home PC user. You realise you have no tech support hotline, that you don’t know what is going on and that you are on your own. It’s you against the malware.
