Malware Infestations
A friend of a friend asked me (actually they asked my wife to ask me) to ‘clean up’ a computer that they had so that their daughter could use it for school stuff. It was a relatively new machine, but was running VERY slowly – and was making quite a few attempts to load pop-ups from the internet. I typically poke around a bit on any computer that I’m working on before I plug it in to my network, and in this case I’m glad that I did.
