well as to step 11 i know how i got infected, it was my fault, i was frustrated at the time and was trying to find a file necessary to mod my 360 and when i went to download it the site asked me if i was ok with the site, but the source file didnt match the site, nor was the certificate valid, in my infinite wisdom i said whatever threw my hands in the air after clicking allow, allow, allow... anyway i was pretty upset with myself after about ten minutes when my computer started giving me warnings. i knew better, just guess my temper got the best of me. quick question, would you suggest a better virus scanner than spybot? im set with avast and malwarebytes, but i havnt used spybot long enough to form an opinion yet? would you suggest somthing else or will it suffice?
