My Facebook page has been hacked. Father's cellphone has received TWENTY MMS text messages just in the last hour. That cost him $0.25 per MMS Message. Now I have to re-boost his phone as it lost $5.00 of funds.
Now I know for a God given fact that my father's mobile phone isn't in my Facebook contact list. So my Facebook page surely is being hacked.
On top of that, I had to download & install Google Chrome again as IE-8 quit functioning all together. I open it and I get ten IE windows open at the same time. Obviously something is wrong again.
Ship the PC BACK to the tech again!!!!!!!!!!! Spend another $150 or more to get it fixed.

Do you do a full virus scan at lest twice a week. I also do a yahoo anti-spy can at lest once a day. I also got windows defender on my pc and laptop. Do you have that. Windows defender found spy software virus on my pc last week and removed it. A system restore can sometimes sort your IE. Im still using ie 7 on my xp pc has I have been unsure about getting ie 8 for xp. My windows 7 laptop uses ie 8.

I called my tech guy this afternoon and he refuses to work on this PC any more. He has worked on this many, many times. There is a deeply embedded file hidden within the operating system files. I mention what you said and he said it will not work as he already done that before in the past. And that hidden file comes up in the restoring process. This computer has been a lemon from day one and it's pretty obvious it isn't fixable. The guy I worked with has over 20 years experience and never seen anything like what I have on my PC. I'm up to my eyeballs with this F-U-C-K-in piece of S-H-I-T!! Tired of wasting money trying to get it fixed and nobody seems to be able to extract the deeply rooted file. I had the same continuous problem since I bought this STUPID machine from Office Max in 2003.

I click on it to be removed and it comes up as "Cannot remove the file as it is a password protected decompression bomb" Should I call the Bomb Squad Then?? What in the heck is a DECOMPRESSION BOMB??

A DECOMPRESSION BOMB is a file thats on your pc and lets your software think your pc has got a viurs when really it may not have. Also the file can make your pc think you have used up more hard drive space that you really have. You can get your anti-virus to quarantine it so it dont show up again but that dont really take the file off your pc. It just locks it in your anti-virus so it cant do anymore harm to your pc than it already has. Looking on the McAfee site it says you can remove the file in some cases but you should back up your pc first as you may lose some files or software that you may have wanted to keep. Hope this helps you. Darren

Avast won't remove it or send to the chest as it is a password protected file.

Is it in your temp files folder. If so go and delete your temp folders and see if the file deletes. I delete my temp folders on my pc at lest once a week. Also read this link. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bombDarren
