I'm really upset. I suppose I unknowingly hit a button
that downloaded parasites onto my computer. I installed a
pop-up blocker but one of my co-workers told me that as
long as I have my current computer, I'll continue to
recieve dozens of pop-ups a day and the only thing the
pop-up blocker does is block them so I don't see them
on-screen but they're being stored on my hard drive.
He said I will need to delete everything from my hard drive
and do a complete System Recovery before the security of my
system is compromised because these hackers know my IP
address! I am very despondent about this and want to know
if you'd suggest this. Since my computer is under warranty,
should I call Compaq and have this done or is there
ANYTHING I can do to alleviate the problem? This is maddening!
