I was attempting to update my screencasting software to make a new tutorial for you and I download a virus on my good computer. Seriously! Didn't I have issues last time I attempted to make a video? At least I was able to get MalwareBytes running on my computer.
So in honor of my dumb downloading mistake, here is the best advice you will get this week: download MalwareBytes, at least the free version, NOW. Did you know some viruses are programmed not to let you download anti-virus software. I am quite confident that if I did not already have MalwareBytes installed, I would not have been able to use my Internet browser to download anti-malware software. Download some anti-malware software today, so you can be proactive about your future computer issues.
The second part of the advice. Before you start downloading from unknown sources BACKUP YOUR FILES. By pure coincidence, I actually backed up my entire computer the night before I accidentally downloaded this virus. I guess I had good timing on my back up.
Please learn from my mistake. As always thanks for joining me today and remember that tomorrow today will be the past, so start saving your story today.
