Need opinions on virus/trojan attack last night

Quote from Rehoboth:

I do like superanitspyware, but it puts itself into the startup which is unnecessary.

I did not like that either, but you can easily solve that problem. Just run MSCONFIG and uncheck SuperAntiSpyware in the Startup tab.
 
delete java and adobe and reload them,most viruses won't attack a mac so they may have connected to a common download you have....delete facebook also and reload
 
Format your HD and install a sandbox like Deep Freeze. You merely need to reboot your computer to revert back to your original configuration. Once installed, any subsequent changes to your computer will be wiped out.

If you're REALLY paranoid, then I suggest you install VMware inside Deep Freeze. Kinda silly idea but it's practically fail-proof.

Using separate terminal for trading just ain't good enough IMO. There's always a chance for the baddies to creep in, be it your negligence or not. Even your trustworthy broker can mess things up you (remember Ameritrade?).

MACS dont get virus, I would not worry. That why I trade on a Macintosh Pro tower. Sucker is fast as shit, trading platform and assorted applications run lightning speed and no risk of virus/trojans or bluescreen of deaths.

Why not trade on your Mac? even TWS runs on a Mac.
