I have been going through the list of things you suggested I install, like the firewall, and will definitely be using them.
I also read the part asking what we wanted done to those who infected our machines. To that effect I have a question. My first symptoms (Annoying popups) occured while I was using Hotspot Sheild to stream video from Hulu. I don't live in the US so I need such a program to stream video from those sites. I don't know if it was Hotspot what left me vulnerable. Do you know if Hotspot is safe to use. I have used it scores of times before without being infected and find it difficult to believe it was the cause. If it was though I will of course stop using it. Also, if it was the cause can you recommend another such program I could use in its place?
Once again, thanks for all your help.
