I have to quit

Tweet

Yesterday morning I settled in to do my typical clicking on my PTC sites. I had about 3 of them open as well as my e-mail and PTR sites. All of a sudden my spyware program popped up and told me there had been a registry change, and asked me to accept or deny it. But before I could click to deny it, my computer rebooted itself. Upon restart I could not access my firewall program or spyware program. I could access my anti-virus, and ran a scan that produced 4 trojans! It deleted them, and to be safe I ran the virus scan again. This time it picked up 3 DIFFERENT trojans. I still could not access my firewall or spyware, so I did a system restore to a couple of days ago, and ran the virus scan again, which again found 2 different trojans, and some sort of mutant virus!! Well, in the end I had to wipe my hard drive. Of course the viruses ate my factory restore, so I had to do it all the hard way. I am so lucky my husband works with computers for a living, or I would have been so lost. In the end I realize it's probably not a smart idea to do these click sites, as you never know what is on the websites you're clicking. When I think about the hundreds, and even thousands of websites my computer is exposed to on a daily basis from the click sites and traffic exchanges, well, it's just not worth the safety of my computer for a few cents a day. I will continue to chat here on Mylot, as I've never had a problem with it, and if I put as much time into Mylot as I do on the other GPT sites, I can earn more anyways. But the other sites... nope I'm done!
