jon_chaissonNothing really new to report...ran a few other tests which came up negative. Still can't get to the McAfee website, McAfee is borked--sort of.
This is the weird thing...I can't get to that one site, but I can get to all the others (Ad-Aware, Norton/Symantec, etc)...the timely McAfee update pop-up came up and as of the time we left for work, it was supposedly running an update. Both Explorer and Firefox are slow as sin. Tried to do a System Restore but it hung and had to reboot (I might try that one again, though).
But everything in my system seems to be working totally fine.
I'm wondering if I should just do yet ANOTHER system wipe/restore. I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling McAfee first, though.
Like I said, this one's weird, in that it happened AFTER I ran a bunch of system cleaning tools, and the only site I can think of that I visited after that, that might have thrown a trojan my way, is Facebook.
More on this later...
