It’s almost embarrassing to admit that I got infected with a corrupt security tool. Luckily for me, I didn’t actually buy Winweb Security. I understand that things could have gotten much worse if I had.
I’d like to think I’m sort of computer savvy. I don’t know any programming languages or anything, but I thought I could pretty much navigate the Internet without exposing myself to an infection like Winweb Security. I guess there’s a first time for everything.
I heard from a friend that you can watch TV shows on the Internet. I thought that was great in the event that I missed one of my favorite shows. Of course, the first time I tried this out, I got infected by Winweb Security. I didn’t know what was going on at first.
I did a Google search for free online TV. I clicked on a link that my antispyware program said was okay. I didn’t think anything of having to download a video codec to watch my show. That’s when Winweb Security nabbed me.
I thought it was kind of strange that at this time a pop up told me that Winweb Security said I have infected files on my computer. I didn’t remember anything from the Windows site about this feature.
After that, I got redirected to the Winweb Security home page. The fact that I was redirected was weird to begin with. What was really weird was that it wasn’t the Windows update page. I got really suspicious at this point.
It said that I had to buy the full version of Winweb Security to get rid of my infection. I saw the price tag and nearly fainted. There’s no way I could pay that much to get rid of some infection! That’s the point where I quit falling for the scam. I was still fooled, but I wasn’t paying.
I got on my laptop to find reviews of Winweb Security. Instead I found that it was a corrupt security tool. It causes an infection to make people buy its program, which is worthless. There were also mentions of it being able to steal my identity.
I figured that if I had to buy a new antispyware product since my other one had failed me, I would have to get the ultimate, the best. I knew that everyone claims to be the best, so I decided to try a different angle. I would search for 100% removal guarantees. It doesn’t get any better than that, does it? I wanted to make absolutely sure that I got rid of Winweb Security.
I found only one program that makes this kind of promise. This program was SpyZooka. I saw the five star ratings and the partnership with the Better Business Bureau. That impressed me, but I wanted to know if it would take care of my problem. I used the trial version, and it found Winweb Security within five minutes.
From there, I bought their full version, which was much cheaper than Winweb Security’s wanna-be program. It killed it, and I haven’t had a problem since. So far, I haven’t even had an infection to clean up. Now that’s satisfaction!
