In my previous post, I mentioned the fact that I'd fallen prey to malware called text - enhance in my blog.
Found a brilliant website, 'botcrawl', where I learnt that there are differents ways to eliminate it and instructions varied depending on which browser you use. Instructions for Internet Explorer are as follows:
Step 1: Click the Tools button and then click Manage add-ons.
Step 2: Under Show, click All add-ons or Toolbars and Extensions. (Depends which IE you use)
Step 3: Select the Text Enhance plugin from the list of software, and click disable. Click here to view a list of possible extension names.
Checked the blog - it's gone! Never to return. How can I be sure of that, you ask? Well, elementary, my dear Watson. I learnt how to block the text-enhance cookie.
How to block the Text Enhance cookie
- 1. From the Tools menu of Internet Explorer, select Internet Options
- 2. Select the Privacy tab, and then click Sites. The Per site privacy actions window will be displayed
- 3. In the Per site privacy actions window, enter Text-Enhance.com in the Address of Web site field
- 4. Click Block
- So not quite Blogging bliss, yet, but I'm getting there......!
