Someone in the KGW chat night said that the woman at AAA roofing did not seem to have a spyware problem, since she had an SQL error page.  At the time I thought the same thing, but in reality, she did.  She had what&#8217;s called a &#8220;redirected home page&#8221; or &#8220;hijacked home page&#8221;, and that page is what was giving an SQL error. The SQL error looked like it was coming from a web host.  Winpatrol fixed it, restoring her default homepage, and that was likely spyware. <\/p>\n<p>2. This point was not made well&#8230;You often need to use at least two spyware removal programs to insure you are clean. <\/p>\n<p>3. Why would I pick that day to wear socks and sandals? My brand new sandals needed a little breaking in, just wearing them around the house. I forgot I was going to be on TV!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of people saw the spyware show on our local Portland TV Station KGW.
