Why Mocospace wont last?
I know in the past blogs I really didn't give to much detail to why I felt Mocospace would not last as a socialnetworking site like its counterparts myspace, facebook.
Although it does share quite a bit of a following based on looking at how many people subscribe to it.
That being said here are a few problems with the Mocospace social networking form I have.
First if your using the Mocospace on your own computer chances are you will have to lower your volume on your computer. The advertisement pool they use to draw people to it is very annoying. Second if a user does not want to hear and see these types of advertisements on their computer when they go to the site a user will have to pay to take those type of advertisements off so you will no longer hear them.
Second the annoying pop ups when you go from screen to screen. It seems that the site owners of Mocospace don't screen some of their advertisers and provide spamish type of advertising.
Last but not least I'm sure as you read on my last blog their system for some reason has malware which tries to upload onto your computer called antivirus 2010. Its a nasty one which will run and make itself look as though you caught a virus and you need to upgrade an buy the software. be warned this software's goal is to capture your credit card information and who knows what antivirus will do with your software. if you catch the nasty virus go to malwarebites they got a free download to take off the malware.
Thats just my two cents but I hope they read this blog and change some of their revenue strategies because just put simply people will soon leave.
Also if you have a problem with Mocospace chatroom virus here is a link to get rid of the pesky virus from mocospace
So tell me your thoughts or solutions to getting rid of the virus on your computer

Mocospace socialnetwork review.
After looking at Mocospace, not only does their site carry some type of malware the social network
has the most annoying advertisements compared to its counter parts facebook, myspace.
I doubt this site will last long and will turn people away. If you want to socialize mocospace in my opinion is not a place to be.

Mocospace and viruses problem
Mocospace a social network like myspace and facebook which allows users to add friends, chat and socialize.
I reviewed the site as a prospective socialnetwork for the company I work with only to catch a nasty virus off the site.
The moco site redirects a user to install an antivirus software which is a malware program. Malware is a virus that installs on your hard drive and trys to capture sensitve information.
It took me a while to get the virus off my computer.
How did i do it?
Well first of all the malware will prevent you from going to system restore so you will have to stop the program from running.
Some antivirus softwares will not pick up this nasty malware from Mocospace.
The first step you will need is to click start on your left side bottom click run.
Then on the run option type in msconfig
The Ms config will open up a dialog box which will give you a list of the programs that are running. Click the start tab and uncheck which programs you may think are causing the problem. Eventually once you get the virus uncheck when you reboot it wont run.
Ok now that you got the program from not running you need to clean it. Go back to the msconfig which i mention and at the bottom of the dialog box there is a restore button. If not you can always go to start > program > asserories> system tools>restore system.
This should unstiall the program. Then run your antivirus software to clean up anything that is left over.
Good luck and if you got other suggestions please post them. The mocospace providers need to make sure their site has not been compromised.
