I have reserrected an old computer (4 years ols) by having more memory and XP put on.
The PC previously had AVG on (via dial up) and when connected to Bband I thought it would automatically update. However the version is out of date and not supported. I cannot remove it for some reason although I have done this via control panel (add/remove progs) nor can I download a fresh version as it keeps taking me back to the old registration page with the old number. Anyway it just will not up date. So I put avast on and ran it. This told me I have Win32. I ran PC doctor and this told me something else. What can I believe. How can I clean the machine and be sure it is clean.
Access to internet is limited on this machine but I do have access via another machine. Is there something I can do whilst off line? Can I load something onto a disc maybe, from the one machine and run it on the infected one?
If I buy, say, norton, will that detect and clean and protect in future.
