I'm having a little trouble, i'm sure i have a virus but nortons doesn't seem to be finding anything. it's scanning all the drives doing a full scan.

So what's the best way to do a scan? any tips or trick to make sure it gets into every little corner? is it worth turning anything off while doing a scan? anything i should take in to consideration that i might have missed?

I'm using the latest version of norton with updated definitions.

One person said do it in safe mode? is this a good idea?

another person said close everything down in the background? right? wrong?

so how can i do the best scan possible?

I was wondering if that website Hits4Pay is valid. They ask for your SSN or Tax ID number in order to send out your checks. Is it rubbish or valid?

Hi. Whats happening is that my computer seems to be infected with a virus. I might have downloaded, or have been uploaded with something that is saying there is spyware on my computer and that I must download several software programs they are selling to rid myself of the problem. To me this seems like a gimmick. Perhaps the program company created this virus as a loop to make money. It is very frustrating. Is there a way to rid my computer of these errors? I am constantly getting pop ups and other warnings. Even my browser has shut down as I have been typing this question. I am wondering if maybe i went out and bought Norton or Mcafee products for virus protection?? What to do? If you were wondering, I am currently not using any type of virus protection. HELP!

I work in the IT field, and I am fully aware that computers are safer when running with "user" rights as opposed to "admin" rights. However, I've been a little sceptical when I hear other tech's mention this as being the end-all, be-all cure for this problem. They speak as if no virus or spyware app could ever execute or run if "users were users and not admins". Is this correct? Are there simply no known cases of a virus or piece of spyware infecting a machine that was running with "user" rights? I'd love to see a news article or something credible as opposed to someone's blog, but any example will do.
