I got this virus on my computer that none of my anti virus software (mcafee, adaware) can fix.

The virus tells me i have a virus with a system alert message in a bubble in the corner of the screen.

i looked it up and found that there is a virus that tells you that you have a virus just like that. but i have found no solutions that have worked so far. The virus had more to it before, with all kinds of windows poping up as advertisements for free antivirus software (which i found are ALSO viruses) and a window poping up telling me specific viruses i have. but all but the thing in the corner of the screen are gone. via other anti viruses.

Does anyone know what i can use to fix this virus?
i would type in the exact message that comes up in the corner of the screen but its not there long enough and only comes every 10 minutes or so. someone please help me!

I know that viruses can mess with installed software, but can they cause system hardware to fail? How can this be? I want the truth.

(I can handle the truth.)

By having two Anti-virus systems working on the same computer, am I compromising anything? Is there any sense in having two systems installed at the same time?

I just bought a new computer and the question was to have content advisor to limit what your kids could do and I want to remove it because we all have to put in a password anytime we access anything. It is a pain.

I have done many malware scans, defragged, check/scan disk..ALL to no avail. Have heard of registry adjustments and some Hive Clean-ups. These appear to be "forcing the issue". Some suggest going through Task Manager to delete some processes that I do not use yet the computer was "born" with. If they were there before this issue arose....there must be some other reason...???

Hi, I want to get a paid subscription for Anti-spam, anti-virus, and anti-hack etc. Which company is the best? I recently found out that i have a lot of viruses on my computer. I have McAfee but that was just a trial and it ended two years ago. I downloaded the free versions of Spy Sweeper, and Adware SE Personal. SpySweeper requires me to pay in order to remove the spyware, but Adware SE Personal lets me quarantine and remove the spyware and adware but it has limited functionality. Which one should i buy? Name any brand that you know is good.
