I went on this site and i think it downloaded some sort of virus or spyware on my computer. Now, I keep recieving pop ups. I have a firewall installed as well as symantec, spybot search and destroy and lavasoft adaware remover. Ive ran all these programs multiple times but im still recieving the pop ups.
When i run symantec it detects some spyware and removes them but after start up i still keep recieving the pop ups?
What can i do?
I think the program thats causing this is "winantivirus". But, Symantec is reporting it deleted. There are also a few threats found that it says : action taken "left alone"
These files are
Trojan.awax
class4.htm

Any Thoughts

For a long time I've rec'd phishing scam e-mails claiming to be from ebay - nothing new there. They say "click here" on a link and use lots of methods to hide the real URL desitnation. For some months I've noticed that the phishers are using real URLs at legit companies that redirect to the phishers' sites. I figured this hole would be closed quickly, but not so far. One hole is at ebayobjects.com, which actually is registered to Doubleclick. Example (mucked/cleaned up): h_ttp://us.ebayobjects.com/6k;h=h_ttp://**PHISHER_IP_ADDRESS**/eBayISAPI.dll-SignIn/index.php
Doubleclick must know about this but must be unwilling to fix it. Does anyone know the legit reason DClick allows/needs this redirect functionality to be available to its customers? In any event, I do wonder how they get away with this w/o having a major PR problem?

they don't anymore. I need to be able to get product pictures through my emails. These are pictures that I have been given the okay to put on my website on the condition that I buy from them! (Some companies do change their policy after they make some sales!) The main thing is I need a firewall program that allows product pictures to come through in email and attachments! Anyone know of such?

I click the "more information" line and I'm told that some sites have invalid security certificates or expired security certificates, thus not allowing me access to sites I have regularly visited in the past. Red warning signals pop up on my toolbar and a page shows up recommended me to leave the website. A red shield also shows up on the toolbar alongside the words "certificate errors". I don't know what to do, because the sites I go to are necessary for me to access. It just started appearing within the last week, even though I did nothing to change things like adding programs.

It was recommended to put in the chest. Ok, I did all this. Now, what? Do I delete them and if so how do I do it? It shows an icon, refresh, why would I want to refresh those viruses? Just confused and do not want those viruses in my computer.
PLEASE HELP!

There was point this afternoon where my mail on the Yahoo webpage was changing from bold, which meant that my laptop was picking up the mail. Can Yahoo trace the IP where the mail is being picked up and help the police locate it?

My Husband thinks it may eve4n be some kind of virus? I would like to know if anyone else is having same problems.
