I have a problem with a near-new computer. Somehow I got a self-replicating spyware or virus that is hidden itself in the Windows Temp folder and keeps growing more files. It has been classified by all my security software as "Adware." I ran my antivirus and spyware programs (BitDefender, SpySweeper and other free spyware/virus programs I have) and nothing seems to get rid of it. CCleaner can't delete these files either. I think that either BitDefender or SpySweeper tried to quarantine the suspect virus or spyware and was unable to. If I right-click on any of these files and click "delete" I get "Can't read from source file or disk." Every time I have tried to re-run the scans, the files have duplicated themselves. At this point I am up to about 1,000 files and over 200MB. They are all in the C:\Windows\Temp folder so I think I can safely delete them. Does anybody know a program or utility I can use to force delete these files? Please let me know. Thank you for your help!

e.g one id for normal internet uses, other for internet banking transactions, other for rail/air ticket bookings, other for those sites which ask for ur id, other for adult sites. if yes then whether for security purpose we should have different passwords for these id and if again yes, then how to keep remember all these. in addition to these we need to remember credit card /ATM passwords also.

I have an older brother that has a program on his computer that can find out what website i am currently on. and, you know the History toolbar on top of the internet? well, the history from that toolbar transfers into my older brother's internet history instead. In other words, the history on my internet transfers automatically and immediately into my brother's computer. and he can do the same with my chatting online. he can see what i'm typing to send to my friends, and what my friends send back. How do i get my history back from my brother? i don't want my brother's computer to be knowing what websites i go to. So the basic question is: How do i start getting history inside my History toolbar again? or how do i put some kind of private force-field around my internet session? I NEED SOMEONE'S HELP. IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!! SOMEONE OUT THERE, THERE'S A PERSON IN NEED OF INTERNET ASSISTANCE!!!

When I get a email apparently from Ebay member, but without my name, about something I haven't traded on, and not in My Ebay.
I send it to spoof@ebay.co.uk if it is a spoof they tell me, otherwise they say it is genuine, so I have to send it to them as spam by copying and pasting.
I then get an automatic email telling me to forward the email to spoof@ebay.co.uk

Surely ebay should make it as easy as possible to report security risks?
It is hard work having to copy and paste an email and separate the text from the headers, and time consuming.
The last time I sent a spam under the same circumstances they replied it wasn't genuine.

.I was browsing the net earlier today when all a sudden youtube opened up for a few seconds, and then close and a popup error message appeared

(title of error message) youtube IS BANNED

"youtube is banned you fool,The administrators didnt write this program guess who did??"

"MUHAHAHA!!"

(The grammar mistakes are intentional.. this is a transcript)

And an audio clip of evil laughter (sorta like as in the message) plays.. now if I try typing youtube in the address bar, IE closes and that same message with the audio clip comes up! I've tried clearing my cache but that doesn't seem to work.

I also tried using Mozilla FireFox but it says,

(Error message title) USE INTERNET EXPLORER YOU DOPE

"I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE OR ELSE..."

Don't know if it matters, but, also..

I haven't visited youtube in weeks..

And, the error message seems to automatically close after 5 seconds.

Has this happened to anyone else so far? Any suggestions?

On an a different computer, I have CA security center. The firewall, spy ware blocker and virus blocker are all enabled. We have firefox, internet explorer, and windows vista.

Around two months ago, we switched from a free trial to the free CA, but the internet on the computer is basically unusable. Videos won't load most of the time, pictures only load half the time, headings are messed up, and the pages take around 3 minutes or longer to load. The computer also randomly crashes, something it didn't do before.

My father, who rarely uses the computer's internet downloaded it and refuses switch to a new one. He says I don't know what I'm talking about (which I understand I don't). He's a computer engineer so whenever I mention it he says that he's fiddling with it. Its been two months and nothing has changed.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I won't be able to do anything about it because after I mentioned it he forbid me to touch it, but I'm curious.
