I purchased this computer from eMachines in January. The McAfee it came with expired and my husband refuses to let me renew it (I know, I know). Several times an hour I get this irritating pop up and alarm that tells me my McAfee needs to be renewed. I can't find anything that will let me turn it off. Is there something I can do to get rid of this nuisance?

Yes I know we need it but he refuses to spend money on it and I'm a stay at home mom. Reasoning with him on this is out of the question. I just want to quit seeing the pop up at this point.

I have a windows xp computer that has trojan downloaders on it. I tried a basic system restore but when I get to the desk top, the trojan is still there; my newly restored computer says there are virus (again).

I tried an ADVANCED system restore but after it completes, it does not go the blue setup screen. It keeps restarting over and over again. ( You know, the screen that asks if you can hear sound and what not).

Is there a program/software I can just buy that when inserted into the computer, it wipes out that nasty trojan?

thank you

I want to do a safe mode run and clean out my system a little. I heard that Safe Mode is beneficial for that. my concerns are

1 Will I be able to get it back to normal
2.What programs would be safe to run in Safe mode or should I run(as far as cleaning is concerned)
3. Will I still be able to run Spyware and Anti-Virus programs
4. What do the different Safe mode options mean(Safe Mode with Networking and some other one)
5. Will it delete or destroy any important files.
6. and as a last resort will I be able to get on the internet(if I need some advice on how to fix any problems that I may have)

recently my USB was infected by worm of I don't know the name specifically, and it continuously creates a "new folder" in each and every folder that I have stored in there including the drive itself in which inside the drive also has a "new folder" in it.

e.g: G:/New Folder

and each time I access that empty new folder my pc slows down and the YIM sends messages to all my contacts of an unknown language. I have deep freeze so it cannot harm my system. only my USB, even though I format it several times the "new folder" kept on creating itself.

I have a new Windows Vista Home Premium that came with a free McAfee trial. Now that it's over, a window on the bottom right-hand corner keeps popping up. The only two options on the window are "Update Subscription" and "Remind me later". There is no "Do not show this window again" button.
How do I deal with this?

My computer indicates that I have several viruses. I purchased a software cleaner called Registry Defender. When I started to install it I got spooked because I got an alert asking If I was sure I wanted to enter a space that was insecure or something like that. I am not computer smart. I can still use my computer but every time I sign on there is antispyware alert. HELP!!!

When I got my computer I purchased the McAfee Firewall Plus and VirusScan with it. It came with a CD that I uploaded to my computer and then I had the Personal Firewall Plus and VirusScan working fine. But now it says,"0 days left!Your Anti-Hacker Protection Has Expired!
Always browse, bank and shop online with up-to-date firewall protection. McAfee makes it easy to choose the right solution."
I would like someone to explain how my anti-hacker protection has expired, meaning for some reason the Firewall and not the VirusScan, if I bought the software and downloaded it to my computer?
