Security - December 2007

I sucessfully removed the virus by running several spyware programs. I got it checked by Norton and McAfee and they said I was clean. But now my internet broswer no longer worls like before. I used IE, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Opera but Flash (as in games) and videos no longer work on my compter. Any tips / ideas?

Ok, so I am a kid... please dont lecture me on how its wrong to look up porn I know and I feel really guilty about it. But I have 2 questions:

1)How would I remove all traces of it from my harddrive or computer

2)So, I have never actually downloaded porn. I have just looked at it on some websites, like gone to a website clicked on a picture or watched a movie. But I have never actually downloaded anything to my computer, does this still show up on my harddrive even after I cleared the history? (Even though nothing was ever downloaded?)

Well, hope you have an answer for me. And again I say please dont tell me how wrong it is, I already know and want to stop, actually I did. But I just got a pop-up saying "remove all traces of porn" so I didnt know how or if I needed to.

PS: If this includes downloading a FREE scan (must be free) how do I get rid of that afterwards?

Hi, I'm looking for a free, accurate online WHOIS IP lookup site that also has geolocation. I once stumbled on one so many months ago that allowed me to check an IP address and then pinpoint on Google Maps just exactly where that person lives. Unfortunately, I reformatted my PC since then and I lost my bookmarks. :/

Anyway, can someone please be kind enough to point me to a similar site? The Geolocation tool is crucial.

And if you're wondering what I'm going to use it for, I'm currently trying to get rid of a pest on my blog. Hehehe... Thanks!

Ok Everyone at school says "Man you gotta watch this video its sick!" so im like ok. But when i try to watch it (First mistake) it asks me to download a codec and i clicked cancel and moved on. Then i saw another link and it asked same thing so i downloaded it (for whatever reason) and i just found out that: Yay i downloaded a virus... How can i remove it. Whenever i try to open an application it says:
Your browser was hijacked by Trojan.Win32.Agent.akk
You need to clean your system immediately, in other casr it can be crashed soon!

Click OK to download the high-tech antispyware protection software!(Recommended)

I click no everytime because i think its gonna make it wors because of "high-tech" doesnt sound like something windows would say. I used a scanner and found Trojan.Vundo file and it said it may have secretly installed itself downloading a plugin or codec but i cant remove it without buy ing full version! Any ideas??!!

I have set up my talk talk wifi router. When I set it up it was supposed to give me a code which allowed me to stop other wifi users in the area accessing my wifi connection but I wasn't given this code.

Does anyone know how I can get this code ?

Malware removal is my primary income source, but I've never taken the time to research why teenagers are the most dangerous thing to Microsoft Windows today. It seems that they download and install everything that ever pops up, along with looking for free stuff and surfing the most risky sites of all. I want to know the details.

My pc boots up too slow and I need to clean it out. I did all the things I thought was necessary like disk scan, defrag and deleting cookies. What else can I do and be safe? I did a recovery too and now I am receiving spam email. Help
