Security - December 2007

Ok this is what comes up on the top border of my screen!

"Warning: possible spyware or adware infection! Click here to scan your computer for spyware and adware..."

I can't exit it out. If I click it it takes me to another screen. I had the search and destroy thing on it. Then i had superantispyware then I tried the adware. None of those wrok to keep the pop-ups away! I already have mcaffee on this but it's useless. what do i do?

I'm trying to unblock Windows Live Messenger on my Windows XP Home Edition. I can access my firewall, however the two buttons 'configure' and 'disable' are nowhere to be found when I open my firewall. Do I have to be logged in to the master Rogers-Yahoo email account to see those buttons? I'm logged in on the admin account for the actual computer.

How can I remove a virus named "Worm.Win32.NetSky?" I've never had a virus, but I am getting warnings every couple of minutes telling me I may be infected. Also, my computer is crawling. This is my work computer. I told my boss previously that we need protection, but now look. Is there a way to kill the virus without losing my files?

and it says something to the effect that you are assigned to a DHCP? My physical address is a mac adress, and my ip address is under a dhcp server? Is that the way that the network connection status is supposed to be set on a xp computer? What the heck is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, why does it exsist?

Hi!
I have Norton Antivirus (not Norton Internet Security) and because of the firewall I can't use some programs that need access to the internet. The problem is that in the Norton website the instructions they give to turn off the firewall are for Internet Security instead of the Antivirus. Does anyone know how I can turn the firewall off?

I just downloaded Norton Security 2008 version
and it downloaded, but when I come up on the
computer I noticed that Norton says that I do not
have anti.virus protection. Since I am on the
computer very little and my bank has there own
protection, do I need anti virus protection as
I am protected in other areas by Norton Security,
and if I do need it is there a web site where I can
download anti virus protection at no additional
cost since I paid for the Norton Security 2008 to
be installed.

I'm planning to buy Kaspersky's anti-virus software that has spyware included. Wasn't sure if their spyware was going to be that good because it seems like more of an add on. I was thinking of getting Spy Doctor for my anti spyware ap. What do you think? Should I get another anti spyware ap and is it ok if I use both at the same time (Kaspersky and Spy Doctor)?
