I get alot of pop ups and even when i´m not on the internet i get a window that says messenger service telling me i have certain viruses and that i need to download registry update from regfixit.com my homepage keeps getting changed to www.iupdatepage.com, downloaded spybot search and destroy and that didn´t work, i look in my programs list and i have programs that i have used before and know they don´t cause these viruses. i get toolbars that install themselves! and programs installing themselves too, and my computer is going slow although i just reinstalled windows yesterday, what can i do about this.

Avast Antivirus and Zone Alarm Pro.. both are perfect for a trouble free PC (if you use net). I used to be a big fan of AVG, but go damn their update servers are so slow (or at least, were when I switched) and there are hardly and major updates to the interface and such. Thanks god Avast is equally good, and they update (mostly adding new features) regularly."
Good luck!

Get firefox asap .Also You will need to get your computer checked by an hijackthis expert . You need to stop the messenger service which is giving you a false alert .This is because you have a very old version of windows xp and need to run windows update .

I would recommend you format your computer, this would erase everything your computer has, even Windows, then install windows by booting from DOS. Your computer will run faster and you get rid of most of the viruses. But you should really backup the files you would like to save.

You need to get an antivirus for your computer if you dont have one already - something like AVG or Norton. If you have thoese but still get syware then you can try to run Windows defender from the Microsoft site....www.microsoft.com - if that doesn't work to go download.com and download adware that will run and clean out the spyware.
Hope it works.

go to microsoft pc scan, its free, and microsoft will remove any spyware etc, (it takes them quite a while), but it is worth it.
while on their site, "after" they remove any unwanted program etc, try downloading their DEFENDER beta 2, it works A1.
Also, if you need anti virus, go to grisoft, for free avg. good luck.
