Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

I have yet to find any free anti-virus software that is even worth putting on your computer. There are a few anti-spyware programs that are alright but I would just by it. You can get everything for under 70 dollars a year and it is well worth it .
I would go with Norton's as far as your worm problem. Get it install it and make sure keep it updated and scan your computer on a regular basis. I would get sum anti-spyware software also. If you have a worm No doubt your computer is loaded with spyware.
Like I said you can get all three things for 70 dollars- antivirus software/ anti-spyware software/ and a registry fix if you want it will make your computer run super smooth.
Note: after you install what ever anti-virus software you have choosen. It might not get the worm of your computer, but it will tell you were it is located. Write down the location restart your computer and press F8 as it is rebooting when it gives you the option press restart in safe mode. When it starts the screen will look a little different but that is because the computer is only running what it absolutly needs to run. Go to the location of your worm and delete it and make sure you delete everything in the trash after just to make sure . now just restart your computer.

The only anti-spyware and Registry scan that I will use are at
http://free-spyware-nuker.com although it not totally free you do get a few scans for free.

http://registry-nuker.com is where I get the registry fix software your computer will be running smooth after that.

there are many types of soft plastics worms out there...ranging from the old time favorite straight-tailed worms to the new shaky head worms...worms of different shapes have there own unique presentation...as an example, a senko is usually rigged wacky-style...and a jig is used to swim a straight-tailed worm...try rigging the worms weightless with a texas hook which is half of the size of the worm...you can rig the worms weedless and swim it through the thickness pile of grass you would ever find...anyway try using worms to catch fish...you never know...you might have the largest catch of your life using a plastic senko!! good luck in trying!!

use
Kaspersky internet security suite Anti-Virus 6.0
scan pc in safe mode


Offensive rootkits, which are used hide malware programs and maintain an undetectable presence on an infected machine, have become the weapon of choice for virus and spyware writers and, because they often use kernel hooks to avoid detection,

use
Kaspersky internet security suite Anti-Virus 6.0
scan pc in safe mode

lets get that out of ur pc ur some antivirus will miss key keylogger and trojans . frist of all you need to download avg antispyware this is verry good in getting all kinda bad files . then you need to download Adaware
a-squared< is verry good in picking up traking software files that is on the pc and it will find them . then download antispyware blocker that will find any type of virus . trojans files with antispyware blocker when you run that at the top of the box ur see
C:\ WINDOWS
remove the word windows and just leave in

C:\

then hit scan it will search all of the pc every file for virus or trojans and this will not have any problem with ur antivirus you have i have this my self .

then download spyware doctor that will search the pc for even more spyware adaware . just having 1 or 2 antispyware dont cut any ice at all you neeed what i said to download . when you have them run ur pc in safemode and scan the pc with then 1 at a time . this way from safemode the trojan and keylogger cant hide them self coz there is not internet access on in safe mode all the software i said to download will get the trojans and keylogger

if they say some are in the registry you watch what path there in and get in the registry and right hit on that folder and hit remove dont worry when the pc restart up win xp will creat a new clean folder for you

For antispyware, I recommend spy-bot search and destroy, Ad-Ad-ware SE Personal, (can be downloaded from www.download.com) and AVG Antispyware(AVG Home Page)
For firewall, I recommend Comodo firewall and Zone-alarm firewall.
For anti-spam, Comodo Anti spam is also a good choice.
For anti-virus, I prefer AVG anti-virus (www.download.com)
I have been using the above software and felt that they were great.

Above software are all free of licence for private use.

Give up using Windows, and install Linux on your computer. Linux is immune to all viruses, malware, spyware and adware.

BE COOL - GET LINUX
