Question

AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER KEEPS FLASHING

Answer 1

Whoa! so many people seem to be affected out there by it! I got rid of it yesterday itself. Its very nasty and you will need to do the System Restore to remove it. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. Restore your computer's configuration to some earlier configuration, when it was not there, and then restart your computer. After that, scan your computer thoroughly with your anti-virus. If you do not have an anti-virus, you can get the free AVG from the following link, update it and then scan your system. It will detect a worm, get rid of that. That will do! :-)

Answer 2

I think you mean Virus Burster (which is a rogue program), not Virus Buster (which is a legit program). Virus Bursters is a rogue program that is installed by a trojan called Zlob. Zlob infects a computer and starts generating warning messages in hopes of scaring users into buying Virus Bursters. Download SpyNoMore to scan your PC, it is very effective against the Zlob trojan.

By the way it is not free, but then again you should really question any so-called free solution. Isn't that how your computer got infected in the first place?!. The free scan will only check your system and show you the infections. If you choose to remove them, be prepared to pay.

Answer 5

rather of doing on line scans, the terrific element of do is purchase something like norton or spysweeper. (norton to verify information for viruses and spysweeper to get rid of spyware and malware) They artwork truly nicely. additionally, in case you employ any form of document proportion (limewire, kazaa, napster, etc), those are actual information you're retreiving from yet another unknown person, so its truly basic to piggyback information onto those you're downloading and its even much less complicated to easily call the virus document the call of what you're in seek of for and you willingly get carry of the document. in case you're finding those web sites, pay attention of information that are ridiculously small. which includes in case you're in seek of for a music document, it relatively is going to be extra effective than a megabite. So, if there are music information that are approximately 2kb, its in all probability in straightforward terms a virus shrouded as a songfile. And, unforutnately as somebody already stated, **** is the main infamous for viruses, so in case you're being undesirable, be extra careful! additionally, in no way, ever click on those unsolicited mail emails you get or those classified ads on myspace. those myspace video games could be relaxing to click on after which you would be able to easily close the popup afterwards, yet each so often they are able to log your IP handle as having "expressed interest" when you consider which you volentarily clicked on it. finally, determine despite digital mail device you're employing has an computerized document scanner once you get carry of information from emails (like Yahoo Mail does). in basic terms because of fact the forwarded comedian tale digital mail got here from yoru terrific pal does not advise that did no longer comprehend that they have got been forwarding the viruses, too.
