most of computer viruses and parasites are inactive in safe mode, so antivirus can erase them easier.

working 2 antiviruses makes you computing gadget particularly sluggish, yet does not supply from now on or much less protection. the priority you have is your utilising 2 that don't paintings o.k.. The 4 test kit i exploit in computing gadget restoration are Avast loose antivirus for its boot time test selection, that shows what others pass over because of the fact it scans throughout the time of a boot and not interior the homestead windows atmosphere. I additionally after scanning with, that use Malwarebytes (as much as date), and do an intensive test with it. Then spybot seek and smash, and then Combofix. It sounds like overkill yet all 4 have there very own unique understanding, which skill one shows what the others ignored. while executed removing the mess, i might propose removing all different antiviruses and setting up Comodo's cyber web kit. It has sturdy antivirus, malware/browser protection, and a firewall lots extra advantageous then the homestead windows huge-unfold firewall. And its loose. continuously make beneficial what ever test gadget or antivirus and so on. is a hundred% as much as date earlier scanning, there purely as sturdy because of the fact the coaching base they seek from.

There are computer experts on QandA...
These are step by step instructions
System Startup Optimization & spyware removal
Identify running tasks that are not needed
- Download and install Autoruns @ http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Autoruns.zip
Select 'Everything' Tab
Click the Options Menu > Check All 3 Items in the list
Uncheck everything in the list (unless you know you want it running)
Click the Save button and Click Save
Click the Refresh button
Write down all processes that are checked (and the path to the program file)
ie: Isamonitor.exe : c:\program files\videocompressioncodec\isamonitor.exe
ie: Pmsngr.exe : c:\program files\videocompressioncodec\pmsngr.exe
Turn the power off on the computer (without shutting down, and not while the hdd is spinning)
Restart in safe mode and delete the programs that you wrote down...
then shut it down and boot it back up.

When you run an anti virus program you have to have everything else shut down or it can take alot longer. You don't need to have it in safe mode unless your computer is really bad but based on the fact you can still get on-line I don't think its that bad. I suggest downloading and using Avast (avast.com) it is a free and thorough program that will catch most viruses on your computer now and keep anymore from creeping up on you. Good Luck!

Most people suggest safe mode so this way not so many things are running.
I don't think the internet on or off can affect it THAT much, but then again, I am no expert.
I highly suggest googling your problem to get SPECIFIC Instructions on how to cure your problem.
I highly suggest these programs (most are free)
Ad-Aware
Spybot
Zone Alarm
AVG.
Hope your computer problems get solved!

do it in safe mode - when in safe mode there are only essential programs working therefore less chance of a virus running and hindering the clean up.

There are several online antivirus programs beside Panda. However I am yet to know of one program that can catch all types of viruses. If you have an antivrus program on your pc, you should disable all the startup programs, disable system restore and restart your comupter in safemode and run the antivrus program.
After that, try to restart your pc and run one of the following online services and see what you find:
http://housecall.antivirus.com
http://safety.live.com
http://security.symantec.com/
http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx
Good luck!

You can use McAfee virus scan or AVG 7.5.If you can't do anything,get CD of your Windows(boutable CD)and install new Windwos and after that log in to your Windows and install Anti-Virus i said to you.Check it for virus and delete the viruses and go to your old Windows and delete your last Windows(that you install it with boutable CD and if your problem solved or you don't like 2 Windows delete your last Windows)

first of all tell what virus do when it is active
and then also zonealarm antivirus+firewall would be good for you
install it , update it and then run full system scan in safe mode
safe mode is better for virus removal scan
