Answer 2

I would suggest that you invest in some sort of anti virus software ASAP
but for now - try doing an online check at Trend Micro site listed below - it will require you to download a file so that it can get in to your computer to complete the online virus scan:

Hi, there are two things you can do, if money is not tight I would suggest that buy something like Mcafee CD virus security then pop the cd in the computer before you start it, boot from the cd then run visus checker from that.
Failing that if money is tight but you have access to the internet, I would suggest that you down load the free virus program called AVG you can find this http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1 hope this helps you

Answer 4

AVG from Grisoft. It's free

http://www.grisoft.com/doc/products-avg-anti-virus-free-edition/lng/us/tpl/tpl01

I have been using this for about the last five years and never had a single virus. I used to use Norton and was completely bombarded by viruses. Don't use Norton.

Norton gets on with things its self in the background!

Answer 6

It sounds like it ain't a pandemic, in case you utilize or have used outlook, it might desire to easily be this utility working and failing, no depend if that's, then launch that utility and verify your sent folder and spot in case you sent a digital mail with a dodgy attachment (many times and *.exe that's completly sparkling). besides the shown fact that in the time of answer on your question "what's the worlds superb anti-virus utility...?", purely to be cocky, i say linux! yet heavily try kapersky, and if that fails, make an apointment at your interior of reach pc shop

Answer 7

You may need to switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for home use;

You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.
http://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall OR
http://www.comodogroup.com/ - Comodo firewall.

You need to install one anti virus;
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ -AVG anti virus or
http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus

You need all three anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Also use Microsoft Defender and their online scans.

And these are useful utilities;
http://www.mozilla.com/ - Firefox web browser.
http://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool
Winpatrol is a handy utility that manages cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder.

Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.

http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm - The Spyware Warrior site identifies fake anti spyware programs.
