I have a dell laptop. I have like 5 virus protection on my dell laptop. I click delete but, they keep popping up with stuff like you have a virus. How do I make the virus protection acutally leave my computer?

Hello. You are trying to remove it from your system? Try clicking start-control panel- add/remove and then find the item and remove it that way. The other way might be to run a search on it and item by item drag it to the recycle bin. The downside to this is that some stubborn dll kernels linger around that you may not get rid of. I'd read that if you do it in safe mode it would work, but when I tried doing it in safe mode it didn't work. I'd look over at pcworld.com for some tips. You could try getting a registry cleaner to find broken ones after doing the item by item deletion to fix it up. Aside from that I'd say the Ashampoo software would be that trick... but it's not free. Good luck.

As the other answerers have stated...there are many, many providers of anti virus protection... My only suggestion, after finding a good one, is to delete all others. You shud never have more the one virus protection.. They conflict with another... Same goes for firewalls...You CAN have more than one SPYWARE protector....good luck

If you have a Mac, don't bother.
If you have windows then you have lots and lots of options.
You can buy software from industry leaders like McAfee, Norton Anti virus. You should also install a spyware protection like spyware Doctor.

You only need 1 antivirus program too many conflict with each
other and eat your system resources alive and cause havoc
in your registry.
I wouldn't want to be the guy cleaning up that mess.
