Hi! I have 6 kinds of worms, and one trojan horse on my computer!( I do alot of downloading) I'm asking this question to those who have an antivirus program. Which kind of antivirus software really works? I do have AVG free, but that doesn't work!( It found one kind of virus, but didn't delete it) I'm willing to pay any thing for the antivirus software.
Thanks!!!

The first step is to remove the Malware from your computer. I recommend you do a few Online scans and removals. All these site do remove what they find.

Something is really wrong here! avg does not find the worms? what are the names of the worms?
Do an online virus scan to check and remove virus and spyware if you still have viruses on your computer. And let us know if the online virus scan still finds any virus or spyware .

Run Secunia Software Inspector (top of the page) http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/ .Securina will tell you which of your software is outdated and have bugs in them through which the spyware are entering.
If you still have question or problems let the experts take a look at whats happening on your computer.Visit the HijackThis Logs and Analysis forum.

Norton always worked for me. The problem is once you get a virus it can sometimes keep you from loading or installing a virus program to fix the problem. If you know the name of the worm or virus you can go to www.symantec.com and get a fix for just that specific worm or trojan and get rid of it but it won't help you identify the other ones. Be aware of that which is free. There's usually a cost somewhere.

Hi my dear friend
See worm and trojan are not pure virus it is just spyware if you are ready to pay for this software then you purchase it
this spyware are not removed from antivirus software because of i faced the same problem if you dont want to purchase then download the trial version and crack it with easy crack.net and removed your spyware and unistalled it and then use your internet OK

U better fully format ur computer> Install windows again. Its just bcoz of u visit some harmful web site or downloaded something next be careful about that and please dont download that free anti-virus softwares those are spy-ware or viruses so be careful about that too. Dont even install norton bcoz those are the people who make viruses send them to the norton users and then norton delete the virus so thats why people think norton is pretty good.

What are you doing that you have so much parasites on your computer? You have to use anti-spyware programs to get rid of those worms and trojans. Worms and trojans are very dangerous, they can harm your computer. Read more about these parasites and remove them. Don't download untrusted files.

1st: go to tools, then Internet options, then delete temp files, passwords, and history.
2nd: run Spybot (www.spybot.com)
3rd: Defragment, under your Accessories (go to Start,programs,Accessories,System Tools,then Defragment
4th: definitely Run AdAware Se (www/adaware.com - get SE!!)
5th: go to Start,then Help and Support, Tools (Bottom right), finally Disk Cleanup. And do what Oddball (above) says.
When you get a chance buy the full Zone Alarm Suite...this will help your future.
Hardly worth it to pull up those "fun" sites is it?
