Answer 1

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.
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.

Answer 2

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Yes, I know a perfect website, first, with vast information on SpyLocked and second, free scan to detect SpyLocked and other spyware as well, and of course, the instructions on how to remove SpyLocked. I suggest you remove SpyLocked immediately! SpyLocked, also known as SpywareLocked, is the new version of SpyDawn and should NOT be trusted. The trojan Zlob has installed in your computer and won't stop popping warning messages intended to trick you into downloading the full version of SpyLocked.

Answer 4

Dont use all that software when you can get a online scan that doesnt even have to install on your pc you can get free online scans that dont even fight with the anti-virus already on your pc you can get a online scan from Trend Micro F-Secure Kapersky which all have the best online scanners [the online scanners are better then there own software on your pc]

Answer 5

You can do that all on your own on most of your internet browsers. Firefox: Go to Tools > Clear private data > check whatever you want and click "Clear private data now" Internet Explorer: Can't really help much here, I'm not too savvy with IE although I think it's the same general deal. Go to Tools > Options (or whatever it is) and search around until you find something along the lines of "clear private data" Unless you're afraid of people coming on your computer and logging onto sites with your saved passwords, you should be fine. Cookies won't do you much harm, they're mostly for yours and the website's convenience, and browsing history shouldn't reveal too much about you unless people have your password.
