Question

the computer stops the Anti Vir from scaning.It says To help protect your security,your web browser has restricted this file from showing active contents that could access your computer. and I think I have a worm called dr/shopper.c

Answer 1

Something has interfered with the security settings in Internet Explorer to prevent some web based applications from running. If you're not confident changing the settings in tools-internet options then find a trusted expert. Or else BUY a branded security package.

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.
