Answer 1

Try these...

First and foremost, these are MY opinions and have experience several machines that had these on them,
as well as users using these product. Not to mention that I have ran each and every one of these myself
so as to not confuse those that think that I have not.
My findings in these products are useless and sometimes scare the normal user.
Also, these products are not for the normal user as normal user do not take the time to read the
manuals/docs for what they download and or buy, they just want to install and use.



Stop using the following software:
-- AVG --
-Avg has been known to report false positives, also reports "tracking cookies" as "Trojan downloaders".
This is bad practice to me, scaring the user half to death because that's all that we hear on the news
anymore is about Trojans, Worms and Virus'
-Maybe free, but be aware that this product is not the normal product that you would put on a machine.
Most if not all of your experts will tell you to leave this alone, avoid it like the plaque

-- Ad Aware SE --
-Ad Aware is a dangerous program if you do not know how to set it up, although it comes with the basic
'normal' user settings, those that go messing about will find after changing the settings, will remove
things from the Windows System and then be stuck in a bad situation.

-- Spybot Search and Destroy --
-Same as Ad Aware Se

-- Ewido --
-Made By AVG NOW, although AVG (Grisoft) bought them out or merged (which ever you avgt fanatics prefer)
this product does the same as their software (av) and scares the user (see above AVG)

-- McAfee --
-System Hog. Although this product is and has been around for decades, it still isn't that great of a
product as it eats up resources like a hungry dog.

-- Housecalls --
-Not a bad product, but installs while online and no option(s) to UNinstall it.

-- Trendmicro --
-Not a bad product, but installs while online and no option(s) to UNinstall it.

-- Panda --
-Not a bad product, but installs while online and no option(s) to UNinstall it.

-- Norton --
-System Hog. Although this product is and has been around for decades, it still isn't that great of a
product as it eats up resources like a hungry dog.
-Also this product has to use it's own UNinstaller to get rid of it, even if you take it out of Add Remove
and reboot your system, this pain in the **** software prompts the user to reinstall or it auto does it

-- eTrust --
-Now owned by CA MS used to ship this with it's Feb 2004 Security Update CD set. ( I know I have it ) and what
a load of rubbish.

-- Kaspersky --
-Maybe free, but be aware that this product is not the normal product that you would put on a machine.
Most if not all of your experts will tell you to leave this alone, avoid it like the plaque

Answer 2

This is not a problem at all. Here's what you need to do.
1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, CA, spyhunter, superantispyware, avast, panda, kaspersky, windows defender or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE when it comes to spyware and antivirus. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That's the only good software from Norton. I wouldn't recommend Norton Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. This is Elite software. It blocks over 433,000 definition threats, which contain several fringerprints with each(you can do the math). No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. It catches everything and has active shields. I've used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, (Optional) I recommend a Firewall from Zone Alarm, their free version is so good. Or you can buy their Pro version, but the free version will do more than the job.
5th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail or IM. I guarenDAMNtee my answers and will help you in person from IM if needed.

Answer 3

You need to install a better anti virus program. If you do not have an anti virus program, install one of the two below.

1.Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html...
2.AVG Free: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/downloads-products/us/frt/0?prd=aff

If you don't want to install an anti-virus, then scan your system with one of the online scanners.

3.Trend House Call: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
4.Panda Active Scan: http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm

Answer 4

Install a anti virus program.

AVG Free or Avast are good and both are free.

Do a Free on-line scan from Trend House Calls.

Answer 5

start up in safe mode by pressing f8 when your computer is starting and then select safe mode.

Once in there run your virus scan

this will stop any possable viruses from loading with windows so the scanner will be able to remove it
