VIRUS REMOVAL:

this is a realll P.I.A. !!!

THE 1ST PART YOU NEED TO DO offline:
run anti-virus program
run anti spyware program
shut down System Restore
clear cookies
clear temp files
clear history
clear pre-fetch folder
clear out ALL emails starting at 2-3 days ago or when you 1st knew you were infected in:
ALL folders
sent
trash
junk

bookmarks or favorites folder in I.E. or Firefox

as you can see,there's QUITE a bit of work ahead of you.

shut down System Restore:
virus/spyware can hide in your system restore points so we shall delete all previous restore links hiding places by turning system restore OFF.
later,when we finish,we'll turn it back on,set up a new [ CLEAN ] restore to work from in the future.
hopefully,lol,you'll never need it !

XP Home:

start

settings
check the OFF link

Pre-Fetch File Cleaning

pre-fetch files are "cached" or stored copies of files/websites you visit each session
after a period of time,these files hog up a LOT of disk space
for this reason,i advocate the deletion weekly of those space hogs
some claim that windows will automatically remove files older than 7 days
I have found MY pc does NOT perform this task so I do it manually
what happens is,when you go to a website,your pc looks into your pre-fetch file/folder
to see if that website is "cached",stored there FIRST
this gives you a faster website load,BUT,you get the "cached" version and NOT the NEWEST version
unless you have "check for newest version" checked in internet options
it may take that website 1/2 a second longer to load
but,you'll get the newest version loading each time

as added security,spyware removers often miss these files,so delete them manually.

My Computer,disk drive [c],windows,pre-fetch,view,select... all,select delete

same situation with Temp files:
Temp File Folder

i use Disk Clean to clean up extraneous files i no longer need
however,every time i use Disk Clean,it DOESN'T clean out c:\windows\Temp Files!
solution?
My Computer,local disk drive [c],windows,temp
you can safely delete each temp file there.
i leave the most current [that day] alone.
also,do not delete any FOLDER there
folders have a folder icon,leave alone
[ Vista,it's Computer ]

Firefox Web Browser:
tools
options
content
check block pop ups

load images automatically:
exceptions:
enter those websites addresses that show up on pop ups that appear AFTER you close a browser window
also add those same urls to
Privacy
Cookies
Exceptions

there are a number of kewl Security add on firefox extensions i use and they are:

Step #1: Remove spyware with Windows Add/Remove Programs utility.

Sometimes all it takes to get rid of spyware say like AntiVirGear, is to remove the program using the Add/Remove Programs control panel in Windows.

In Windows XP Professional, click on Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
In Windows 2000 Professional / Windows ME / Windows 98, click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
In the list of programs, search for the software you want to remove. If you see a program you don’t recognize or don’t recall installing, look it up in Google to learn what it is.
Select the questionable program and remove it with the Remove button.

Step #2: Kill spyware using the Windows Task Manager

To kill any spyware process that has infected your computer, you will need to use the Windows Task Manager to check by process, highlight the process in question, and then end the task. To do this:

Press CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC on the keyboard.
Click on Processes Tab to see all active tasks. For easier detection, left click the process under the heading Image Name.
Find and kill all spyware processes:


Once you’ve identified the spyware process, press DEL on your keyboard or click End Process to kill it from your system.
Step #3: Use PsKill to Kill a Process

Sometimes a parasite can disable your Windows Task Manager so you can use pslist and pskill (a third party application by Mark Russinovich) to list and kill the unwanted processes.

Download PsKill or PsList.
Extract the program from the .Zip archive.
Move pskill.exe to your C: drive.
Open a command window and click Start > Run.
Type cmd and click the OK button.
In the command window, type C:pskill.exe and the name of the process you wish to kill, then press Enter. For example, if you wanted to kill the process for AntiVirGear, you would type: C:pskill.exe AntiVirGear.exe.
If the file was successfully removed, PsKill will say “process spyware.exe killed”.


IF you follow all the above suggestions,you'll not have the Fort Knox of computers,but Dammed close !

Answer 2

Go to AVG free it is the best free virus tool on the market. This is not a free trial it the whole thing free. It scans email and and files plus more. AVG Free edition.

Answer 3

I agree. I refer all my purchasers to place in AVG, ZoneAlarm, upload-conscious, Spybot-SE, and Spywareblaster, (all loose) and a "host record" in case you do not have one. in case you opt for the URL's, adjust your question and that i'll get them involved by you. yet they're all elementary to discover on the internet. Kim Komando has hyperlinks on her web site. As do many others. Znet case in point. ZoneAlarm is the final loose firewall, yet you will could deploy AVG first and then ZoneAlarm to get them to paintings. Then deploy something. you may then positioned shortcuts on your speedy launch bar so which you do not choose shortcut Icon's on your table suitable.
