Don't you have virus protection like McAfee, or Norton?

Norton / McAfee = Resource hogs and in effective to new viruses.

Currently the #1 all in one virus tool out there (and proven) is called "kapersky" found at www.kapersky.com

The reason being.. Norton, McAfee or even Panda Antivirus are widely used that most viruses have a way around them now. Kapersky is fairly new and have been shown to catch/detect and fix/remove more viruses then any other antivirus.

This coming from a Corporate IT Technician.. (me) but Im sure soon it will not be #1 as they all die from people learning ways around them.

I'll have to check that out. I've got to say though -- I agree on Norton....had nothing but trouble with them . McAfee's been brilliant, though. Not a single virus, spyware, adware, etc, etc in almost 3 years, now.

I always used AVG from Grisoft.

2. buy a mac

Do you have vista or XP?

if you have vista download avg free, run it. then type in the path names for the infections it finds in windows explorer and delete the infected files. empty recycle bin. and reboot. you should be good then.

If you have XP you can try the same thing and for some reason it only works 50/50 i've had to format a few comps that had that.

Yeah Malawarebytes is what I use at our computer shop. Also Combofix in combination with Malawarebytes. Then just to make sure I run SpyBot Search and Destroy at the end.

My memory is a serious problem in my life. I forget to do a lot of things.

I was very disappointed in myself when I realized that it wasn't there. I brought this on myself which is why I am not that angry about it. All I could say was...Damn.:( You get used to forgetting stuff in my condition.



LoL, Once my friend realized what happened I have never seen him disappear so fast in my entire life.

Your not the only one, I have good memory LOL, but my math skills suck :(

Like the others said, run Windows Defender and if you know the file that the virus is originating from, delete..delete..delete

Virus has been eliminated! Thanks for the help guys! You were all helpful...
