I hope you guys can help...
Last night my laptop was infected with a virus. I scanned the computer with the virus protection plan it has and it tells me that it has cleaned the unnecessary files. I also run a "clean sweep" another program I have to make sure. Just when I think I'm doing everything I'm suppose to do, I reboot my computer and my homepage has been changed to a "spyware protection" page. And all these popups come up telling me to "purchase this" bc my 'puter has been infected by a "backdoor trojan" (that sounds funny!!) Anyways, I'm just a few seconds away from throwing the thing across the room...(it's been going on since last night). I don't want to pay for added protection when I already have it. And I especially don't want to use CC info when my computer has been weakend. Any tips/help would be GREATLY apreciated!!

go here:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm click on the box in the middle that says "FREE! Check your PC ONLINE!" and let it clean up your machine. Then go here: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-...ml?tag=lst-0-1 and download Adaware and run it.

Counterspy works great. It's free for 15 days but well worth the 20 bucks.

3 things you need.
Antivirus (free is good) http://www.comodo.com (they also make a great great firewall) CyberHawk (IPS - threathunter - Free is good) http://www.novatix.com/Company/Management.aspx And last but not least: Advance Window Cleaner (run it every week or so - Free is great) http://iobit.com/AdvancedWindowsCare...l/download.htm With these three running, I can guarantee you a trouble free PC.

While there are MUCH more knowledgable computer users on this website than I, let me put in a plug for Norton Systemworks - It's always been in my computers for the last 20+yrs and I haven't had one crash or virus (Boy! talk about "jinxing" myself! <crossed fingers>) - simple to use and alot of nice features
