What is the name of the program you are trying to remove?

Your post is rather confusing. Are you seeing a lot popups advertising some registry cleaner? Please clarify.

Where i find the creack version of antivirus?

Where i find the creack version of antivirus?network

You don't need a crack for anti-virus software because you can get anti-virus software for free.

The pay versions have more features, but you can compensate for that by downloading additional free software.

Here's one package of software that should cover everything:

-Avast! Free Home Anti-Virus

-AVG Free Anti-Rootkit (manual rootkit scanner)

-ZoneAlarm Basic Firewall

-Spybot Search %26 Destroy (manual scanner with registry snooper)

-Spyware Blaster (automatic browser protection)

Balk has a good answer but I thought I would add this thought. Using a cracked version of a commercial product is like using nothing at all. You don't know if the person who cracked the program put in a back door so they can access your system or if they left a way to allow viruses on your system or not.

How do old viruses slip past Norton antivirus, autoprotect enabled?

My friend's computer--clean (Norton, Spybot and Ad Aware scans) 10 days ago. Norton is autoprotect enabled. Spybot and Ad Aware are the free versions; no real-time protection, but both were updated and Spybot immunized.

Friday, six days later, when computer booted, they noticed strange things...in fact, Smitfraud (and other, similar) spyware. When I checked logs and quarantines, I found that my friend had run Ad Aware on Friday, fixing 130+ problems (not all tracking cookies). Yesterday--yes, they waited five days, hoping it would fix itself--they called me in.

I've cleaned it up (what a chore), but when I ran a full system anti-virus scan, Norton found and quarantined a handful of nasties. When I looked them up, it seems that none is a recently discovered problem--WinFixer, ISearch and Trojan.Anser being the worst of the bunch. And Norton's definitions updates from many months ago should have prevented them. So how do they slip past Norton?

How do old viruses slip past Norton antivirus, autoprotect enabled?nortan antivirus

New variants of old malware are constantly being developed by the 'black-hats' to avoid detection by signature-based anti-malware products. For example the Zlob trojan, the culprit behind Smitfraud, has almost 2000 different variants and the number grows daily.

This is why anti-virus apps such as Kaspersky are now issuing new virus defination updates on an hourly basis now. Weekly (Norton) or even daily updates just don't cut it any more!

The MyWebSearch Toolbar can be easily uninstalled. If you want to uninstall this product, there are several ways to do so:

* You can also click on the drop down arrow button next to your MyWebSearch icon in the toolbar that the Toolbar installs, and select "Enable/Disable Features", then select "Uninstall MyWebSearch" and confirm your wish to uninstall the Toolbar.

* Each of the product features can be separately hidden or deactivated by accessing the "Add/Remove Buttons" menu, accessible through the drop down arrow next to your MyWebSearch icon in the toolbar that the Toolbar installs in your Internet browser.

Go to Windows Explorer, My Computer, C Drive, Program Files, you probably have a folder for Norton Antivirus. Open up the different Norton file folders and look to see if there is a file that say Uninstall. If so, you can normally click on an Uninstall file and it will run the Uninstall program and remove that program from your computer. I agree with others who have answered your question about not using Norton, it can mess up your computer when you try to uninstall it sometimes. A much better Antivirus program is McAfee Viruscan and it is more user friendly too. Good Luck !!
Well you are doing it the right way. Are you sure that you are doing Add/Remove Software.
go to C: drive and open the Programme folder, look for Norton Antivirus and then delete it folder by folder, if a folder does not comply, open it and delete file by file

you dont have to renew it ,,

Windows Live Onecare for 90 days then 拢15 for l year for 3 computers. Well worth it. AVG free or AVAST but I personally prefer Live Onecare.
You renew it by purchasing a new license key, or buy a new copy.

A good free AV to get is Avast! . I highly recommend it over AVG that alot of people use.

my suggestion is AVG 75free - but it's only free to New Zealand %26 it's an excellent antivirus etc.
Agree with 6$freedom - Avast! is a good product, totally free %26 easy to use with regular signature updates.
Avg free edition is real good and you can get it at download.com
go 2 computeractive.com and youll have a choice! But as the others have said AVG (a very good) antivirus
i started using 'Avast' and i really like it.

You definitely DO NOT want to run more than one anti-virus program. Uninstall one and use the other only. You can run multiple anti-spyware programs though and it is recommended.

Your computer may lock up or run super slow by having more than one AV program!
Try revo uninstaller and remove all the left over of Norton that may interfere with your new software also, be sure that you are the administrator so you can have full access.

How often should one scan the computer using antivirus and antispyware programs?

I use the free addition of AVG Anti-virus and Spydoctor. Usually in the instructions for all the anti-malware programs its given that you should scan the computer regularly using them. So how often does regularly means? I usually end up scanning everyday or the other day. Can scanning a lot have any affect on my hard drive or other components?

How often should one scan the computer using antivirus and antispyware programs?norton internet security 2008

Most if not all anti-virus apps can be set to update %26 scan automaticly. I have mine run every nite because I leave it on to catch updates--Windows, ZoneAlarm, etc

The anti-spyware apps I run 5-6 times a month. This because of the number of nasties that they typically find. If I happen to go to a number of new, or suspect, or porn sites, I run it more often, because it will get more stuff from those.

The wear on the computer is negligible, it's more about the time involved

Further to my question about which and why Antivirus, for which I have had many great answers.?

I had my first PC for 3 years from 2000. I transferred all the HD information to my new Dell in 2004. The 90 day free McAfee found no viruses. At the end of the 90 days I checked the McAfee Log but here were no Viruses ( or is viri). I have for two years now had CA Ez installed. due for subscription in February. Again no sign of any Viruses. So I still wonder whether or not to bother. I use my PC quite a lotat home. Thanks again.

Further to my question about which and why Antivirus, for which I have had many great answers.?norton internet security

If your computer is constantly protected by an anti-virus program, and its definitions are updated automatically, it prevents viruses from being downloaded onto your computer.

If you go onto the Internet, receive emails then it is better to be safe than sorry, PREVENTION is better than CURE
You MUST have a good firewall and good anti-virus. If you're happy with what you've got, by all means renew it, though personally I prefer to use AVG's free version. If no virus has got through, it's doing it's job.

Also, try Ad-Aware SE personal (free) for good malware detection

i have it to on both my laptop and pc ..yes its free ..but its recmended to be the best out there,,of the other free or even the ones you actually pay for ok ..i have had noproblems as of yet with viruses or anything ..had it 6 weeks

What is the advantage and disadvantage of AVAST AntiVirus?spyware remover

Avira has a *slightly* better detection rate than Avast; however, Avast gives you email scanning and the ability to do a boot-time scan, which Avira doesn't. Also Avira has given me automatic-update problems every time I've tried it. This doesn't happen to a lot of people, but it isn't *uncommon* either.

So I use and recommend Avast.

BTW, I wouldn't even consider AVG. It's no longer even comparable to Avira or Avast. The reason AVG is so easy to use is because it never bothers you; it never bothers you because its detection rates are pathetic and it never finds anything to alert you about ;-)

Why are Windows so greedy and CHARGE for AntiVirus software to fix their "perfect" OS?

I am not talking about 3rd party software like Norton, but about Windows OneCare. Shouldnt it be completely free. I mean they are already charging enough for the OS, but then to be as greedy as to charge people to fix and make it operate their so called "perfect" OS correctly is just plain unfair.

I am glad I at least have one Apple computer with Mac OS X, they never have a virus and they don't charge to improve the OS either.

Why are Windows so greedy and CHARGE for AntiVirus software to fix their "perfect" OS?panda

So don't pay for it...AVG Free is the best anti-virus out there right now. Norton is total junk, uses up a lot of system resources and you have to pay for it. Avast is another free anti-virus, which is still good, but personally I like AVG. You can download AVG from the link below. There is absolutely no spyware.

The reason Mac OS X does not have as many viruses is because people who make viruses are going after Windows because it has over 90% market share. Mac OS X is just as vulnerable. I also don't think Microsoft call's their OS "perfect" otherwise they would never have to release patch's and updates.

I have free wireless internet at school that I can't even use. Help.?

The wireless connection at my college that is included in my building use fees is supposed to be unlimited and complimentary with my schooling.

However, it requires that each person that uses it has the most expensive anti-virus program that is available. I am unable to get this program because the price is ridiculous but I still think it is my right to use this connection that I pay for. I have antivirus, anti-spyware, and a couple anti-malware programs.

First of all, when I connect to the wi-fi at school, no matter what browser I use, the server automatically does a scan to see if I have the right anti-virus program installed on my computer. If I don't, I can't access the internet there. No Google, no MSN messenger, no Spy sweeper updates, no windows automatic updates.. nothing.

Is there a way I can trick the server into letting me through? I did trick it once before I think, on accident.

Can't restore files from virus chest with avast! antivirus?

I'm using avast! free edition right now and I have two items I'd like to restore from the avast! Virus Chest. The items are: kernel32.dll and wsock32.dll. However, when I tried to restore them, an error occurs and it says, "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." What should I do?

Can't restore files from virus chest with avast! antivirus?photoshop

well, either kernel32.dll and wsock32.dll already exist in your system and used from windows so you can't overwrite them, or Avast don't allow to restore kernell32.dll and wsock32.dll cause they already exist.

Reboot in safe mode and try to restore them.

Just tap rapidly F8 while you reboot your PC AND CHOOSE SAFE MODE, from the menu you see on screen.

Then restore the files.

This virus is too smart. It also happened to my PC last time! Maybe that virus made a "backdoor" onto your computer that someone is directly controlling your PC. The guy controling it may have been stopping your anti-virus software downloads, and then corrupting you remaining anti-virus software installed on your PC.

I guess there is no more choice but to reformat your PC and reinstall Windows. That's what I did when my PC suffered from a serious threat of a trojan.
If none of the good solutions provided by the other folks don't work try to go to www.kaspersky.com, install the activex control and follow the instructions. Then, perform an online scan. Once the scan is done save the report somewhere in your file. Then, print the report (make sure the full path of all the infected files is shown on the print) and then begin to delete all the files manually. Viruses are like other programs, once you begin to screw the files that make them work they begin to fail in their main purpose i.e. screwing your PC.

You may have to go into services and stop the avg service(s) after you have disabled it. Most virus scanners have associated service(s) running along with the main program. This allows the virus scanner to scan the boot sectors of the hard drive and memory before the operating is fully loaded.

Start, Control panel, Performance and Maintenance, Administrative Tools, Services

before u start running kaspersky u should be uninstalled the avg first .
right click on the avg icon on the taskbar and close the application

I disabled avg free to do a scan by kaspersky.I am done with the scan & dont know how to reverse

it was in the taskbar by the clock and someone told me to right click and click on exit.

this removed it from the taskbar. They said it would come back on when I rebooted but it did not.

How do I make sure it is working ok and get it back in the taskbar.

I don't want to remove and reinstall as occasionally things don't reinstall right..so how can I be sure it is not disabled now that I am done with the scan that required me to disable my antivirus protection before doing a scan

go to the settings menu and select operational hazards. in the operational hazards menu check the box that says autoscan. then you need to unplug everything and turn it off, reinstall everything.
Reboot. AVG should be on and active again after doing so.
k
It usually not a good idea to have two anti-viruses running at the same time - they'll step on each other.

If this is Windows, go Start %26gt; All Programs - find AVG %26 start it from there. You can drag the icon onto the desktop from the Start menu - just hold CTRL while dragging %26 it'll stay in the Start menu.
can you see the avg tab on your desktop if it is there try and double click on that and it should automatically put it into your taskbar

I have the avg 7.5 Internet suite and i do often turn it off myself as it can do a full test all on its own even though i have changed it in settings so the way i have mentioned works for me i do not see why it will not work for you

These are the directions straight from the manufacturers' web site:

1. Right-click the Auto-Protect icon, which is located by the clock in the Windows system tray.

2. Click Disable.

(For Norton AntiVirus 2005, in the Options popup window that appears, select the period for which you want Auto-Protect turned off, and then click OK. )

A red circle with a slash through its center appears, which indicates that Auto-Protect is disabled.

On running a free version of counterspy . it has detected adware/spyware on my computer?virus scan

I am not familiar with Counterspy, but normally when a file is "quarantined", it means that is has been moved into a directory were it is not being used. Your PC is currently running just as if the file has been deleted. The quarantine only gives you the ability to "undelete"/"unquarantine" the file is it turns out to be needed. But if you have been running the PC for a couple hours with the file quarantineed and the PC has not crashed, then the file is not needed and it is safe to delete it.
most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.

i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.

I downloaded the free AVG and Spybot Search and Destroy onto my new computer, is there anything else

Does the AVG have anti spyware or is it just an antivirus and firewall? What is ad aware and do I need it? (I just uninstalled McAfee because it was interfering with me using my Windows Mail so I want to make sure that I am protected). Thanks in advance for all your answers!!!

鈥lease do not cheat by skipping any steps. You are only hurting yourself if you do. And you will waste more time. The goal is to get your PC fixed. Completing the steps in this generic guide may or may not resolve all of your malware problems, but in all cases it gets your PC into a known state to help make it easier for me to fix your problems. After completing all steps, if you still need help, please send a new question. You may have a problem trying to run steps in safe mode on user accounts that have limited priviledges.

My computer is very slow updated with avg spyware and antivirus no virus on computer .?

acer pentium 4 ,512 mb. free disk space 20 g

Slow on start up/slow on internet /slow to react

My computer is very slow updated with avg spyware and antivirus no virus on computer .?suzuki

Well there are many reason for ur comp being slow

its not ur Ram....512mb is good enough.....add one more RAm of 512 that would make it better.......

Start is slow------ remove temporary internet files n temporary files

goto c:\documnts n settings\username\

here there are some folders which has temproray files.....clear them up

goto c:\windows\prefetch

clear that folder up

Goto start click on run......type msconfig

remove unwanted programs that run during start up

These things will make ur comp faster....

Regarding ur internet.........u have not specified ur net speed or bandwidth.......otherwise with more RAm u would definitely do well

Enjoy ....Hope this answers ur Question n solves ur problem

My computer is very slow updated with avg spyware and antivirus no virus on computer .?virus

Check http://www.pc-optimizer-pro.info

With pc optimizer pro you can safely clean, repair and optimize your computer.

It will help improve your system performance.

Good luck!
Spyware/adware/crapware. AVG doesn't pick up on this since they aren't classed as viruses. Go to www.download.com, get Spybot Search %26 Destroy. Install. Update. Run (will take overnite). Let it delete all it finds.
512 MB for memory is very little. If you have virus and spyware protection installed then it is using all of your memory. I would buy some quality memory like Patriot etc - go for 2 GB of memory. Your HD should have minimum 15% free space available...more is better. Do a defrag of the HD. Boost your mem first of all. After that do a free scan with Spyware Dr to see if you have any bad things hanging out in your pc.
Try to stop all application that run at start-up , download tune up utilities 2007 and clean registry and defrag it and optimize system and then defrag your hard disk.
What is the operating system that you have? If it is XP then you need to see what is running on start up. Go to programs then startup and look at whats there. If there are a lot of things there then you need to remove some. The other thing is clean out the prefetch. Do a search for files that are .pf and delete them. Some other things that you can try are to use CTRL ALT DEL and see what is running in the task manager. IT will tell you how much processor the applications are using.
You ram is quite small these days...loading times will be relatively long with 512....if you play games go for 2 gigs..if not go for 1 gig....also do a disk clean up and defragment your hard drive....

Also make sure that not so many applications are running on start up..you can disable these...
u must install kaspersky antivirus ,,,update %26 scan ur pc may be any virus in system volume information

also install registry mechanic ,,,,chek for errors

to make it fast at start up

click start button

open run

type msconfig

select start up (the last one)

unchek all except antivrus %26 anti spam

apply

close

reboot

Does windows Vista home basic come with office 2007, and antivirus software installed?

what other cool features are included, and also if any one knows i get it free from best buy, how long will it take for then to send it out to me

No. They are vastly separate products. You purchase Office 2007 separately.

Does windows Vista home basic come with office 2007, and antivirus software installed?windows

sorry doesn't have office if you buy the upgrade disk, but might if you buy the whole machine. It doesn't have antivirus software but it does have windows Defender. I'd reccomend buying anti-virus software though.
yes
No.
No. You only get Vista. You have to buy the other products. Go here to see all the cool things Vista will do.

http://www.microsoft.com/vista
you have to buy office 2007 separately
All three are separate pieces of software.

The second link below is for Office, but you can get it cheaper if you are a full-time student.

The third link below is for Microsoft's anti-virus/computer security package called OneCare. CompUSA is offering it free after rebate.

You can also get free anti-virus software from GriSoft called AVG just go to http://www.grisoft.com.

What is a free program (not trial) that will remove the WinFixer Popups and also the Blackberry Viru

I have those annoying WinFixer Popups, and i want to get rid of them, along with some other popups (bad ones), and i also want to rid myself of the Blackberrry virus, which i am continually told has breached my computer. Windows Security center has told me that my computer has been breached and private information is being sent. It offers downloads like WinAntiVirus PRO. Are these really to remove viruses, or are they themselves just pieces of more spyware. I also believe i have a virus, because when i run Adaware SE,it always runs into one critical file in the first 60 or so seconds, and then my computer will basically go into classic mode, with a whitish colored taskbar at the bottom, and finally the computer will shut down. i cannot remove the virus with Adaware, since it shuts my computer down first. please give me some advice, especially if it solves both antivirus and popup issues, and please do not suggest Google Toolbar for popups, as i dont think it'll be able to remove these.

Currently im using AntiVir PE Classic. Its working pretty great. It has deleted about 200 trojans in my 1 hr use.

Anyone know which one i should be using?

avg free~ its the best

I've gone through many free Anti Virus programs and i want to know which one is the best to stick with?free antivirus download

What you should be asking is how can I stop getting infected!

See http://www.dslreports.com/forum/cleanup

and read up.

The bottom line is NO one program can stop all virii/trojans/spam. The best way is a limited account and knowledge of what causes infections. Check the link and become informed.
avast! and AVG are two very good free anti-virus programs. Just stick with 1 though, it will offer you good enough protection.

the server must be busy,try after sometime.Also make sure your internet connections are working fine and that your firewall is not blocking avg.

First of all verify that your internet connection is working correctly, than try again. if that doesn't work then check the settings of the anti virus regarding updates.

or just give it some time and try later because at times the server with Grisoft may just be not accessible..

Is there a way to free my computer of viruses without having to download any more programs?

i have tried uninstalling many unused programs through CCleaner, which kind of helped increase its speed. i also installed McAfee antivirus, but for some reason, the on-access scan never finishes scanning my computer entirely; it always freezes at a file called Symaddlin.dll (or something similar?). i think the real problem is at startup; it's REALLY slow. it also doesn't start it in safe mode; instead, a flurry of commands (in MSDOS format) bombards my screen. i have a sony vaio with windows XP media center 2005. i'm trying to find a way to clean my computer without installing any more programs; i mean, some of them really help, but i just don't want anything more to attach itself to the laptop's harddrive/memory. i also don't really want to completely reboot the system/erase everything and start over, it's kinda a hassle, but it's my last resort. please help, i'm not much of a computer person D: and i really need to get my computer working ASAP, i have physics and calculus HW due LOL

Is there a way to free my computer of viruses without having to download any more programs?downloads

AVG free edition is pretty good for anti virus and get ZoneAlarm firewall (free edition) on the side; I've had this combination for a long time and nothing gets in my computer, nothing gets out of my computer. www.download.com
Try AVG free edition @ http://free.grisoft.com there is bad parts about it though it only scans viruses no spyware,adware,and fissures.

i do have a free windows live care and it scans everything free

go to http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/defau...

Then click protection(on the left side of the page). Then click protection scan.P.S. it takes a while for windows live care to scan but it scans for everything not just viruses.
I have found that Avast is one of the best on the free market today.
Active Virus Shield is free anti-virus for your PC that combines traditional antivirus programs, stopping them before they can infect your computer.

Hi, the programs I will suggest are by far the best security softwares availible and r also free to.

For Spyware, malware, and trojans use:

Windows firewall is completely useless. The best one is Comodo Firewall and thats free to. Get it at:

Remember, you get what you pay for or not. Go on the internet and search for anti-spyware, a loonnngg list will appear. 90% will say they are free, but read closely, if you want 100% protection all the time might we suggest our XYZ program, which costs a mere $19.99? Get the point?

What do companies get out of providing free.....?

antivirus programs, and how are the ones you pay for different and better?

What do companies get out of providing free.....?hp

Many software companies make millions of dollars and when they provide you with a free version of their software there is usually, no support, no background scanner, or automatic updates if it is antispyware, or antivirus.

Some software companies are criminals and will install trojans viruses, adware, spyware embedded into their free software.

And you will find many companies that believe in giving away their software for free and includes support and is 100% clean. (Good advertisement for their major software products).

Some free programs are far better in advanced technology then the ones that you must pay money for. Example, Nortons antvirus is a hugh resource hog, finds nothing and leaves 375 framgents all over your system if you remove. Will cause serious conflict.

You can get free from AOL, Active Virus Shield, powered by Kaspersky Lab Russia Rated # 1 in the world for virus detection with excellent background scanner and updates every hour on the hours for free. AOL, wants to see everybody secure without having to pay money.

If you do download a free program, always download to save. When you open scan with your antivirus/spyware to make sure the program is clean, before you install.

Which Is The Latest ?? AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.1.394 or 7.1.407 ???

In download.com AVG Version 7.1.394 shows as Date added on June 01 /06 whereas Version 7.1.407 as released on 10/04/06.

I am running 7.1,407 which i download from download.com few days back if we look at the dates then 7.1.394 looks to be the latest. But if we look at the version number then the other looks to be the latest.. Any Computer / antivirus Guru here Pl.to help and remove this confusion??? thanks

Which Is The Latest ?? AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.1.394 or 7.1.407 ???husqvarna

whatever version you have doesnt matter at all unless they have its a major release which means if they have released a version 8 then you shuld get it provided they have done some enhancements in it. If its version 7.2 then its a minor version where they bascially just put few minior enhancements and some bug fixes . So in this case its just the BUILD . Both are same versions but of different build which really doesnt matter. You will still get all the updates when you open up avg.

Please review the release notes for the version and if you think there is some critical bug fix then just download it and install it. You wont need to uninstall the existing version.

If you think there are no critical fixes in the new version then just leave it alone. Everything is fine.

Hi,

That's an easy one to fix, open internet explorer, on the right had side click tools.

Down the bottom click internet options.

Then you should see a page with a tab title of general.

In the section marked home page you will see an internet address, probably the one you do not want.

Delete that one and put in your normal home page that you want to use.

Once you have done that click on apply, on the bottom right, then click ok.

Then close and restart explorer and it should be back to normal.

You need to get SP2. If your XP is genuine, Microsoft will mail you a CD, which I preferred to trying to download it where I wouldn't have a disk to fall back on if something went wrong. The current software is keyed to SP2.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/d...
its because all new software NEEDS xp sp2. you can get it from windows website.

if your copy of windows ISNT genuine then follow this link for it developers. its the same thing but it doesnt do the upgrade via update center. you just download the service pack direct and install. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...

Spybot - Search %26 Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S%26D is free.

URGENT: Does anyone know of any good free anti spyware programs?

If you know the name of the virus, type it in the Yahoo search bar and you should get removal instructions for that virus.

-or-

Go to: www.norton.com and look it up.
If you can not delete the virus, then quarantine it until such a time you can buy a stronger anti-virus program.

The "free" anti-virus is very limited in what it can do.

What happens when it expires is the updates stop downloading and updating the software. Usually the software still will scan and take out viruses,but you may have to do it manually and delete them yourself and it may not notify you if you have a virus or not unless you have the subscription.

My sony ericsson w300i is infected with a virus . Please tell me a site from which i can download a free antivvirus protection software

The Sony Ericsson W300i is not a Symbian phone - it runs a proprietary operating system. There are neither viruses, nor anti-virus programs for it. It most definitely isn't infected with a virus. Whatever problem you might be experiencing is caused by something else.

In fact, even if it were one of the few Sony Ericsson models that do run the Symbian operating system (e.g., the M600i, P1i, P910, P990 or W950 models), it would be using the UIQ user interface (instead of the S60 R2 user interface) and the chance of catching a virus that is able to work under that is still disappearingly small.

It could well be that those sites are blocked by your administrator. I agree, get Firefox, it's safer (and faster). A good AV programme is AVG. You can get the free version from their website.
Go to Google and install google updater you can get an updated spy and virus scan
Did you just update IE? Some firewalls mess IE7 up when you put in certain updates.
Could be the pop up blocker stopping the sites from opening (yahoo toolbar and google both have built in pop up blockers). But for free anti virus try AVG.

Booting hangs the comp?

hi,,im using win 98,,today i was removing my free edition of avg antivirus free edition and installing activeshield antivirus,because

avg antivirus is stopping it's free service from jan 15th,,the activeshield antivirus refused to install unless

avg was uninstalled,,so while the computer was online i uninstalled avg successfully,,,,this might have given chance

to viruses and trojans to enter the comp in this no-virus-protection online state,,,,following this,i installed the active shield

antivirus,,,but the problem is that,,after restarting computer,,,the computer sort of hangs while booting when the win98

picture comes on, though at the bottom of this screen there is indication of booting procedure ON in the form of moving

lights and shadows line (hope you understand what i mean),,,,as though something is preventing the computer from booting

fully ,the comp is allowed to boot only in the safe mode,im not sure if this problem is connected to the entry of

viruse or other reason

Kaspersky is my only choice in Anti virus Softwares. High virus detection without jeopardize your system's performance. Their hourly auto updates and multi-file(zip/arj/rar/cab/lha... support blocks almost all kinds of malicious programs. Besides,it's the best/or only choice for MS Windows Vista platform.As a sweet reminder, you can update this software to the newest 7.0 version without any cost. Only con of this program is the price but its worth it! It also has a great firewall.

-If you want something great and free for an anti virus program get Avira AntiVir. Great virus detection rate and always protecing your computer with a background scan.

Is it possible my anti virus missed one?

My computer has been crazy lately. Ridiculously slow, streaming video abruptly ends, freezing etc. I ran my Symantec antivirus and while I already have 3 trojans in quarantine, it can't find any new threats. I also ran Spybot S%26D and AdAware for spyware; they found a lot and I deleted them all but my computer's still crap.

I can get Norton antivirus free through rogers, so I decided to install it to see if Symantec missed one, but apparently you can only have one antivirus at a time and Norton would make me uninstall symantec, spybot and adaware. I don't really want to do that.

Basically, is it worth uninstalling all that to see if there really is a virus that Symantec missed? Or is there something else that's slowly killing my computer?

Is it possible my anti virus missed one?virus scanner

Yes it is, this is not to put someone down, but according to many. Norton/Symantec is not that powerful enough to free your computer from various malicious threat. I strongly recommend kaspersky or bitdefender to run on your computer.

Note: avoid running two antivirus program on your computer at the same time.

Is it possible my anti virus missed one?anti virus software

Norton and symantec are just the same. What symantec/norton would detect, it removes but wht it misses it stays in your pc. I suggest you get a really good security software. Kaspersky, Avira, Sophos 7, Nod32 are among the best in anti virus. Spyware doctor, AVG antispyware, a-squared antimalware, counterspy are among the best in anti spyware.
