I keep getting a pop up that I have a trojan downloader virus on my computer detected by windows firewall. It's really an ad that takes me to their website to buy their products. Smart Soft software. I have run every anti spy and mail ware programs to get rid of . I still get the pop up every few minutes when on the internet. Any ideas?

  1. install kaspersky anti-virus, update it and run a full system scan.restart your machine and it'll be fine..


  2. Have you tried Avast anti-virus the free edition? That should get rid of it. You'll have to download it and then do a full disk scan after reboot. It should find it and then put it in the "chest".  

  3. So sorry you're having problems in Windows. Perhaps consider a MacBook or iMac. There are no trojans, viruses, adware, spyware for the Macs. The bad guys are not writing that stuff for Macs. Your built-in firewall is sufficient.  

  4. What you have is an adware. Install Spybot-Search&Destroy, update its definitions and run a scan on your system.It will remove the infection using its secure shredder.

  5. Go to the link listed below and click on Full Service Scan than following the instructions. It is a virus and spy-ware scanner plus it checks your registry and check your hard drive for cookies etc. It will take 2 hours or more depending on the size of your hard drive. I have used this several times and it works good. Good Luck and have a virus and spy ware free computer soon.
