Question

internet

Answer 1

Download these.

I use all of these myself, and all of them are free, they are very effective.

1 Ad-Aware 2008, Much more effective than previous versions and faster, does not suck up system resources like the previous versions, also there various skins to suit your preferences.

2 Spybot - Search & Destroy, its a little out of date but it works.

3 SpywareBlaster, blocks potentially damaging applications and programs from running.

4 Simple File Shredder, it isn't an anti spy, but it shreds unnecessary files including cookies and it speeds up system performance.

5 MRU-Blaster, detects and cleans MRU (most recently used) lists on your computer. By looking at these MRU lists, someone could determine what files you opened/saved/looked at, what their file names were, and much more! (And, in many cases, the lists are displayed in drop-down menus automatically.) (From website.)

Also. I suggest that you stay away from online anti-spy scans. As it is not hard for a cracker to hack it, and insert some malicious code into the program which after scanning will give you even more virus's. (That's how my computer got infected once, and after that I have been advising people to stay away from them).

I personally don't like AVG, it screwed up my computer after I Un-Installed it, and Avast didn't work for me. And Trend Micro, has poor detection rates (I tried it a few week's ago (downloaded) and scanned, it found 3 items. I ran Ad-Aware after that and it found 18 items that trend micro passed right over).

If you want very good protection. I would recommend that you purchase Kaspersky http://www.kaspersky.com/. (From a store like Future Shop, or Staples. So you have the physical copy of the program). From what I have heard about it. It seems to be one of the best protection programs out there And it has hourly updates, to give you protection against the latest virus's.

And I would advise you to stay away from P2P, programs. As they are an excellent vector for infections.

Hope this help's

Answer 2

doing a scan alone will not get rid of it as scans will not remove infected restore files..

it will probably hide in the system restore as well as other places.

this method is good for other viruses too...

click on tools > delete browsing history > delete all

> check the box, also delete files and settings stored by

add-on's >yes.

......................................... next" ,..........................................

start > all programs > pc help and tools > system restore

> system restore settings > system restore > check the box turn off system restore on all drives > ok

then go here and do online scan.

then go here and do Clean up Scan

then turn the system restore back to on...

then create a new restore point as your pc will now be clean apart from the last remaining restore point.

then turn off system restore again as it will erase the last infected restore file..

reboot and then turn the system restore back to on...

and hey presto a clean machine...

PS:

turn of your own anti virus when doing the online scan as it may prevent the scanner from removing any infection it finds...

not only that but your own AV system could be infected...
