  1. The easiest way to fix it is using Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware (Turn off system restore, Download it, update it, do a full scan, and remove everything it finds).

    I would also recommend the following programs to make sure that you don't get infected again in the future:

    Spybot - Search & Destroy

    Avira AntiVir Personal (You would need to remove your current antivirus in order to install this. That doesn't seem to be much of a problem since it didn't do it's job in the first place).

    Spyware Doctor Starter Edition


  2. first thing is to look and see if you are running any other anti virus programs at the same time as yo have avg 2 or more at one time is like having none at all  

  3. If you suspect you have an infection, there are several things you must do.  Unfortunately, if you find one infection, it is highly likely you have another one. A virus, trojan or worm are all different types of infections/malware and there are some great FREE programs that can help you.

    First, clean up (delete) your cookies, temp files and temporary internet files. I prefer to use Ccleaner to do this, rather than the built-in DISK CLEANUP, as I feel it does a much more thorough job - for example, it will clean out the index files on your next reboot.

    If you want to use Disk Cleanup, you can find it if you:

    - Double-Click on My Computer to open it up

    - RIGHT-click on your C: drive

    - Choose PROPERTIES and then click on the DISK CLEANUP button

    - When done, reboot your computer.

    Delete these files daily or run Ccleaner every day right before you shut your computer down.

    2 - You should also have a good anti-virus program to help protect your computer. AVG Free, Avast or Avira are excellent anti-virus programs. You can't go wrong in choosing any one of these.

    3 -Since NONE of the anti- spyware or anti- adware programs are 100 percent accurate in finding and removing spyware, you need at least two programs which you will run one after the other, not at the same time.

    There are three excellent free ones:

    - Spybot, Search and Destroy

    - Ad-Aware

    - Spyware Blaster

    You will need to download, install, update (and IMMUNIZE in Spybot) and run them, one at a time. Be careful with the NAME of these programs - there are "look-alikes" with very similar names, that are in fact spyware themselves! Reboot after you install each one!

    After this current infection is cleared up, be sure to run both of the above programs at least once a week if you are on the internet frequently and/or like to download music or files.

    NOTE: Some infections prevent your from downloading the above programs. You may have to use a clean computer to download the programs and copy them to a thumb drive or CD. Then transfer the install files to the infected computer and run.

    --Occasionally you will not be able to run these programs without being in SAFE MODE.  To get there, reboot your computer and tap the F8 key, repeatedly until a menu comes up.  You want to choose SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING.

    4 -You should also have a good firewall to help protect your computer. Zone Alarm makes a totally free version (watch you don't download the 30-day free trial of the paid version). You can download this from the manufacturer at zonelabs dot com

    HTH : )

    Good luck!

    PS - Most of the above programs can be found at www.download.com

  4. I have Avast! Antivirus, ThreatFire and ZoneAlarm - all detect and keep out malicious and suspicious activity from going into your computer.  You can download them at www.cnet.com.  ZoneAlarm is a firewall that also comes with a Spyware blocker.  Avast! is also an excellent antivirus program that will quarantine the viruses, then gives you the option to delete them out of your computer.  I've been using these programs for the longest time and have NOT had ONE virus!   Download Avast! first, then do a scan right away!!   It'll remove the viruses from your computer.   CNET is a safe site - spyware and virus-free:D    ZoneAlarm also gives you little popup alert boxes in the bottom right corner, alerting you of programs that are trying to gain access to the net such as Yahoo messenger, Avast! Antivirus, etc.   You can either 'allow' the programs or you can block them, but programs that you're familiar with such as Yahoo Messenger, you can click in the box that says 'Remember this setting'.  Once you do that, ZoneAlarm will automatically give that program the 'ok' to gain access to your computer and/or the net.   You should ONLY allow programs to gain access that you're familiar.   If you don't recognize the program that's trying to gain access to your computer and/or the net from your computer, you can choose NOT to allow it because it will be considered 'malware' and/or suspicious activity.  Hope this helps!!

  5. There just giving you lots of programs you are already using AVG which has found them. Restart your PC when it turns of then back on start pressing F8 when a menu comes up select safe mode then run a full AVG scan delete everything it detects restart normally. Now go to this site.

    Run a full scan using Internet explorer.

    There you are should be better without downloading even more software than you already have :-)
