  1. Update your nod 32 if it needs or is it that it does not update. It is free for updating. Heal/delete files caught as viruses with Norton.

    Get a spy ware remover. www.download.com

    download spybot search & destroy.

    It is good.


  2. Yea, go here, http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and download and run it and it will find and get rid of all them nastys.

  3. don't be worried my sister had 3000 trojans and a100 cookies your pc will work fine;)

  4. You might want to try running through this generic removal guide.  It'll help you to take care of all the trojans on the computer:

    http://ultcomprepair.blogspot.com/2008/0...

  5. NOD32 is not free, well except the trial. http://free.avg.com/

  6. STEP 1. boot up into "Safe Mode". while boot up is proceeding,press f8 till you get the "Safe Mode",Normal and a few other options. choose safe mode. do NOT choose safe mode with connectivity,\

    as you do NOT want to be online yet.STEP 2. TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE

    1. Turn off Windows System Restore Points:

    a. Right Click on My Computer

    b. Click Properties

    c. Click System Restore Tab

    d. Check the box next to: Turn off System Restore on all Hard drives

    i. Malware can sometimes be restored from previous restore points, this will help the removal process run more smoothly. 2. Click Apply and OK. STEP 3. clean up using internet options.start--control panel--internet options--general: delete cookies/history/temp files from internet options general page.cookie management: start--control panel--internet options--privacy--advanced--override. select: allow 1st party cookies,BLOCK 3rd [ tracking ] party cookies. STEP 4. clean up windows folders: empty prefetch and temp file folders: start--control panel--local disk drive (c)--temp folder--file--select all--press delete key on keyboard.back out of Temp folder and continue to Windows folder. open Windows folder,open the 2nd Temp folder and repeat steps as in 1st Temp folder. back out of that folder and continue to Prefetch folder.repeat steps with Temp folders.close

    STEP 5. REMOVE PROGRAMS ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS

    GO TO ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS TO CLEAR KNOWN MALWARE

    1. Before scanning the computer you can remove certain malware programs from the Add/Remove Programs list in the Control Panel in Windows XP

    2. Open the Start Menu and select Control Panel

    3. In the Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs

    4. Look through the list for anything suspicious

    5. Uninstall and follow the directions on any program that you decide to remove.

    STEP 6. CLEAN UP USING DISK CLEAN

    start--all programs--accessories--disk clean

    STEP 7. CLEANING UP THE TASKBAR

    right click start--select properties--select taskbar--select customize.select always hide or show

    STEP 8. edit the registry:

    VERY TRICKY AND DANGEROUS! NOT FOR BEGINNER OR RUBE!! press windows key [ 4 part flag ] + letter R--enter

    regedit

    there are 4 key sections to check:

    hkey_classes_root

    check the list for program--delete

    hkey_current_user

    check for program--delete

    click software--get program--delete

    click microsoft--get program--delete

    hkey_local_machine

    check for program--delete

    click software--get program--delete

    click microsoft--get program--delete

    hkey_users

    click default

    click software

    click microsoft--get program--delete

    STEP 9. ok ! now it's time to reboot and allow normal boot up.once connected,download and install the freeware listed. update each and THEN run. Trojans, Worms, Key Loggers, Viruses, and Spyware are all very difficult to remove with just a single program. That is why it is recommend to run several programs to aid in the removal process. I recommend running each of the following programs listed below in order. Not all the programs are freeware and require purchase, you don’t have to run that program but I recommend looking into it if the results come back with your computer still being infected. Still, after all the freeware programs have run through your computer should be clean of any infection. NOTE: It is recommend to run these programs in Safe Mode for the best results!

    1. Freeware – Spybot: This one gets a lot of advertising bots and other malicious programs.

    2.Spyware Blaster: This is a powerful utility that helps to block potential spyware problems from browsers and websites.

    3. avast ! 4 Home Edition - FREE anti virus software - Download -

    http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-...

    STEP 10: TURN ON SYSTEM RESTORE

    1. Turn on Windows System Restore Points:

    a. Right Click on My Computer

    b. Click Properties

    c. Click System Restore Tab

    d. Uncheck the box next to: Turn off System Restore on all Hard drives

    2. Click Apply and OK

    STEP 11: SYSTEM RECOVERY

    1. In a worst case scenario if the following steps do not clean your system,try using system restore. follow the same steps you followed to turn off S.R. but instead,click create new restore point

    2. in a VERY worst case,use your recovery or re install disk to re install windows

  7. You will need to uninstall Norton using this http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsg...

    Nod32 will cost so I recommend the following:-

    Avast Home Edition http://avast.com

    Run a full scan once a month. I find this the best free anti-virus software

    SUPERantispyware http://superantispyware.com

    Update and run a full scan once a week.

    Spybot Search and Destroy http://safer-networking.org

    Update, Immunize and scan once a week.

    ccleaner http://ccleaner.com

    Run the Cleaner scan and remove all it finds

    Run the Registry scan and fix all issues but repeat this until nothing is detected.

    Run this daily.

    Comodo Firewall  http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

    Some people just prefer the Windows one but this is better.

    Check that you don't need to defragment monthly and also run a Disk Cleanup monthly too.

    Hope this helps

    PS: I'd switch off System Restore until your computer is clean and then you can switch it back on if you choose.
