Answer 2

Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.

Disable "System Restore" for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/communi...

Now restart in safe mode.

To get in safe mode Press "F8" upon boot up.

Select "Safe mode with Network".

Go to Start - Run - type "iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html... (Without "") Enter(ok).

Do a full scan of all your drives. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.

When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.

Go to Start - Run - type "iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/" (Without "") Enter(ok).

Do a full scan of all your drives. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.

**NOTE**: Do NOT do anything else with your computer when scanning in safe mode. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.

When no one of these scanners are showing anything you can reboot back to normal mode.

Turn on "System Restore".

---------------

Antivirus: BitDefender Online scanner - will scan and remove threats.

Anti adware/spyware: Ewido Online Scanner - will scan and remove threats.

---------------

**NOTE**: Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer.

Anti-adware/malware/spyware are ok to have more off.

You need to get one antivirus program, one firewall, pop up blocker and some spyware/adware/malware removers if you don't have it.

Answer 3

reset your computer back to a previous date.

Answer 4

Just saw your long additional question.

Your email is disabled.

I prefer AVG and spybot S & D. As both of them are free.

You can get it at www.download.com .

Actually, there are a lot more to explore there.

AVG is under anti virus.

Spybot is under spyware.
