Answer 2

Hi There...

According to an unofficial report there are around 150 new viruses are being developed per day which make them huge till date and tested on normal users like me and like you or distributed on INTERNET with some free download links, everyday...

More over Windows is the most convenient and vulnerable Operating System ever developed. To solve this issue you have two options:

Either you change your OS, from Windows to any Linux such as  UBUNTU or RedHat.

In case you can't do that due to any reason then I suggest you to use a self defense system, which includes:

FIREWALL, Anti-Virus, Anti-SPYware, AD-Ware, MallWare, Trojan, IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System)



Firewall: If properly configured which you can do by googling the product you have can stop any authorized content.

Practically in Laptop (Home User), you can't use all of it, if everything is in same computer you can't use it effectively, hence if you are a Home User use a good AV (Anti-Virus) with AS (Anti-SpyWare) will be sufficient

The question is which one is good...

Lets check AV reviews at the following:

and also lets check AS reviews

I have used first NORTON as AV, which was a huge memory eater, then I also tried McAfee it is not effective to clear all the latest treats.

I found Kaspersky is highly active updater,  an efficient scanner and trouble free cleaner.

I recommend you, KasperSKY for AV and SpySweeper for AS

They both convince me on Performance wise and Price wise.

Personally I am not good believer of Pirated Software on Security terms you cant update your security for latest threat and fixes.

To solve your present problem:

Boot the machine in safe mode, you can do this by pressing F8 key continously and select SAFE MODE, after booting into safe mode you can Un-Install the present AV and Re Boot the system Normally.

After which install new AV and AS as mentioned earlier

I hope this is been informative for you.
