  1. hi elise

    plz donot download avast as it screws ur computer to death . instead download kaspersky antivrus or dr spyware which will completely get rid of thespware and adware in ur computer . and plz turn of system restore and plz make sure ur hidden files are in visible mode


  2. Free spyware programs to download are Spybot S&D, SuperAntiSpyware, Ad-Aware 2007 and AVG. Most popular free antivirus programs are AVG Anti-Virus, Avira AntiVir , Avast  etc. Check out http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-sAFtLsc8e... for more details.

  3. Turn Off System Restore- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405

    Download Both of these Programs

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware and SuperAntiSpyware

    - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

    - http://www.superantispyware.com

    - Update And Scan

  4. Do this,

    Go to avast.com and download avast 4.8 home edition for free, when you install it, let it schedule the boot scan, when you restart, avast will begin to scan the pc before it even begins to load, preventing any viruses starting with windows, after avast has removed the virus files, goto www.spybot.com and install it, do a scan and let it remove the leftover components,

    WARNING:

    Any users who recommend AVG or Norton/Symantec are doomed for there pc to die because of the bad detection rates, Please use Avast OR avira Anti-vir OR Kaspersky, anything else is probably bad

  5. If there are any restores left, do another one, but I think system restore automatically deletes the other restore points... download AVG and Ad-Aware 2008 they're both free and very good Anti-Virus things. Also Download Spybot Search and Destroy. That's free. Very very powerful tool it's saved my @$$ many times before.

    Oh yea and next time don't be a r****d and download things from pop-up advertisements. It is NEVER I repeat NEVER virus-free. *Smacks you* =P

  6. Download Avast! free home edition from here http://www.avast.com

    When it installs, allow it to do a boot time scan, this will scan the PC before windows loads up, and remove what it can.

    Also download spybot search & Destroy from here http://www.safer-networking.org

    Allow it to do a full scan and delete anything that it brings up.

    This should sort it for you :)

    Just remember not to download anything that pops up in future lol a lesson well learned i hope :)
