Stupid viruses, can anybody help me?

Question

i had this virus that put a c**p load of files onto my computer. now my norton will run for days and says it has found over 1000 viruses but they are all these files i never heard of and norton will just keep running. so is there any way to just delete all of these files manually. i noticed most of them end with " .rar ". but i can not find them. any ideas? all answers are much appreciated thank you.

Answer 1

Spyware Terminator with ClamAV integrated

Answer 2

Try going onto AVG's website as they have virus removal tools as well as a free anti-virus program. U will probably have to delete norton 1st though. I find AVG is really good and it costs nothing. Hope this helps.

Download spyware terminator. It deletes viruses and help block them.

But when you install it, run it, go to settings, go to clamAV and install that. Make sure it's engirded into spyware terminator and there you go!

Answer 6

I agree with the guy who said AVG. Like you, i had Norton as well and i hated it. Its scan was long, and cumbersome. The program was also heavy on system resources and ANNOYING. If im correct...theres a program called NONAV. You can download it and it will completely remove norton. Then download a program like AVG or AVAST home edition. Both are free and very good. Here are links:
