Usb drive question HELP

Question

If I pay and ativate an antivirus/antispyware online and have it saved to a usb drive. Will I be able to run it on my laptop to get rid of the virsues on it? My laptop have a lot of message screens popping up and Im not able to get online it keeps bringing the brower back to a blank page and my cd rom is not reading any cd's so I need to find a way to run a antispyware on my latop and clean it. Will this method work? When I run the antispyware would I need to be connected to the internet in order for it ro run? HELP!!!!

Answer 1

Yes you will be able to run it provided you have the setup or installation file.

No you don't need to be on the internet for it to run.

It runs like an antivirus. The only deference is that, it protects against spywares e.g. keyloggers, worm e.t.c.

Your cd rom driver might have corrupted.

You can go to your laptop brand website to download drivers for it.

Make sure you try various CD's to verify.

Use google to search for laptop brand site if only you don't have a link to it.

Answer 2

i have no idea what viruses you have but to answer you question:

you can download the anti spyware/ virus software to a usb drive and install it on the laptop, i would not recommend installing it on the usb. So summing things up, download your software (don't install it yet) put the file on the usb, put usb in laptop. Install software on laptop, get activation code from other computer put activation code in software then scan laptop for viruses.

hope that helped!

Answer 3

well it depends on the severity of the virus! if its severe enough maybe it wont even detect your usb!

it depends on how the software is programmed.. if it needs installation then first install it..

most antivirus dont need you to stay online while scanning..

online versions exist but they can be accessed from websites of these antivirus software!
