On my computer I have three lots of virus protection OK. 1/ Xsoftspy SE 2/ The latest 2009 Norton just installed,3/ AD-AWARE latest version. Running scans the AD AWARE picks up some infections and clears them/ The new norton picks up different infections and clears them. The ZSOFTSPY which I found to be very good at one time picked up 32 infection but I had to search for them and clear them manualy. However there is still one detected on the Xsoftspy that I cannot detect to clear and I cannot clear with Xsoftspy because I have not paid the subscription. The infection it states is FlashGet,in registry key, States High Risk, and location Software\microsoft\windows\currentve I have gone to the start button, then into search and then typed in FlashGet but the search fails to detect. By the way, Norton nor AD Aware detects this infection.

  1. Trust me please, install WINDOW ADVANCE CARE.

    It removes virus, spyware, spam etc..

    I have been using it for 2 years now and you do not have to buy any anti virus cd.

    It is very effective, good luck


  2. It certainly sounds like you have been infected with some kind of malware. Unfortunately, if you find one infection, it is highly likely you have another one. A virus, trojan or worm are all different types of infections/malware and there are some great FREE programs that can help you.

    First, clean up (delete) your cookies, temp files and temporary internet files. I prefer to use Ccleaner to do this, rather than the built-in DISK CLEANUP, as I feel it does a much more thorough job - for example, it will clean out the index files on your next reboot.

    If you want to use Disk Cleanup, you can find it if you:

    - Double-Click on My Computer to open it up

    - RIGHT-click on your C: drive

    - Choose PROPERTIES and then click on the DISK CLEANUP button

    - When done, reboot your computer.

    Delete these files daily or run Ccleaner every day right before you shut your computer down.

    2 - You should also have a good anti-virus program to help protect your computer. AVG FREE is an excellent anti-virus program. You might also choose Avast or Avira, both also free programs.

    3 -Since NONE of the anti-spyware/anti-adware programs are 100% accurate in finding and removing spyware, you need at least two programs which you will run one after the other, not at the same time.

    There are three excellent free ones:

    --Spybot, Search and Destroy

    --Ad-Aware

    --Spyware Blaster

    All are available FREE.

    You will need to download, install, update (and IMMUNIZE in Spybot) and run them, one at a time. Be careful with the NAME of these programs - there are "look-alikes" with very similar names, that are in fact spyware themselves! Reboot after you install each one!

    After this current infection is cleared up, be sure to run both of the above programs at least once a week if you are on the internet frequently and/or like to download music or files.

    NOTE: Some infections prevent your from downloading the above programs. You may have to use a clean computer to download the programs and copy them to a thumb drive or CD. Then transfer the install files to the infected computer and run.

    --Occasionally you will not be able to run these programs without being in SAFE MODE.  To get there, reboot your computer and tap the F8 key, repeatedly until a menu comes up.  You want to choose SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING.

    4 -You should also have a good firewall to help protect your computer. Zone Alarm makes a totally free version (watch you don't download the 30-day free trial of the paid version). You can download this from the manufacturer at zonelabs dot com

    HTH : )

    Good luck!

    PS - Most of the above programs can be found at www.download.com

  3. go here do scan it will try to repair the file if it can't it will remove infected file for you, but just before you hit the start scan button turn off all your anti virus protection because they will stop it from removing the infected files...

  4. Don't use more than one virus protection program it can really mess up your computer. i would uninstall all except norton
