  1. it means you have a virus plain and simple it will mess up your computer. I would download avg 8 free and spyware doctor starter edition to get rid of the virus's. i would also download adaware se personal to get rid of extra spyware. That should get rid of everything. Don't wait and reboot in safe mode and scan again, it will take a long time but you need to do it or it will just get worse. You can ge all the downloads i mentioned at download.com


  2. These are infections found on your computer. Use superantispyware to remove them and make sure there are no other threats....also use hijackthis. I am not sure what they exactly mean.  

  3. fixmycomp.co.nr

  4. The first three are trojans the last one is adware.

    To remove the trojans you need to do the following:

    1. update your Antivirus program.

    2. turn off system restore

    3. re boot in safe mode

    4. run your Antivirus program

    5. re boot if clean turn on system restore.

    To remove your adware just run your antispyware programs.

    Trojan.Fakealert means you could have a rogue on your PC like xp antivirus:

  5. those trojans are more like spyware/virus, they could slow your computer down big time. The adaware.hotbar.222 is spyware-adaware.

  6. trojan - malware that appears to perform a desirable function but in fact performs undisclosed malicious functions

    adware - any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used

    if you want to know more about the specific files that were on your computer then google it

  7. What ever they mean make sure you remove them. Forget about what they mean be aware of what can they do to your computer.

    Trojan Fakealert: consists of files that cause false warnings of spyware on the computer.

    Look for the rest on yahoo it will give you the information about the rest.
