get an anti virus program, like Norton Antivirus 2004.......


RE: pc in mess by tomfletcherman on 07-01-2004 at 05:06 PM

Well i'm using 2002, and ad-aware and spybot. I know what these are but not what they do and am now removing them slowly. But sitl, help on registry keys so they don't come back?

have you been updating your Antivirus softwear??? u need to run live update regularly, and scan ur system. Norton should get rid of them itsself


RE: pc in mess by tomfletcherman on 07-01-2004 at 05:09 PM

I'll do a live update now, thanks


RE: pc in mess by bach_m on 07-01-2004 at 05:14 PM

and a scan of your computer. theres no point in having a program on your computer if u don't use it

I have norton firewall 2002, AVG6, ad-aware and spybot, i've run them all and they havn't picked up these files. Im updating my firewall so it wont ahppen again, but I need a free program that will find and delete these files


RE: pc in mess by bach_m on 07-01-2004 at 05:24 PM

not a firewall. you need an antivirus, like Norton AntiVirus 2003. it gets rid of viruses like this. you can go out and get it from a store, or find a free copy ;)somehow;)

Well it seems to be all gone now, thanks for your help. AVG isn't much good anymore, I think i'll be finding another antivirus
