aslan....
do we have to buy another computer?
LOL ..... Would you run out and buy a new car because the one you have has a flat tire ? ....... Of course you wouldn't .........you would fix the flat.
We also have Norton anti-virius/firewall but it is expiried and we can't access anything on that program.........We have run spy sweeper, registry mechanic, ad-ware, spam subtract, spy subtract, spyware dr. and installed win patrol, zone alarm and possibly others.
Ok ..... first off , I would suggest removing the expired Norton product from your machine ....... ( this would include any referance to Norton in the registry and there will be a number of them )
Then I would stongly suggest D/L a free anti virus ...... like AVG get it at ......
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download886.html The other applications you mentioned do not provide any virus protecion ......... and the "possibly others" one is totally unknown to me.
Which operating system are you using ?
I would also be D/L and installing ....CCleaner ..... get it at .....
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ ...then set it up like this .......
http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1144186359Once you have run the cleaner .........
If your O/S is Win XP , Turn off the system restore feature and
reboot into SAFE mode and run a full system scan with AVG ........
When that is complete and you have no viruses , Reboot back into Normal mode ......and open IE ........ click on tools /Internet option/security tab ....... and click on the default settings.......then click "apply" and then "ok"
Now try accessing one of your secure sites.........
Let us know how it goes .
