    « on: February 02, 2010, 02:53:24 PM »
    I use Avast Virus program and it is FREE

    But it keeps finding all of these Viruses  so I scan and Fix all and run it in Safe Mode and do the same thing.

    It still wont get rid of them.
    Does anyone know of a good FREE Virus program???
    PS  yes I did the update

    First we need to know what Avast is complaining about. It's not good to do a bunch of changes to an infected computer.

    Scan your computer with Panda ActiveScan

    * Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC now button.
    * A new window will open...click the Scan Now button.
    * If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it.
    * It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan. (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
    * You may get a warning from Internet Explorer that Panda is ready to install, please allow it.
    * The scan will begin. Please be patient as it can take an hour or more to complete.
    * When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the Export to: button (looks like a little Notepad).
    * Save the ActiveScan.txt to a convenient location like your desktop.
    * Note: You do not need to select any of the Disinfect options. We will remove any threats manually.

    * Post the contents of the ActiveScan report in your next reply.

      I did the scan like you told me to  and it found 32 Infected Items.

      It was only at 20  percent  and I had to stop because it was taking all day.

      I have no time left so I will have to get this out somehow.
