I use mcafee but Its a pretty old version
does this mean that the subscription has run out ?
If it has please download the following......
1. ccleaner.... from
http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ Install it without the Yahoo toolbar....
but don't run it at this time.2. AVG free antivirus...... from
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/ install it, update it .....
but don't run it at this time.3. AVG Antispyware .... from
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5install it, get the latest update.....
but don't run it at this time.Next , shutdown your existing outdated McAfee AV .......... ( remove it if you wish as you wont need it anymore.)
Then ..... open ccleaner and run the cleaner portion ( the brush icon) click on run cleaner and when it has reached 100% ........ click run cleaner again and all that was found will be removed.
Run cleaner again to be sure it got everything.
Now then reboot into SAFE mode ( as soon as the pc shuts down and just begins to boot up again ....repeatedly tap the F8 key untill you are offered differant start options....... choose Safe Mode....... Let it load. ( it will look differant than the normal mode.........
Next find the shortcut to AVG free antivirus and do a full scan.
Once it's finished ....and it will take a while ...... either quarantine or delete anything it finds.
Next ...... close that up and open AVG Antispyware .... and do a full scan with it as well. Remove anything it finds.
Now reboot back into normal mode and report back how things are.
If things are still not right, open up hijackthis ( which I'm assuming you have D/L per CBMatt ) and do a scan and post the results here . Use several posts if necessary to get it all in .
