[armin922]

Well i have ad aware 2008 Plus Edition and it doesnt seem to work very well. How do i get this virus off? Or what do u all use for antivirus, and deleting them and etc. Do most of u pay? Or do u get it for free? BTW when i go to different sites, this window always pops up. It shows up on the url about:blank Is this a virus on my computer doing this shit to it?

so i tried dloading and that pop up "blocked" screen keeps popping up. any ideas?

[Richard Cranium]

I run AVG (free version) on all my systems. Avast I have heard is another good free product. Be VERY careful of any error message saying you have a virus. Unless it is coming from an antivirus program, then most likely it is a virus itself. More often than not they direct you to a website where you can pay to download a program to fix things.

[armin922]

btw, are any of these free

i use chuck norris as my anti virus....

[armin922]

yeah i did get something that popped up and said i had a virus and detected it and to click download. Its called personal AV (antivirus). but now that blocked screen keeps popping up and it gives me two options, to either continue unprotected or to download the antivirus or whatever. Im thinking when i clicked that it was some sort of virus. What do u think i should do?

[KillJoy]

All that I listed are freeware for individual users.

 

If wanted, you can bring me your PC (I am in Galloway), and I will get it cleaned up for you.

Stop looking at Bear/Cub porn. ImUrOBGYN had the same problem from a site that matches "bears" with "cubs".

The bad thing with the spyware that is on your pc is this: If you enter Safe Mode, no application will be allowed to load, with a DOS Box that pops up saying that the Program is to large to load into Memory.

never have had an antivirus but i use spybot, never to this day have i gotten a virus or anything spyware related

[TTQ B4U]

AVG

Malwarebytes

SuperAntiSpyware

 

I run all three and have had zero issues. Prior, running Norton's or McAfee and ad aware I was hit numerous times.

 

Download the above, boot in safe mode, run the above and you should be fine.

[Comebackkid]

I use defender pro 5 in 1 it's 20$$ at walmart and never had problem

If a website came up and scanned your HDD and said you have a virus it was just trying to sell you something or trick you into clicking on something to install a virus:-)

 

Usually if I suspect I have a malware infection I just restore from a few days ago and all is fine.

[Rally Pat]

I don't use one.

[Mr. Jones]

I use Microsoft Common Sense 10.5 Deluxe.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

http://malwarebytes.org/

 

Avast! Antivirus (I stopped using AVG. It's become a bloated pig who COULD NOT find everything and was overrun recently. I was unable to count on it and had been disappointed in it since updating/upgrading to the newest version.)

http://www.avast.com/

 

Spyware Blaster (I used to use Spybot Search and Destroy but found it misses many things, too. Not everything program is perfect, however, my current programs are better than my old ones at doing their jobs.)

http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

 

These next two programs are not for everyone. However, you may want to look into them. They both have huge online followings/tech helpers on various, well-known forums.

ComboFix (which runs a version of HiJack This (among other things) when you run it.) I know the website Bleeping Computer uses combofix and offers support for those not so savvy.

 

All these are free or have free versions.

why are you trying to detect the virus on the system, never let it on in the first place.
