RE: Antivirus plus Mick Murphy 12/9/2008 11:29:00 PM Install Malwarebytes and Spybot Search & Destroy. You might have to do everything, (install, update, scan, etc), in Safe Mode with Networking. All info below. And scan with your AV as well while there. http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program. Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it. Then SCAN with it. Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover! For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from Download.com, or Major Geeks.com Download, install, and update. Important re: Safe Mode If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot the computer, and go into Safe Mode. To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER. RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D while in Safe Mode. If unable to install above Programs in Normal Mode: Sometimes Trojans, Viruses, Malware, etc stop you installing and/or updating Programs to remove them. If that happens, reboot into Safe Mode with Networking, and install, update and scan from there. -- Mad Mike "stoptheantivirusplus" wrote: [Quoted Text] > spelling mistakes sorry > > "stoptheantivirusplus" wrote: > > > I was on my myspace the other day then it started freezing and it wouldnt let > > me get back on internet explorer.

It is called "rogue" because it pretends to be A Good Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!

However, in many cases the computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean. If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer professional.
