try downloading avg

hope you can still download

not familiar with this one if not hooked to net i would suggest
isolating it b4 hooking in

or loading avg on any other system using same connection first

will need downloaded updated and then scan

There should really be a search function built in to these forums, so users can look up topics related to computers affected with malware/viruses.

This would save time as 95% of the responses to people that have "x" malware/virus affecting their computer is:

Download and install "x" malware remover/AV program
Run these programs
If you have something really difficult you may need more advanced pieces of software, or take your computer in to a professional. :smile:

For that matter, a compiled list of good malware removers should be made a sticky on this forum and that sticky referred to by folks with malware issues.

Try going to download.com. there you can download AVG and a free trial of MC afee they are both free. also while you are there download Ad Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. They are 2 very good anti spyware tools also free.
