I am looking for a personal antivirus software. easy to use, light on pocket, and not taking too much memory. what do you suggest is a good choice.
I need it to be a free program because i do not have the money to pay for one.
Ok so a friend of my b/f was staying with us and I let him use my laptop at nite when I went to bed but soon stopped letting him when I found out he was watching porn on it. But it was too late. I now have some kind of virus on my computer. It says its called virus 2009. It keeps prompting me to download it so it can get rid of viruses. Im pissed. So I was just wondering if there was anyway to erase it off my computer without buying an anti-virus disk.. And if theres not, then what is the best anti-virus program to buy?
I need protection for my computer, and it needs to be able to remove viruses, spyware, etc. FREE please.
I have a MacBook Pro and want to buy a really good anti virus programme as I open alot of sites i’m pretty sure are packed with trojan horses and spyware. Can anyone recommend the best specifically for Mac?
Thank you!
my computer has a trojan horse virus and its annoying the hell out of me…how do i remove it from my computer?????
I bought an ex display laptop but realised the shop I bought it from, Comet, had already made their own settings etc on the laptop. For example, the C drive is called ‘comet’ and although I can change the name of the computer when I receive files and download things they are always saved under the name ‘comet’. Also, when I turned my laptop on it started up just as if I had used it before (because its ex-display). For some reason I can’t help feeling this laptop is second hand, even though it hasnt been used before exept to show people in the shop.
Is there a way I can restore the laptop to its factory/original settings so that when I turn it on it is as if it has never been used before and I am the first person to have used the laptop? I want to run the startup seetings that would have run if the laptop was turned on for the first time.
I have a HP G60 and it is on windows vista home premium.
However, I don’t really want to lose certain things such as the Norton anti virus that was already running on this laptop and has a month left, or programs such as microsoft word or windows defender.
Thanks for your help it is appreciated!
i have a bunch of virus and trojans and spyware malware, on my computer and don’t want to pay for a antivirus program anyone know a link or site to get a free one and not just one that scans your computer then makes you buy it to delete then I NEED A FREE ONE IM BROKE!! please and thankyou!!
But it does not damage my PC
I was recently swarmed with a severe malware oriented virus that no matter how many spyware/antivirus oriented programs/software I bought like Norton Antivirus (which I was told for 80 bucks is crap) but I guess I went with the old adage I get what I pay for and then I bought Trend Micro (was also told by the best buy sales associate that it rivals NAV) but it still didn’t help. So I pretty much stripped the 5 year old HP Pavilion desktop that I had back to factory settings, knock on wood the icons are ridiculously HUGE but its been 3days and I haven’t had a whiff of pop up/spyware crap come my way (yet), though my Windows XP was restored to factory settings.
So what can I install on this system so I don’t end up with another Vundo/malware oriented Trojan. I don’t want to install my NAV Antisecuirty software pacakage b/c I was told it was crap & now I can’t seem to trust the generic TrendMicro, so now what do I install so this computer combats any/all update troublesome viruses Thnx

I’ve tried SpyBot, AVG AntiVirus, McAfee, and Windows Defender. Windows Defender has been the most successful but it still hasn’t erased all traces of spywar/viruses. Please someone help me!
I have about 23 threats on my computer right now and i need them off! its messing with my computer. i don’t have the money to actually buy flat out an anti virus software. but are there any good free anti virus software that will REMOVE these threats off of my computer?! i really need this stuff of. i can already see it doing things to my system. oh and what is a good one to "buy" once i have the money anyway?
Okay, I’m going to buy an Anti-Virus Program called Kaspersky.
I’m going to buy or download an Anti-Spyware Program (don’t know of a good one yet)
But I was wondering what other programs I should run on this laptop? I won’t be using tons of programs, mostly for surfing the net and email and Adobe Flash.
Okay, so this afternoon I want to buy the AVG AVG Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware this afternoon, but I would like some reviews if anyone has to links to any, or has had Any Experience with is.
Thanks!!!
I want to BUY it so I at least I know I am covered and don’t get "Well your using the free version so…blah blah blah."

I’m looking to buy a laptop under 0, hopefully a Mac, slightly used or new, with capacity for Photoshop CS3 and a decent amount of memory. I’m a senior in highschool and my computer has basically crashed due to the WIndows XP AntiVirus 2008 Virus, and I’ve tried at least twenty different methods of getting the virus off and nothing seems to work.
I’ve resorted to just buying a laptop, but it definitely needs to be able to hold Photoshop.
Any ideas?
Thank you guys so much!

EDIT:
Thank you for the advice– I was originally just going to get it wiped clean, but my parents were saying it would cost somewhere around 0. From what you’re saying, though, it should cost about 0 and save me a lot of trouble.
Thanks again!
It’s so annoying! I got it like two or three days ago and I can’t get it to stop! It says I can’t disable it unless I buy the software which is way expensive! But my grandpa thinks we DON’T have to buy it. Do I have to buy it or is there some other way I can remove it?
It just got onto his computer today. How do you remove it?
its almost 1 month now… i have this virus called quicktime.exe and x.exe the AVG antivirus and SpyBot S&D keep detecting and removing it but still… it seems that this virus is immortal… many expert on the forum i visited that once infected by a backdoor trojan the only way to remove it is to format the pc… there must be a way to remove it, pls help…
I bought a new laptop because my old laptop was old and was getting slow. Plus it had many spyware and virus problems.
I bought the external hard drive to keep almost everything on, so I’m sure it too has some spyware/virus issues. How can I reformat it so I am safe to use it with my new laptop?
Thanks
Thanks for the answers. Everything I wanted from it is sitting on my old desktop’s hard drive.
I just bought a new hp desktop 6 days ago with amd athlon 5600+ windows vista home premium 3 gb ram 500 gb sata hard drive im not really quite sure but i think the video memory is only 128 mb… the computer comes with a free 60 day trial to use norton but this sunday i will have a comcast provider for internet and they have that service that comes with mcafee and my computer has that windows defender thing not quite sure what the differences are but the people that sold the comp to us warned us to buy a antivirus software because they’re computer got attacked by viruses or either got hacked and needed to buy a new one…
P.s. I havent used the free 60 day norton thing I dont really have internet yet im waitin for comcast and either today or tomorrow i will buy a new antivirus/spyware software for my comp…
