Every time I search using Google I get redirected to an oriental page. When I click on Google.com I am sent to a page that is trying to sell me an anti virus software.
I scanned my PC using several (free) anti virus programs, it picked up two trojans which I removed.
The Google search redircting is still not resolved.
I have no problem searching with Yahoo.
Pls help if you can.
Question about virus removal.?
Tomorrow my buddy is giving me her laptop to fix(it has viruses on it). What programs do you recommend for removal or complete removal?
I wanted to reset it back to factory settings because the harddrive was given to me by a friend so all of his programs and files were on the computer. There was so much of it, I thought it would be best to just restore the laptop back to factory setting. By the way, my harddrive is by HP but the laptop itself is an IBM. the harddrive does fit the laptop. I logged into the restore managed that HP provides and I selected the setting to restore to factory setting. It went through the entire process and once it got to 100% I got an error message saying the restore process could not be complete, please try again and then the laptop restarted itself. When the laptop restarted itself, before getting the to desktop, the same error message pops up again. The moment I click ok to get out of the message, my laptop restarts and the same thing happens over and over again. Eventually I figured out that by doing alt-ctrl-delete to get into the task manager, a file shows up "audit.exe" if I end the process for it, it takes me to my desktop and everything has been fully restored. The computer fully works, but anytime I restart the computer I have to go into the task manager to end that process and be able to pull up my desktop. I am pulling my hair out because I dont know what to do to make that error message go away. I did a virus scan and theres no virus. Also, I tried going into the restore manager again to try redoing the factory restore and it wont allow me to pick that setting anymore and I cant restore to a previous date, because no restore point was created.
The only thing I can think of, is continue using the laptop as it is OR go buy windows vista and install the operating system and use that as my factory restore.
Is there anything that can be done to make the error go away?
The laptop is running on Vista, I dont have an operating system disk unless I go buy one, and im unsure how to get into safe mode because the harddrive is HP, but the laptop itself is an ibm thinkpad. im not sure if the process to start safe mode is the same for both.
If I ask my dad to buy antivirus software and other software to make my laptop faster (I think i have some viruses) does it show what sites or files the viruses came from?
I am unable to navigate to any web sites because of this pop up and I already have an anti virus on my pc it wont let me continue unless I buy the program.
Im really getting upset. My boyfriend is an idiot and got adware spyware and viruses on my computers from bad websites. I do not have the money to go buy spyware doctor or anything like that. Everytime a program says its free, it does the virus scan for free but to remove the infections it actually found it says I need to upgrade and buy the package. Any free programs or even trials that will actually remove some of the bad stuff? Thanks
Help is very greatly appreciated
The warning keeps coming like this,the unregistered antivirus agent pro has been detected. I opened the page but unfortunately there is no icon saying how to delete that. I have already Norton anti virus pro. Please help me how to remove that from task bar below.
I’m playing fallout 3 with no lag on medium with 800×600, 8x AA, No Anisotropic Filtering, HDR. My GPU can make High too but my problem here is that suddenly when i play, i get somekind of leak in the cpu. The game goes slow, fast, slow, fast slow, fast. I have to go to the menu and wait a bit and then play again for 2 min and it happens again 
This is because the CPU cache is getting full. CPU may run slow when its over heated.
My pc runs at 70+ degrees. Thats baad. When im not playing its about 67 degrees. So i think its a problem there. For some months ago my GPU died and i bought a new one 8600m gt 512mb, my old one was 8600m gs 256mb witch was slow. But…. the cooling pasta was removed and we didn’t add a new one… CAN THIS BE THE PROBLEM?! Do i need to add a new piece if cooling pasta? The pc is currently in my room witch is cold. Very cold. Im using it as a desktop but only a big screen connected to it and external disk + keyboard & mouse. Will it work to put a fan next to my pc? lol.
I got the problem away for a while while i was running with AA on 4x but it looked horrible?!!? Whats best? Higher resolution with no AA or low resolution with AA?
So, basically my question is:
Why do i get those "slowdowns" ?
How can i reduce/remove it?
Is this caused by heat?
I didn’t have any of those problems while i got my old GPU still working =(
Specs:
Acer Aspire 5920g Laptop
nVidia Geforce 8600m GT 512mb 185.86 driver (because the new one made my pc screen flicker when not connected to big screen)

Disk 1: 18 GB free space
Disk 2: 36 GB free space
External Disk: 302 GB free space

Please read the whole question. I made it as detailed as i could 
recently the buy-internetsecurity.com virus attacked my computer. My father blames it on an online game i play, "Combat-arms, and gunbound." How/where do you get this virus, or can you get harmful spyware/virus’/malware from playing online games?
I just bought a mac from the pawn shop, and i don’t know what all is compatible with it,
I’m planning to buy a new laptop. I have never used Mac. I just know that it’s more expensive than Windows , and it less risky when it comes to viruses.
I’d like to have a little change.
Do you think that Mac is a right choice?
Can you explain to me the advantages and the disadvantages of this OS?
Thanks xx

I have this virus whereby every once in a while, a link that I click will be led to some 117.pub.affirmative…etc kind of URL, and ultimately some stupid ad. it takes up so much RAM that sometimes it freezes or crashes my firefox.
i used avg before. it starts eating RAM for some reason and i always had to end process for it.
I did it before with a desktop, but just transferred files from a virus infected hard drive.
It is a 3 month old Dell under warranty. I hooked up a digital tablet for drawing. When I turned on the computer the next morning to use it, windows would not boot. Dell is sending a new hard drive, but I have a program on there that can only be installed once, and I will probably have to buy it to put it on the new hard drive.
