It seems grand kids have gone to sites on my computer, and now I have pop-ups and it is very sloooooooow.Can i just get an antivirus/pop-up/virus either buying it or downloading a free one to get this corrected? I called the GEEK SQUAD and they just want me to take it in and they will charge me.
thanks. lets have a safe (and end the war )new year.
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following linkhttp://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
go to google.com and type in spyware terminator, then click im feeling lucky. download the program it will help a lot. disable popups using intere=net security in spyware terminator
Use spy-bot search and destroy, ad-aware and avg- all free
Use ad-block plus and firefox for pop-ups
run http://housecall.antivirus.com and when all your spyware and viruses are gone go to avast 4.7 and download it and all your problems will be solved.
if you have to ask, then yer better off taking to a local tech.
