I used my three recovery CD’s I had made a year ago and re-did everything. I ran AVG, Norton, and several other anti-virus programs. Here is what is going on: From my Yahoo main page, I do a search. On the search results page, EVERY search result is a re-direct to buy junk or fake anti-spyware programs! When I have Google search as main page, this doesn’t happen. I can’t find any original discs, just my three recovery discs. Those took 2 1/2 hours to re-do the hard drive! I thought that would take care of it. Okay, DON’T click on this or cut and paste it: http://rds.yahoo.com/*bleep* is what is the problem. That "bleep" is a bunch of letters and numbers that re-direct Yahoo search to send me to a website to sell me junk. This virus/adware program seems to be the only one left on my computer. FIVE anti-virus sites have failed, and three recovery discs have failed, and I can’t find any original software for my HP Pavilion laptop (bought in 2006). Ideas??
By the way, I did ALL of the anti-virus stuff in Normal mode AND safe modes.

Can anyone recommend a free anti-virus and/or spyware protection to download from a safe reliable source on the internet? So far I’ve had no luck…I get stuck with the ones that say "Free!" But then you download a huge program onto your machine, then run a virus scan, then, the results to tell you how many errors/viruses/spyware you have, but THEN you have to PAY to actually have th program FIX it! That is enough to make me really MAAAAD! lol
A couple of years ago, a friend had mentioned a very goos free anti-virus to me, unfortunately I am at a loss as to what it was called or where to find it! From what I heard at the time, it was much better than anything that you could even BUY. I believe it was a German/English website (if memory serves me correctly)
So if that sounds familiar to anyone, please help! If not that one in particular, I am willing to try anything that has a good reputation, and a tried and true track record.
Thanks bunches everyonu

Please help

Please help me, my sister was using my computer and now it seems like it has a virus / spyware or whatever it is and its really annoying and I’m scared it might have stolen some of my passwords.
It is called av.exe - thats what appears on my task manager. I looked up some pages that say that help remove it but all of them imply downloading something and when i try to download it, it seems a bit too suspicious, like another spyware.
ALSO, MY ANTI VIRUS EXPIRED AND I DONT THINK I CAN BUY ANYTIME SOON.
How can i get a virus removed for free?
i have an hp computer and it has both spyware and adware..i would take it somewhere but we don’t have the money to..does anyone know a website that can do it for free? i’ve tried looking, but everyone of them has a catch where you do end up having to buy it..thanks for your help!
Yea sure…I couldn’t even get on internet explorer or my email accounts. My husband had to erase everything except my emails and bookmarks—everything else-gone! Is there another way of doing this without having to go to so much trouble? Now my daughter is having the same problem. People need to be aware that these ads are sneaked in on other websites and people just don’t notice them.
Im on the internet all the time, playing with myspace and face book.
That’s about all I do. My son is on his computer with U-Tube all the time.
Couple years back I went out and bought a virus software back age, was insane price,
had the license for a year, and renewed for a few yrs after. And than it was done. And so am I with that.
So I’d like some advice on something reliable and totally free to USE (not just to download)
that will be good for ERRORS and BOTS/TROJANS on your COMPUTER & for your INTERNET browsing.
If you could recommend one for both virus and one for spyware, that is totally free to use -
I would so much appreciate it.
ThankHopeHopey
A friend did a really STUPID thing on my computer. He looked at porn and there is spyware or a virus on there. It has ALL of our family photos, about 80% of it can’t be brought back if I can’t get those files back. I will be devistated! :*( Please someone tell me there is a way to clean the spyware or virus without losing those pictures!! Is it a virus or is it spyware? It basically is saying that there is a virus on my pc. Like it is trying to sell me some anti-virus.
I have Norton anti-virus…I guess it snuck past?

They install fine but when it comes to actually running the program they disappear. They appear in task manager for about 15 sec and then disappear.
The ones I have tried are: SpyBot, MalwareBytes, Ad-aware, TrendMicro Hijack, Iobit Security 360.
Have tried to run them in Safe Mode but my safe mode is disabled and just restarts the computer. Help, anybody. What to do. And please don’t answer REFORMAT.

I allowed my notebook to be used for a presentation and now it seems i am infected. Will appreciate any help
so one of those geek squad guys at best buy told me that if i want the best anti-virus program, i have to get one from a company known for anti-virus programs and the best anti-spyware would be a different company who specialize just in that. basically, there’s no one brand i could buy, that could do both and match the two separate programs in quality. is this true? or was this guy just trying to sell me an extra program when one could do both and be is just as good? i don’t know if it matters but he recommended web root (spyware) and trend (anti-virus).
