I started this blog after I got so mad of myself and the world.
I paid this "computer expert" a $100 to fix my computer after
it got a virus. Everything was ok for a week and then I got
another virus - I didnt have the money to pay that guy again
or to buy all these big companies software that cost just as much.
I had to find a good anti virus product
that i could afford.
Luckily I stumbled on this great forum where I read many
recommendations about full-antivirus-safety.com.
So I decided to open a site and help out women like me that got a virus on their computer
and dont want to spend too much
money on an anti virus program. So I got my friend to help
me and her insisted that I will also mention CA antivirus since thats the best software he
has used since he got his first computer in 1998.
Take care

Found a Windows Virus warning msg on my desktop after I accidentally click on a virus file. It also removed my screen saving function from the control panel. Wonder how I can recover it and also remove the warning msg. Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

Great, install these and run in SAFE MODE! I can’t stress that enough. I f you do not, the virus will block your attempt to remove it. Be sure to run all of these at the same time and don’t restart until all three are done. Hope this helps! It worked for m, and i had over 200 different malwares.
