I have a problem with my computer, there’s a file I found in the folder of MY DOCUMENTS, it’s "SPIDER.SAV". I think it’s a virus, coz i try to delete this, but after rebooting my system, it was still there, I have tried many Anti-Virus, but they didn’t detect it as a virus. can someone from the group knows how to remove this.

New Laptop Problem, i bought new dell studio 17 laptop. But my internet explorer still takes time to open with/without internet.

Dell Studio 17 inch screen, 4gb ram, 500 gb hard drive, intel core 2 duo T-6500m, processor speed 2.1 ghz, Windows Vista premium.

Now my problem is that internet explorer or firefox still takes time to open, infact its the same as my desktop which is 1gb ram 80gb hrd drive and 2 ghz . Now i asked the geek squad or technicians in best buy and he told me that there is some super fetch thing in new computers so he said it will be abt a month for my laptop to get use to what I do i.e i work on multiple explorers(5-8)and couple spreadsheets. NOW i don’t what should I do? will it really make or real fast after a month or so, but what it don’t.
SHOULD I WAIT OR SHOULD i RETURN AND GET SOME ELSE, COS I CANNOT RETURN AFTER 14 DAYS ARE OVER. please HELP TO MAKE TO MAKE A DECISION.
And if i should return it what kind i should and with what specification.

Be free to be subjective and tell in detail whats going on.

internrt explorer/ fire fox does take time but not really long time. Point is that my 1gb ram take same or almost same time . and I was expecting that 4gb would be real fast.

and I dont want to buy anything expensive than this cos those are for gamers of artists ..but all i need to open multiple explorers fast.

I also installed kaprasky anti-virus but was told it does not make computer slow as compared other anti-viruses in the market.

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).

I just put my new computer online and downloaded avg syware and antivirus, I also have ada-ware and spy-bot insalled but I keep getting notices that my computer is infected eventhough I have used all programs and scanned repeatedly. Is there anything else I can do. Also with every warning the same anti virus or spyware programs keep coming up and I am wondering if those sofhtware manufacurers have the virus in there to get you to buy the program.

Hi i don’t know alot about computers and but bought a macbook today ive always had PC’s before this and was just wondering if im suppose to have anti virus for a mac or not,

My computer is already infected with spyware, and trojans and what not. And these windows keep popping up telling me to buy the anti-spyware for my windows xp, but if i bought it.. would it take out the viruses out of my hard drive and everywhere else they might be..or would it just prevent more virus infections? are the ones online even legit? or should i just go out and buy nortons? I think im just going to go to a computer specialist so they can take them out, But i’m just curious because that way I wouldnt have to spend so much money.
By the way, ive already tried the "free" anti-virus things online like that superspyware thing, and the other ones people suggested. Someone told me they were free, and they were NOT.

ok I just bought my laptop a few days ago. and then while I was in facebook, my browser(firefox) just redirected me to another site and then the site did like a virus scan on my laptop and it says that my laptop has a lot of viruses in it. I tried to cancel it but whenever i click "cancel" the site was recommending me to download something. I didn’t download it but I used my anti-virus (Avast!) to scan my hard drive but it didn’t find anything. So what do you guys think? Does my computer have a virus or it’s just nothing? It just started to do it yesterday and it happened again today. And it just redirected me to the website when I was in facebook(today and yesterday).

Every five minutes I get this pop up that says "Your computer is at risk and WARNING Attack Detected" It keeps on and on and on every five minutes or so and my Windows Vista keeps popping up wanting me to buy spyware and anti-virus programs.

I bought a laptop with McAfee virus protection already on it. I have had the laptop for a couple of years now and have not continued this virus protection. I was using Avast virus protection (free online download) for awhile, until I got a virus and ended up buying Webroot to get rid of the virus. The virus is now gone but whenever I turn my laptop on, McAfee always pops up and says that part of it is incomplete. It is annoying because it keeps popping up about every 2 minutes. I tried to go into add/remove programs and remove McAfee but it will not allow me. I click on the "remove" box, the hourglass thing appears for a second but nothing happens. Any help on removing the program would be appreciated. I no longer need it since I have Webroot Anti virus.

Is it because you supposedly buying a OS that gets no viruses? Isn’t cheaper to buy an anti virus on windows? I use windows for years and I only have minor issues.My friends are pushing me to get a Mac but I need a really good reason if I have to spend over 00 on a laptop. Is there something extraordinary Macs can do that windows can’t?

I had a virus and it’s popping back up now and again
I also keep getting popups and ads randomly on pages and also loading up in new internet explorers (see link http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/4527/popupnv2.png )

Also, some of the popups are trying to get me to download spyware software (i already have some). I know full well of this being a scam as it is a trick by the hacker when he drops a virus in to drop stuff in to make you buy the stuff to get software which will "supposedly" remove the spyware.

Whilst typing this, it has reopened myspace i.m and 3 chatrooms without me telling it to do so.

Another key problem, possibly the worst of them, is a windows error i get. This image might help you all …. http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/1465/83263195gr1.png

For yuor information, my:
anti virus - Comodo
Anti spyware - AVG

Can someone PLEASE tell me what the hell this virus is! i’ve scanned and scanned and i keep getting attacked by stuff and its pissing me off.
For your information, in regard to the c++ one, it closes the explorer taskbar at the bottom and then reloads it a few seconds later

Also, internet explorer is slow

I have Webroot anti-virus program on my computer and it won’t get rid of the trojan virus I have. Why not? And is there a good anti-virus program I can download and keep for free?

Share This

just wondering

if this really solves the virus and spyware problem without having to buy expensive software and it’s not one of those anti virus companies that make the viruses themselves
those who preferanother anti-virus program tell me also please tell me another free anti-spyware program that everyone trusts

I can’t afford tp buy an expensive anti-virus.. I need one for my new pc.

The pop ups are gone now after i used AVG but now on the bottom right corner of my screen it says that my computer is at risk and that i should download a certified anti virus and spyware protector. How do i get rid of that because i know that eitehr spyware or a virus put that there. I used spy-bot search and destroy but it didnt find anything and i used AVG which cured the pop ups but im still getting the same sign. So what should i do now and should i go into safemode? please help and fast

Hi
I bought my son a cd software that is an anti-virus program. Can he install it on his computer, and then I take the same cd and install it on my computer? or is it a 1 computer thing?

just got a trojan adware.w32.expdwnldr virus which keeps popping up a system alert saying I have to pay for anti spyware to fix it. I’ve read that people have downloaded and removed it with spynomore, so i payed dollars did a full system scan deleted and removed any trojan viruses that were found. I’ve restarted the computer several times and also tryed different programs like kaspersky, super anti virus remove, registry cleaner, and trojan removed. Still no luck. All it really did was cut down on popups and the alert doesn’t pop up as much, but it still does. I want to get rid of for good! Please help me!
