Computer virus/ adware Help!?!?
i do not have an antivirus program yet, but the other day I downloaded a file that contained a malicious file i ran the file and now I get random pop-ups on my computer ever once in a while. Can I still buy antivirus software and get rid of the malicious file. Any software suggestions or help?
I use Anti virus software for many years.At first I was a big fan of Mcafee and Norton until I discovered Kaspersky.I try to scan a computer with Mcafee and it didnt found nothing.I tried with Norton and it only found suspicious cookie.
Then AVG found 5 virus and finally I tried Kaspersky. It was able to delete more than an 100 virus that other antivirus couldn’t find.
My only problem is that this software come from Russia, a country where international laws make local criminal laugh.Russians are among the best programmer in the planet on top before Chinese and Indians.They are the top coders and every years they beat north Americans,Europeans and chinese at problem solving competition.Most devastating modern computer virus come from russia.
All this make me scare that Kaspersky can be a spyware itself .and there is no organization that supervise softwares.I use it for a month,everything was great until the trial finish and I didnt purchase it.After that my computer became unsuable.
Have anybody had problem with Kaspersky after their long trial?Is there any U.S organization that study those foreign software to know if they are not dangerous for people?It look like its a very powerful anti virus and I would buy it but strange thing happend to me last time I use it.I want to be sure its not Kaspersky fault,anybody had similar problem?
Those answers are very reassuring but does Kaspersky allow Americans or any foreigner to examine their source code?Many software company refuse such possibility,Microsoft is among many like that.
Examining the behavior of a software cannot guarantee that the software isn’t smart enough to behave in an certain manner to avoid being detected.Some program are even able to recode themself to modify data.A complicate security software like Kaspersky can easily have power on the resource of a computer to modify anything,including itself.
about a year ago, i purchased webroot spy sweeper. this software was pretty sweet. it kept virus outta my system, but for some reason, the sweep timing (where they check for virus in my pc) became longer and longer and soon it took about 5 hours to do a whole system sweep. so, i didn’t have much time to sweep my pc anymore. also, this product subscription has expired. now it’s hardly working. virus are over taking my pc like crazy. i need a new software to keep my computer safe again. any suggestions? what do you guys use to keep your computer virus free? if possible, i would like to have this software free to download because i can’t go out to buy any software any time soon. thanks so much.
My computer recently did a scan, and found a Trojan in an old file I’ve had for about 7 months. There has never been one there before, so I don’t know if erasing the file would work. So, for some one completely computer virus illiterate, what would be the best way to get rid of this, and is it even wise to do it myself?
Look, I don’t care how much it will costs. I’ll buy any Anti Virus and Anti Spyware no matter what the price is. So, what would you recommend to get rid of an computer virus? And one that will scan websites automatically
I have a computer virus and I can’t get rid of it. My computer is very slow now, and pop ups are going crazy
Computer virus on system that will not allow me to open or download (it indicates that my application are infected) my spyware software and anti-virus software for removal. What can I do to get my applications open so I can remove this virus.
