Apparently, my new computer of about a month is infected with some viruses, and i NEED a good anti virus software that i can download for free that can get rid of these viruses.
This help is urgently needed, because i had to pay about 50 for this computer, and my last one basically broke because of viruses. It is not even a month old really. Help please!?!?
I’ve found this laptop for sale and the owner claims it has a virus she didn’t want to mess with so bought a new computer. Would it be difficult to get rid of the virus, especially if you aren’t interested in anything but the software on it or would you have to replace it, and how would you get rid of it? Would software manufacturers replace the original software for free or would you have to buy new? The sale price is 0 and it’s use would be very basic, word processing and internet for e-mail and limited surfing. Would you buy this computer, assuming you are very computer savvy?
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.
i just got a new computer today and i bought the kaspersky software and got it downloaded. it was fine then it sayed my computer was at risk and i needed to update it. it never went fast but at 99% it just stops. what should i do?
Ok the current laptop I’m using is 5 years old, the disk is full, and is running slowly. I tried getting rid of some things on my computer. Still slow. Checked for viruses. None. So you would think that my dad, a computer networker engineer, would say "Ok I’m going to get a new computer, because its old and its not like we are cutting back on money and stuff." Instead he keeps procrastinating and I’m getting tired of it because this is our only computer and I need it for school and surfing in general.
So my question is what is a good laptop I can buy (0-350) that is good for internet surfing in general? I’m thinking about the 0 Dell mini but I don’t know.
What is the best anti-virus and spyware protection out there?
I just bought a new computer and I am looking for the top anti-virus and spyware protection. Any recommendations? Thanks!
i just bought a brand new computer—working fine— now i keep getting a message saying that the computer is infected! i see an icon for some "anti-virus system pro" program (which is sending me the message about the infection) opens up and scans the computer (listing all the "infections"), but when i try to open it or delete it from add/remove programs (from control panel) or even do a search of the files—nothing comes up for this program!
My laptop is right now in a horrible condition. I get a pop up literly every minute. Atleast once a day my laptop just exits out whatever I’m on. My internet speed is about a third of what it should be. Now I don’t know if I should just go buy a new virus protection thing to get rid of all my laptop’s viruses, or is it too late for it and I should just save up for a new computer? Any advice on good anti-virus software?
I got my new computer not too long ago and I don’t have any anti-virus software. Few days ago, I downloaded a songs from one web site where I use to and the anti-virus alert warned me that they found something that will steal our information from bank account and other purchased web site. It keep warning me per minute. What anti-virus software should I buy? It said your system might be at risk now. Any idea urgently please? I really appreciate it.
I just got a new computer and my old anti virus was not that good. I want to buy a good one that is at a good price.
it is getting so bad that i can’t even watch videos on itunes b/c it doesn’t run smoothly. i have defragged, used the disk cleaner, deleted the files that i don’t use, checked for viruses & spyware & adware, uninstalled the old games & mp3s & documents that i don’t use. what else can i do? it is about 4 years old & i don’t expect it to be like a brand new computer but this is just ridiculous.
btw i don’t have the $ to buy any programs or anything to do it so don’t recommend that.
its a gateway

So Norton came with my new computer and my trial is going to end in a few weeks. Is it worth buying it? Can I go to the store and buy a CD so i don’t have to continue to pay or something for years? I’m just trying to take care of my computer. Is there any free antivirus software that works well and that I can rely on that I can download off the internet (now I’m more conscious about downloading things if I’m not sure the sites legitimate)? I kind of always trusted AVG (free edition) but I’m not so sure anymore since my last computer died and the person that recommended it to me got a virus on the first computer and their current computer is slower than a turtle. I want to do what’s best for the computer so it can be among us for many year down the road yet money is tight. What do you think is the best thing to do?
use the internet service/set up an e-mail address with the main provider? I recently purchased a new computer (an inexpensive eMachine). The computer seems to have internet service through Google which I don’t really use and I have not set up an e-mail account with Google. I do have e-mail with Yahoo and through Comcast Cablevision which is my major provider/the one I am paying for. Both Comcast and Yahoo already have spyware/virus protection with their service. If I don’t set up an e-mail address through the Google account, do I need to install the "temporarily" free antivirus software (or go buy it elsewhere) that the computer keeps prompting me to do?
My friend had gone to send me a music file and neglected to tell me that her computer had a virus. Typically I have a great virus and anti-spyware protection program and will alert and quarantine before anything can, I guess embed into my files! Well unlucky and stupid me this time nothing worked!
I’ve been using it offline but now that classes are starting up soon what are my options! It’s a new computer I got it in December…um Dell Inspiron 1520 I believe. It has the TrendMicro Protection service.
I know that some places will clean it out but I am wondering if that’s safe? Also what types of places, i.e. Staples or Best Buy will do a better job of wiping it out the fastest! && If I have the computer cleaned (stupid files I added on) will it also delete my Trend Micro Program?

A couple of months ago, my younger brother visited and used my laptop while he was here. Since then, I’ve unnsuccessfully tried to take all of the adware and spyware off of my computer. It worked for a while, but now this is just getting ridiculous. I downloaded Windows Live Care antivirus software on my desktop, and it cleaned all of the virus’s off. I want to get it on my laptop, but I don’t have Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed. I’ve got my computer set so that it automatically updates everything, but still no service pack. I went to the windows update site using IE, but it comes up with an error message. Here’s the exact message, maybe you can decipher it:
[Error number: 0x80248015] "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem."
I also cannot search Google or get onto certain sites or click on certain links while using Firefox. These work in IE, but then I get bombarded with pop-ups.
I need to be able to get updates on this laptop, and I need to find a way to get Windows XP Service Pack 2 so that I can get the Windows Live antivirus, etc.
This is the computer I need to use for school, and I’d really like to be able to use it again.
I’m usually pretty good with computers, but I’m at a loss with this one. I can’t spend any money or buy a new computer.
Help? =(

he also says certain anti-virus (e.g. Norton) will bog down system so they install what works best. they won’t tell you what that is so you can just buy it. also says that there is a bunch of pre-installed software on the HP that you can’t really delete without going in to REGEDIT?? file.
is this a bunch of hooey that I would need to optimize a brand new computer?
thanks in advance.
