IF I restore my computer to the factory settings with the recovery disk that came with the system, will it remove 100% of bad stuff(pop ups, virus)
It seems grand kids have gone to sites on my computer, and now I have pop-ups and it is very sloooooooow.Can i just get an antivirus/pop-up/virus either buying it or downloading a free one to get this corrected? I called the GEEK SQUAD and they just want me to take it in and they will charge me.
thanks. lets have a safe (and end the war )new year.
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? =(

Windows said I had a trojan virus, so i bought defender pro 2009 from wal-mart. I ran the scan and it found 4 or 5 infected files. I deleted the files, but whenever I open internet explorer there are pop ups and it redirects me all over the place. Can someone please help me repair this problem?
I got a computer from a friend and I keep getting pop-ups telling me I have an ADWARE.MYWEBSEARCH.1222 trojan virus that they can’t remove.
Any tips on how to remove it?
I have just recently started getting a million pop ups and I ran windows live one care that located a "gadcom" file…related to trojan virus. OC has located and supposedly removed the same files several times. This virus is making babies!!! What is a good program to remove this and make it stop coming back?
I was trying to download the driver for my scanner and I must have gone to a bad site. Now when I start up there is a shortcut for freeprodtb on my desktop. Its causing a ridiculous amount fo pop-ups even when I’m not online!!! It’s driving me nuts. I ran AOL spyware and it didn’t remove it and I bought eTrust Pest Patrol program, yet this thing will not go away! Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a virus this morning and reformated my hard drive. Will reformating my pc remove the viruses. The virus was a bunch of pop ups saying my system was infected and the pop up said install anti virus program now. I couldn’t close any of the pop ups so I reformated my hard drive.
So I am pretty sure I have viruses and spyware on my computer because of endless pop ups, some of my applications randomly get deleted, and my computer has been slow. I downloaded the 90 day trial of mcafee and when it scanned my computer it did not detect anything. So what cam i do to remove the viruses without deleting my data?
i keep getting these stupid pop ups. i have pop up blacker and all but it doesnt stop them. i also have spy bot, norton anti virus, and mcafee, trying to detect this virus, but they all say my computer is clean. i know for sure i have this virus. how can i get rid of it?
My dad has that virus on his computer that has pop ups and tells you to buy antivirus stuff. It shows porn pics and theatens embarassment about visiting porn sites (don’t do).
I had this virus on my computer last year, and my husband’s friend founds tons of websites on how to get rid of it without downloading anything.
Where can I find that information today?
I have a friend that wants me to fix his computer, however i cant remember the name of the software i used to fix my own. I asked a long time ago on this forum on another account. Someone told me to use these two programs, they were free, enter safe mode on my computer and run them. It got rid of all pop ups and fake virus scans. Does anyone know what these programs are, or any other good programs i could use?
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
