Be sure to restart your computer after you remove the virus though. (otherwise it isn't removed, works this way with every antivirus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glory_Days Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you can't access the websites he gave you (I can without any problem), the best way to install these programs would be to go to a friend's house, download the programs, put them on a USB clip and install them on your computer. I'm pretty sure you can at least open up the programs if you have them on USB clip. If that doesn't work, i'm not sure what would... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmash Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 for anti-virus, AVG is all you really need. for spyware, it's best to have a number of programs Unfortunately, none of the programs are very complete, and the best way to fight spyware is to install all of them (unlike anti-virus software, multiple anti-spyware won't conflict). The three you want are: - Ad-aware - Spybot - Microsoft Anti-spyware (Google them). Other tips to improve your security is at a minimum turn on Windows Firewall (or even better, install a stand alone firewall like ZoneAlarm) and avoid using internet explorer (although they have taken huge steps in the last few years to fixup some of the many, many security holes).
