I have some spyware virus on my other computer and i cant go on sites or anything because it keeps sending me to some virus scan page. I even used it but it only scans and doesnt delete the problems. Does anyone know any programs i can download to get rid of the virus? I have ad-aware and avg but i scanned with both of those and the virus is still there. XO

..im on my laptop atm.

Because people like us will help him?

Try running the virus scans in Safe Mode, which is usually achieved by hammering the F8 button as soon as you switch on your computer and selecting it from the menu.

A few other things, also turn off system restore. Some viruses use that to restore themselves.

Well right now im using this avast program and its scanning the computer right now and it seems like its deleting the problems on the computer because it gave me he choice to do so. Do you guys know if Avast will fix the problem?

I'm using the "free Home version of avast".

no program gets rid of all viruses/spyware/ect.
so eventually you will get something that you will never be able to get rid of
which means you are doing something you shouldnt be
and firefox blocks spyware and from my knowledge/experience
i.e. doesnt

It doesn't necessarily have to be manually. :P There's ways you can do it WITHOUT ****ing your computer up yourself. XD

A few other things, also turn off system restore. Some viruses use that to restore themselves.

Offtopic: I had a Trojan do that to me once. It was spreading through all of my files, so I started chasing it. :P It finally got there and started to jump FASTER than normal. Freakin' annoying Trojans. -_-

What do you mean manually?
Like finding the file causing it and deleting it?
I heard that if you do that, then your screwed.
It'll just go into your hard drive or whatever.
