OrangeBurn Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I think my computer has some Trojan Horses. Can anyone reccomend a right good anti Virus programme which will get all this shite out my computer? Internet running slow, things popping up in the task bar etc. Cheers fellow bears.

mrmytto Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 People speak highly of something called AVG and also Spyboy search and destroy. Failing that you could also format your PC which would also get rid of them, although you'd have to save files that you wanted to keep on a CD, USB stick or something like that. AVG Another AVG download Spybot search & destroy. The two below I got from a google search, both should be fine though. Virus and trojan remover Avast You could also go to download.com to download virus software if you don't trust these sites. After you have got rid of the virus' download Mozilla Firefox, it's a lot safer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox blocks a lot of virus' ect... When I was using internet explorer I constantly got things saying that it was unsafe, so I now use firefox and it's great! I used to always get tracking cookies (low risk), but now I don't get any. I'd say it was safer, Google chrome is meant to be safe too, can't comment on that because I've never used it.

TinyPaedoLikesTinyPeople Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 mrmytto does love choring my ways of getting rid of viruses although i wouldn't use AVG.... Google is the answer.... These viruses are a bit of a c u nxt tuesday, After all norton is bad. here's a program that you should use to search your computer and it should get rid of the wee bassa Get Avira or Nod32 do a full scan Do a Spybot scan and use their immunize tool If you don't have these programs then find these programs on www.download.com hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 avast is all you need. Blocks pretty much every virus - even that AVG site mrmytto just linked to. Just leave it running 24/7 with the Standard/Network Shield. Sygate 5.6 is a good free firewall. Get Spybot and Ad-Aware for spyware removal.

OrangeBurn Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Cheers lads. I downloaded a Anti-Virus and Spyware remover and tried to repair the files, but it changed soemthing in the registry and now it wont let me log on to my computer...something called a Log on/off virus. So it's in the shop getting fixed. £50 down the shiter, but I guess its worth it considering the amount of time I spend on my computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
