I’m having a issue understanding virus protection because I had a virus before and Dell tech team said I needed to reformat pc and I did. I downloaded viruus protection programs and aren’t them programs to remove the virus? Say if I downloaded a song from LimeWire what is the virus protection will do? Are the free AVG protections good or is better buying protections instead of getting a free version? Some sites I go to ads appear when closing, how can I prevent that do I need a spyware protection?

I have McAfee virus protection plus "super anti spyware" program. I do the scan everyday, delete temp. internet files(cookies, etc.), clean my hard drive, and defragment it. I still get pop ups eventhough the pop up blocker is on, plus when these ads for a virus protection come up, they block pictures. Not to mention, I have two trojans to get rid of which are called Winfixer and Vundo..anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

if im getting the same company’s virus protection again, do i have to uninstall the old one?

like lets say you have mcafee and you get another mcafee but a different version. like internet security or 360.

and im thinking about getting a cd, not renewing it online

Ever since my mom baught this virus protection, my brother installed it (hes 20) and im 15, but im pretty good with computers, just not the best. Lol, Well, I lost limewire, and tabs, and now my computer wont recognize my mp3. It was a while back, but i really wanna add songs onto my mp3 and i want my tabs back, i dont care about limewire though. Can someone help me?

I used a thumb drive and installed Malwarebytes onto my laptop and it removed the Antivirus 2009. Now I can surf the web, get windows updates and things I couldnt do before. But, when I go to get Mcafee from comcast something blocks the page from being viewed. How can I get around this to access virus protection?
