What virus protection program is best for me?

October 10, 2009

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?

How come at random websites I keep on getting virus protection pop ups?

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!

Windows Vista Problems?

October 4, 2009

I’ve had Vista Home Basic for about a year now, never had any problems with it been going great. But last week the electric went so my computer wasnt shut down properly. Since then had a few problems….

Firstly sometimes when I turn my computer it keeps asking if I want to start in Safe Mode, or some of the other options… Whats that about?

Secondly, when I do get logged in, my time and date keeps changing EVERYTIME!!! And to something stupid… My date at the moment is 1601 lol

Thirdly, also when I log on I get a load of pop ups from windows saying a load of my programs are not working properly….

And finally… Firefox, keeps playing up. Whenever I try to get onto sites I always visit… Hotmail, Facebook, etc etc, even this site. Keeps asking me to get a security certificate.

Can anybody please help me with any of these problems? I’m pulling my hair out here lol 🙁

P.S – I’ve ran all my virus protection, Registry cleaner etc etc, and tryed system restore but nothing seems to work. Really don’t want to have to do system recovery 🙁

Thanks in advance!
