Computer Experts .......... I NEED HELP!

[classicrockgriller]

I Downloaded Foxfire and from there I was able to go to Snapfish and download Ad-aware,

but before I could launch it, the virus found it and stopped it from working.

I even tryed to run the file in Safe Mode and no go.

I did a system restore from a week ago and right now everything is fine. (I think)

I am going to Foxfire and re download Ad-aware along with an updated AV protection

and ...............

NO MORE TYPING IN FRENCH! ;D

Thanks everybody.

I guess that's one way to get you to stop going wee wee all over the place  ;D

You can give Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool a try. I can guarantee it, but that often works.

Now that's just funny!

But the truth is that there is some good information in this thread!    ;D

I recommend everyone have a subscription to MalwareBytes!  It has saved my butt on multiple occasions and is updated regularly.  Can also be run off a thumb drive to remove malware from other machines. This is NOT anti-virus software, it finds and removes malware as you are describing.

Puter is running great.

I am trying to get use to FireFox.

It doesn't like me. ;D

I de/fragged and I compressed and probably a cple of other things.

Good to hear! I've been using Chrome for the past month or so.  Faster than IE but still has some quirks that annoy me.

Someone told me tonite that Chrome was even faster than FF.

I am Old and can only learn one at a time. ;D

I've met you, you aren't "OLD" sir.

[classicrockgriller]

I've met you, you aren't "OLD" sir.

But that was 6 months ago. ;D

[DarqMan]

Okay, you're "6 months" older... but certainly not OLD. ;D

Just one more thing. When any popup comes up and tells you about antivirus needed, if you hit yes or no it can infect you. Best to ctrl alt del and select task manager and close that window from there.
