Question Posted Thursday February 21 2008, 2:00 am
I keep on getting this pop-up (it looks pretty official looking, but I'm afraid to click it just in case its spam).
Anyways, what it says is something along the lines of "You are not aware that when you visit porn sites things download themselves onto your computer. To delete these files press ok (recommended)."
I'll admit, I've visited a porn site before. And now I'm scared that I have a virus (which I do.. some sort of trojan or whatever) but I mean a virus that will make porn pop-ups appear on the screen all the time, which would not be good. Try explaining that to your parents.
I deleted my history and all the files I have downloaded.
Can anyone suggest something that will kill the virus and delete any of those things that have downloaded themselves onto my computer? And please be detailed and it has to be free.
now :
1) Download the antivirus software by clicking "Download free trial" box.
2) when it's downloaded just install
3) When installed open it and press "Live Update" then press the "Live Update" box.
4) When completed, close the antivirus software and reopen it again.
5) Press the "SCAN" box
6) Then press NORTON POWER ERASER (NPE)
7) Install it if it is required
8)run norton power eraser
9) Press the "SCAN FOR RISKS" BOX
10) wait untill scan is finished.
11) Then (the program might requires for a restart ) if not just press "FIX NOW" and then restart your computer.If it needs restarting before that , you should restart your computer and wait until the NORTON POWER ERASER pop-up
.Then press "fix now " and restart your computer. [ konpik's advice column | Ask konpik A Question ]
