Question Posted Thursday February 25 2010, 7:52 pm
Okay, So I had that Trojan or whatever of the 2010 Windows Scan, shut my whole computer down. I got that fixed and I use Windows XP, Windows Defender and SuperAntiSpyware. Well, now that I got rid of that big virus my computers still acting weird. Now everytime I go to look something up in Google, I'll click on the link and it will send me to a WHOLE different web address and I'll have to re look it up and re click the link sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries. Why is this doing it? And it there anyway to get rid of it? I have run both of my spyware programs. The windows defender is set to automatically check but since I have the free version of SuperAntiSpyware it isn't possible.
Thank you. =]
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 ]

I used MalwareBytes to kill the 2010 thing, but even after that, viruses kept pouring in. I got a free trial of Kaspersky, and it kept detecting virus after virus.
