Antivirus??

Mig-El · 08-11-2009, 06:12 PM

Hey there

I come to bother again, now the thing is I got my bandwidth internet or whatever it's called, I got my usb that gives me internet anywhere in my lap. It's not the bet thing, it's supposed to work at a decent speed til I use it too much and download too many stuff, then I wait until the end of the month and speed again.

THE IMPORTANT THING, my internet has been way too slow the past week, it takes like 30 min to load a 4 min youtube vid!! It's been a turtle lately. That' not normal, I've had it for 3 months now and it should not be like that since I just paid the month service recently.

I goy Symantec (from school) and it got some viruses in quarintine and I don't know how to access to them to delete them. I just downloaded Avast which my friend recommended and it erased 2 viruses from my computer yesterday. Then it worked decently, but today it's back to the turtle speed again.

Should I get another antivirus or what do I do??? I've read about some adware or antispyware or whatever what do you think??

Sounds like the 2 viruses Avast got rid off are hiding deep inside your computer.

Get rid of Norton and install AVG free, get Spybot S&D & CC Cleaner. Run those 3 to get rid of anything it might find.

Are both of the antiviruses' real-time shield enabled at the same time? If they are, they might be in conflict with each other. Uninstall one (I suggest the Symantec) and run Avast again.

You could try also malwarebytes anti-malware.

Download this:

Unconnect from the internet, to uninstall your current anti-virus, install microsoft's pretty good anti-virus software, connect upto the net to update it disconnect from the net. Restart the computer into safe mode (hit F8 when it's booting up) and run the anti-virus and hopefully it will find the bugger.
