Virus protection for your computer.

[Happyolddog]

I have been having a lot of trouble with my computer for the past few weeks, since my two sons were home for Christmas and infected it with a whole load of viruses. I had some help from the gentleman PKea and I was still encountering problems, I then got a PM from Nicklow. He gave me a link to a site which offers protection against any invasive software for your computer. I downloaded it and ran the scan, well I ran it a few times and it kept finding the viruses but wasn't able to remove them. I then contacted the sites help and advice. They took remote control of my computer and distroyed all of the problems. It was very odd sitting here watching the cursor wizzing around the computer and making everything right. I would not have been able to do this myself. I recommend that if you are having problems with viruses on your computer you install AdwareAlert and let them sort it out for you. It cost less than £20 and the time the techguy spent fixing things was worth twice that and the payment is for a whole year.

Thanks again PKea and Nicklow.

Best wishes,

I remember giving Ashley remote access to my PC when I had problems with it and I agree, it is very, very strange watching someone else clicking away on it.

Re: Virus protection for your computer.

you can download Zone alarm for firewall protection, AVG for virus protection, Registry Smart to clean up your registry and other problems and finally SpyBot search and destroy for all your malicious software needs.

......and best of all they work, work very well and are FREE..... YES FREE



I would recommend all the above exept Zone Alarm if using Vista, as far as I'm aware it's still not compatible with vista.... come on zone labs pull your finger out.
Also from Zone Labs you can download adware removal and many other software title for FREE. (again, not sure if they are compatible for vista)

Just thought I would pass this on :okay:

I'm fine (ish) babes thanks.............. Yes we did but I just couldn't get it to run right on mine, so i stuck with windows defender (where's that big hammer smiley) why can't we just go back to smoke signals and paper cups?????

Plus I had compatibility issues between zone alarm and AVG. I may try it again very soon, although I've not had any problems that I'm aware of, so if it aint broke.............why try and fix it.
Apart from Vista being bloody Vista

Re: Virus protection for your computer.

A lot of peeps seem to have problems with vista but 'touch wood' our's is excellent and have never had a problem yet We also have AVG, Zone Alarm and Adaware and have never experienced any issue with any of them either.

But my techie friend tells me recently that there are a few upgrades comming out at the mo for vista and advised 'not to touch umm' just yet as they are in the 'beta stage' or sumat like that too over the head for me hun

Anyway, hope the fine (ish) get's better (ish) babe.
