But right now, I'm depending on it because it's all I have.

You guys aren't really helping... I need veggie.

MISTER AWESOME IS HERE


I don't know anything about MSE. I've heard it's excellent, though. I'd say try removing with that and double-check it with something like AVG. If the problem doesn't go away... well I dunno.

Thanks veggie  big_smile

Thank you  smile  The scan is only about a quarter done so I'll still ahve to wait but I'll go play a game or something to pass the time.

Though, a little message appeared at the bottom of the program saying it has already found something.

Norton...

I had it for a year, and when I first scanned with MalwareBytes, I found it had been ignoring many viruses.  It's terrible.  I use Security Essentials sometimes.

I used to have AVG and it worked fine.

Get AVG back.  It'll alert you if you start downloading a virus.

Re: Virus!

Use many different virus programs, and run full scans with each, one program might find one virus but the other will find another, this will ensure that's it is gone  smile  Best of Luck!

I don't know why you keep telling people to use Macs...

It's because his idol is Steve Jobs, so he loves all things Apple. I use a PC when on the forums. I used to use the Scratch Program on my Mac, but the Mac was being slow. The Mac was loading something for about half an hour with no results. Probably because the Mac is in the room furthest away from the router.  wink

My idol is Jen Ledger, but I don't shove Skillet music or religion down people's throats xD my laptop can get a connection up in my bedroom, which is at the other end of the house from the modem xD and I don't live in a small house xD

Keep going though!  :3 you could very easily have more than one Trojan.  I also had a happy virus.  One that made me sad XD

BIGGEST SCAM/VIRUS FAIL EVER:

My mam got a text from a number pretending to be o2.  It was a Meteor number.  WHAT A FAIL XD one glance and you knew it was fake, because one phone company aren't going  to send messages using their rival's number xD

Re: Virus!

Nope.  I can't.  Also, get an antivirus.  My personal suggestion would be an avast! antivirus and Malwarebytes combo.  Most viruses aren't spread through downloads or sites, but just choose random computers.  I got one (pretty bad one) while typing on Google Docs.

Yea, get AVG. I use AVG Free, Malwarebytes, and my commonsense. A trio of free things that have never failed me.  tongue

Getting a Mac isn't the best way to fix a Windows problem, people. Macs get viruses too.  tongue
