Why make a good product when you already have such great brand recognition?!

[Peewee]

A good program for removing viruses/spyware/malware/rootkits/etc. is linked in my sig. At work in a CIT department, it gets rid of all the viruses on ~95% of the infected computers we see. For the other 5%, we run a few other scanning/removal programs, including Spybot Search & Destroy and HijackThis (careful with that one).

You'll still want some form of run-in-the-background anti-virus software, because MBAM just looks for malware and removes it, it doesn't stop it from getting there in the first place.

because some spywares are tailored to interfere with the most common virusscanners.
That is why it is advisable to use several even if they may interfere with one another.
Also not all varieties of malware are detected by each product.

Search&destroy ,  AGV antivir , NOD32 antivir, ccleaner is a handy tool too when infected
trend micro has a nice online scanner (panda?).

i have a nice online scanner? panda? i dont understand.

ill try your link PeeWee

[Micro102]

nope, nothing detected by it......i think the websites are just getting taken over by the wrong people.

[inaluct]

Okay, then, what websites?

[Micro102]

a couple of anime sites, i think addictinggames.com.....ill have to write them down next time i see them

[inaluct]

I just checked addictinggames. It's fine.

 I think Gaia had this problem before when dealing with popups.

 Some advertisement banners come in packages, the specific sites they advertise and what the banner is like is somewhat hidden from the person adding the banner to their website. Thus a lot of times a banner with crap on it like a flash popup or an autoredirect thing come up and effect one user in many. Sometimes you would have to refresh a page a hundred times to get the same banner again, because the package cycles.

 Still, sounds more like a spyware thing.

[inaluct]

Do, you have Firefox, Micro?

[Peewee]

nope, nothing detected by it......i think the websites are just getting taken over by the wrong people.

There's no way you ran a full scan in fifteen minutes. >.>
On my relatively fast machine here at home, it takes around an hour.

[Micro102]

ahhhh, i did a quick scan, thank you i almost left it at that.

will it still scan if i close my laptop and it goes into sleep mode?

I don't know for sure if it will scan in sleep mode, but I would bet not.

[IndonesiaWarMinister]

I don't know for sure if it will scan in sleep mode, but I would bet not.

It would not.

Well, Avast! is, generally better. (also free, to boot )
However, for this kind of problem, we recommend MalwareBytes, or Spybot S&D, since this is will be eiither a backdoor trojan, or a malware/adware...

[Yanlin]

I don't know for sure if it will scan in sleep mode, but I would bet not.

"Do your downloads keep downloading when you turn off your computer?"

Yeah. Sorry. Sleep mode is a bit obscure.
