MACarter02 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 While I don't know what it is that is causing the problem (probably a virus), this was quite funny to read. So thank you for making a rough day a bit better. I sincerely hope you get the problem fixed... may be a windows reinstall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest erico Report post Posted October 3, 2007 try a more robust antivirus program. If you are using the freebie version...unfortunately it has it's limits. ESET or Norton are pretty highly recommended. I have friends who have run into the same kind of problem. I reinstalled windows for them. They didn't want to buy the antivirus program commercial version. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuTcH Report post Posted October 3, 2007 I had AVG AV Pro went down to free edition which has never let me down til Now following reviews on antivirus programs I found BitDefender which seems to be being awarded everywhere. Being as miserly as i am ran there free online test low and behold 5 trojan-flood viruses. happy days :tooth: my last 2 question (honest!) has anyone got BitDefender AntiVirus? And is it any good? oh that free online Virus Scanner http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shatteredsteel Report post Posted October 4, 2007 Yeah, I use bitdefender, and besides the INSANE amount of time it takes to scan a large HDD its a great program... Its found everything I've thrown at it, (*I use it at our school for computer repairs as well*) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest erico Report post Posted October 4, 2007 Choice of AntiVirus program will depend on both your level of computer knowledge and whether or not you are willing to part with $$$.. If you really know what you are doing with your system try ESET. I have used it for two years now and not a single virus / trojan or malware has infected my system. I was a devotee of Norton previously. Norton is more of a mainstream program and it's GUI is quite intuitive. Ya get what ya pay for or don't pay for. cheers:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
