Inkredible: You having some worms in ur pc...In this case, simply download microsoft security essential from Micrsoft website, It's just 10MB or so, one time, everything will be removed when scanned wih it.. |

tempest01: Avast is not an antivirus...ESET SMART SECURITY still better than Avast |

okonja: Different strokes for different folks. I have not tried eset before on any system, but as far as free anti-virus goes, I think avast is one of the best. Ratings and number of downloads can testify. Check [url]filehippo.com[/url] |

Someone mentioned Microsoft security essential, I remember when I had same problem, I did research till I found that it, I downloaded it but it seems my infection was too much that the virus was in my core. It turned off all my anti-virus softwares and refused installing new ones. Had to do a complete system format to out of the box |
