How can I get rid of the Outerinfo Trojan when no spyware or antivirus scans will install (please read full)? I have the outerinfo trojan and have downloaded multiple spyware and antivirus programs (norton 2007 trial, superantispyware, avg, adaware), but whenever I click on the downloaded installation program I'll get an error message saying something like "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory was requested<' or some other random ones that won't let me install them.

Can I run more than one antivirus/spyware program on my computer? I know somebody out there has tried this...did it work for you? Obviously I'm talking about having each one manually run and then would be 'off' the rest of the time, when the other(s) would be used to also scan.

It's almost worthless to run the program. It will let you empty the vault, but then where does everything go that's in there? Back to potentially infect your system? Anyone honestly know how this program works without just guessing?

What is the most decent Antivirus/Spyware/Adware oriented software/program that will rival Norton/Trend Micro? I was recently swarmed with a severe malware oriented virus that no matter how many spyware/antivirus oriented programs/software I bought like Norton Antivirus (which I was told for 80 bucks is crap) but I guess I went with the old adage I get what I pay for and then I bought Trend Micro (was also told by the best buy sales associate that it rivals NAV) but it still didn't help. So I pretty much stripped the 5 year old HP Pavilion desktop that I had back to factory settings, knock on wood the icons are ridiculously HUGE but its been 3days and I haven't had a whiff of pop up/spyware crap come my way (yet), though my Windows XP was restored to factory settings. So what can I install on this system so I don't end up with another Vundo/malware oriented Trojan. I don't want to install my NAV Antisecuirty software pacakage b/c I was told it was crap & now I can't seem to trust the generic TrendMicro, so now what do I install so this computer combats any/all update troublesome viruses Thnx
