The bar at the bottom sometimes disappear and reappear. I have done a saf scan with Microsoft but at the end the problem remains. Right after the problem appeared, a program offeing to fix it pops up, it's called WinIFixer and recommends me to get it.

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
Will an AntiVirus get rid of spyware/adware infection? On my desktop background is says, "Your computer is in Danger! Windows Security Center has detected spyware/adware infection!

Antivirus, Spyware, etc Help!!!!? Hi there. I’ve recently purchased an Hp laptop. That meant I had to buy Anti-Virus and Anti-spyware and all that stuff that protects my laptop. The people at Bestbuy recommended TrenMicro Antivirus 2008 and Webroot Spy Sweeper. I didn’t take them out of the boxes and I still have the receipt so I can still return them. I need info on where I can get Anti-Virus, Spyware, Adware and all those stuff that will protect my computer for free. I’ve tried downloading some antivirus stuff from the internet. But it usually gave me trials and I don’t want that stuff. I want stuff that I just have to download once, install, and never have to worry about my laptops security. I also don’t want stuff that slows down my laptop. That is why I didn’t install trend micro yet because it said 1gb memory is needed. Also tell me the stuff you use. Thanks a lot.

Good internet security suite or antivirus? I'm not going to ask for the "best" because I'm sure everyone has their own opinions on what they use or what not. I bought Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 7.x a while ago, and then it told me my key was on the blacklisted (I didn't even know what it meant for a while and it kept coming up). I asked for my money back and never got a response. I wasn't surprised. However I was unhappy since it was a very good suite to use. And now since I don't have it, I'm not sure what to get. What I wanted to know is what people recommend. But here's the thing.. my computer only has 512MB ram as of now and Zonealarm's Internet Security Suite tends to be very bloated and slow on my computer. I prefer a good antivirus/firewall/spyware/adware removal program that uses very low RAM like Kaspersky does and works well. Does anyone have any recommendations? :)

Best anti-virus and adware/spyware software combo for this laptop? Can someone please!!! tell me once and for all the absolute best combination of free software I can use on my grandmother's laptop? Let me explain first. I've already visited what feels like thousands of pages for advice and none seem to agree on any one combo. Part of the problem is that her laptop is a presario v6000 with only 478 mb of aval. ram. So brand new with all unecessary stuff disabled, it's still running at 64% physical memory. I just need a decent free antivirus and a spyware program that don't use much memory and are free as she doesn't have a dime left right now to afford anything else. That includes upgrading the ram right now. The vista program is the vista basic 32 bit os. Any help would be appreciated right now as I am going out of my mind with this and just want to get her set up so she can enjoy the internet.

adware, spyware? SUPERantispyware, ccleaner, housecall, AVG antivirus work very well. and after using them system becomes 99% secure but can any one give any adware detecter tool which can even prevent it from being installed or in other words when ever any web page, software, pop ups, or page infected by it , or page containg these, try to infect the system , imediately at that time , tool removes it and notify me, that such adware found and removed. means while surffing , it automatically detect and remove adware, spyware. and it must be Freeware too thanx...

I need help with my computer (spyware, adware, viruses)? I have around 100 viruse/adware/spyware type things on my computer. Normally, my security programs would take care of this, but now they seem to be attacking themselves instead of the software that I don't want! I tried installing Windows AntiVirus Pro 2006, but that keeps getting blocked by Symantec. When I temporarily disable Symantec, I can at least download the installer, but when I use it, it does NOTHING! What should I do?

whats the best FREE firewall antivirus/anti spyware software? after recently having to reformat my computer because norton let LOADS of spyware through, i was wondering if anyone knows a better free alternative to use? we are running xp home adition. i am still baffeled why this happened, as norton has usualy been good for me for catching viruses, but all of a sudden it let all this spyware through and there was nothing i could do. it was all up to date aswell. was free with BT, so hadnt run out or anything. but after this i do not trust it so an alternative to protect me from spyware adware viruses and a firewall would be great and i will remove my norton. please could i have your opinions please?
