3 programs.
Ad-Aware Se Personal Edition 1.06 -Spyware AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition -Virus ZoneAlarm 6.5.722 -Firewall They are all free and do the trick. Not bad on your system resources either. Also run through those startup items like FeelGood said. Will help speed it up a bit and maybe remove some bad shit. |

i downloaded spybot search and destroy". it got rid of the pop ups and now when i open internet explorer it goes to my homepage and not some fucking "buy our antivirus software" homepeage, but there is still some flashing thing at the bottom of my screen saying "critical system error".
to make matters worse, i got to return this laptop to my dad in less than an hour, virus free. |
