I Have had problems with my computer since detecting the virus antivirus pro 2010 . I have managed to delete that . I am now having several problems with
1. google redirects to other search engines
2 .Have installed spybot s&d and trying to run it have the error,windows cannot acces the specific device,path,or file. you may not have the appropriate permission to acces the item.
3. Have tried downloading hijackthis which also refuses to run
4. avg 8.5 will not perform a system scan but shows that everything is working. (i have tried uninstalling it and re install with no luck)
5. reg cure and spyware doctor work and scan the system find infections and cure them but they keep re-apearing on the next scan.
I think i have included everything,my operating system is win xp
I hope you can help many thanks Arfon
