Hello all,

I live in the UK and I actually work in computers. I have to admit however that my problem on my own computer is being a right pain.
I'm currently at work at the moment hoping to get back on my home Pc and investigate further. I will be leaving at 5pm pretty sharp.
So you might here me moaning later on

This site is the reason I got rid of the viruses which plagued my PC a week back. I could tell you was swamped with requests for help. I read up on a lot of useful information here. After removing the viruses I've now paid for Kaspersky and Malwarebytes.

Hi Morratut,
Glad you are free of Malware now, but why did you pay for Malwarebytes Antspyware as it is free on this link included.
Kaspersky online scan is free, but I realise you need to buy the software to clear and protect your computer continually.
I was just so glad that the combination of Kaspersky and Malwarebytes worked I was willing to pay for the software. Malwarebytes is now up and running constantly alongside Kaspersky just in case
I can't believe how much of a irritation is was when I had the viruses. I don't want to have to go through that again.
I've even started using Firefox now instead of IE 7. People recommend it for being slightly more secure.
