Go to google and type in AVG. Its free anti virus software and its brillinat! it will find the viruses and repair them and if it cant repair them it will keep them away from the important parts of your computers system… it will do updates and virus checks regularly and its really very good :)

Plus if it detects a virus while you are online it will tell u straight away and shut down what the virus is doing…

get google updater as well, it has Norton there.
PC Tools Spyware Doctor is good as well.
Yes most of the stuff that is running to help your computer is the problem. I would get AVG Antivirus Download it is free search for it in yahoo or google. It is awesome compared to all the rest that I have used.
I am sure that this will work it out. That way you wont have to be frustrated with it. and maybe your dad want be mad as often.
thanks guys! i will go cheack that out right now!
Let us know how it turns out, or if it finds anything.
and its absolutly FREE right? cuz i read something about a “30 day trial” an di hope that after 30 days i wont be billed or anything. cuz if i ever have to pay for this ever, daddy will destroy me. i know you already said that it was free but i’m a very cousus person and need a lot of insuring.
They can’t charge you for it if you don’t give them anything to charge it on. Don’t worry about it.
what do you mean? what could i do to make them charge me? is it even possible for them to charge me for anything?
its about 30% done now. man! daddy will be sooo pissed if he finds out! o well! like i care.
they can’t charge you, because they have no way too.
you never gave them a credit card number, so they can’t bill you.
And they didn’t ask for one because it is 110% free.
oh… ok! its over 50% done now. i feel alittle better. i don’t know why i’m so leery.
It’s normal. Don’t worry about you will be all over that computer before you know it. You will be showing other people how to do things even your dad. ha ha
lol. i don’t know about that. hes spcialised in computer stuff. but its better that he dosen’t know about it, just to keep the termoil to a minimum. its done!!!
****! it says i have to uninstall the program that we already have before installing another one! pluse my side of the computer dosn’t have “sugnifigant permisstions” stupid parents trying to limit me! i can’t wait till i can get my own computer so i don’t have to use crappy programs like they do. i mean, they have second hand everthing! cell phone serveses, internet provider, everything!! well, thanks for trying to help everyone but, daddy will deffenetly notice if his stupid viris program is gone and a new one is there. plus its my parent’s computer, not mine so… yeah. thanks anyway!! *crys*
the stupid program thing they have dosn’t even work! raget, fraget.. mumble muble… lol.
If your PC seems like its slowing down or having a hard time surfing the web or just doesn’t seem right.
You should go to http://download.com and get these programs. AD-Aware, Spybot search and destroy, CCleaner and and if you dont have an Antivirus program you can use Avast or AVG, and for your firewall a good program is Zone Alarm. Install these programs and run them regulary. This will keep your system clean and running properly. These programs are free and Download.com is a part of CNET (the site that your posting on right now). Hope this helps :-)
did anyone read what i just said? i have to uninstall the program that we already have before installing another one. and i think my daddy will notice if his stupid protection program that dosen’t work is gone.
Show your dad the information and see if he wants to install the programs it simple. Hope this helps :-)

i think my daddy has spybot. and i canciled the download. and macafee worked grate at first, but now it just dosn’t work anymore. and when ever i log into the computer, a window pops up that says “protection control thingy failed to start” or something like that so what ever it is dose not work!
one more question, well, two more. in order for these programs to work, dose the user have to tell it to run or dose it do that by itself?
and: could the websites i visit have anything to do with all the spyware and crap that daddy finds every time he runs a viril scan? or is that just to be expected if your going to serf the web? and if so, why is it only when I go on the computer that all this happens?
For the spyware removers you have to run them, its easy and I use them all of the time. I would remove Macafee unless you have just paid for it again and install AVG or Avast. I use Avast and it works great. Another thing is if the protection control is not starting your firewall is not working either. And for your last question, yes every time you go on the web there are trackers and other things that get loaded onto your pc just by surfing. It would be nice if they were not there but that is why they make these programs. If you run your cleaners once a week your system will stay clean. Hope this helps :-)
it may be all that software that you can probably do without. as mentioned by others above, you can try something else too instead of mcafee, like Avast or AVG but you probably don’t understand it that much - don’t worry about it. Try this one first, restart your computer, then before opening anything else, just open up 1 browser window and wait and see if you get pop-ups. Also, since it’s your parent’s pc, do you have have administrator priviledges?
I do not have administrator priviledges on my side of the computer but i can easily go on moms side since she never uses it. they both use daddys side. and, macafee cost money? why pay money if you can, like what was said eariler, get protection for free? we already have enough expeces with the horses and my braces! lol. anyway, if removed or added any programs daddy would go BAZERK!!!! but i guess i can try showing him this post and hopefull he’ll stop putting all the blame on me. please pray because he has always been a paranoyed douter. he douts stuff he knows nothing about! he even keep two efing gates to keep the horses in. and one of them isn’t even a gate, its a fence panle!! and its a big pain! and its unessassary!! uhg!! i’m getting way off the topic. sorry, anyway, thank you for all your help! i grately appresheeate it! (i can’t spell)

I have computer problems
I shar a computer with my mom and daddy. Its a Gateway computer and ZyXEL is what it says on the internet box we have. our other thingy is earthlink. idk, i’m just trying to give some info. anyway, so every time i go on the comuter spyware and other bad things get into the computer and i don’t know why. these are the only websites i go to:
Help.com (duh)
Myspace (and myspace IM)
Yahoo!
Pimp-My-Profile
Brain Bashers
Narutome
Youtube
Google
Blogger
Projectplaylist
Photobucket
and thats about it for my usuals. the Macafee site advisor thing dosen’t work any more. The Protection Control Center thing never works. and every time i go to Pimp-My-Profile a thing pops up at the top of the screen and says “web page could be a scam proceed with coution” (sorry i can’t spell) i usealy only listen to it if its red. and it makes grate myspace layouts! and my friends go there and have no problem. could that be it? i’ve decided to try not going there for a while and see what happens. my daddy gets madder and madder every time he runs a viril scan. and sometimes, the screen freezes and i have to turn it off without shutting it down. and then if i try to get abck on again the screen where it says all the user accounts is frozen and daddy has to fix it. i’m 16 and i really want to beable to go on the computer without haveing to deal with all that crap. so if anyone out there would help, that would awesome! thanks!

hey here’s something you can probably tell your dad. if you really need help you can try looking for any crossloop user who might be able to help you. crossloop.com has a software that lets u share your computer access just for the other person to figure out whats wrong and help you with your pc. but you have to be careful with who you give access to because they would really see whats on your screen (but you need internet connection of course) and the other party can pretty much access your computer and install and uninstall stuff but you’d have tp reconnect if you turn off the pc of course.
i hope i could recommend some crossloop users but maybe you can check out their website and you might find qualified individuals willing to help for free.

well as long as the browser works and the internet connection is still okay, i’m sure there’s a way to fix the problem. it’s just a matter of figuring out what it really is or what’s causing it so there can be a fix. :)

Hey Sasuke Chibi,
It’s a leap of faith… If you get infected you just clean it up and start over. It is estimated that 500 to 1000 new strains appear each day. Thank god they don’t appear all at the same time and place. Don’t forget to update your virus data base daily.
Good luck Ron
thanks ron, now i just have to canvince my daddy!
