Re: Computer is getting fixed... need some suggestions
Just get an Antivirus program and your set. If you don't want to pay for an AV program, then to to www.grisoft.com and download AVG Free edition. It's a basic av program that will get the job done.

Re: Computer is getting fixed... need some suggestions
I had Norton Antivirus on my computer... But that didn't seem to work.

Re: Computer is getting fixed... need some suggestions
a lot of it is just common sense, for example, don't download anthing from GAIN or GATOR, and never accept any sponsorers...

Re: Computer is getting fixed... need some suggestions
Even surfing certain pages can execute viruses on your pc. Your best bet is Norton Internet Security.

Re: Computer is getting fixed... need some suggestions
Norton sucks. Worked for 3 months(never found a virus), and now it wants me to pay 20 bucks for a year of virus updates. Screw you norton. Be sure to download Ad-aware. Best damn free program ever. You can find it at www.lavasoftusa.com
As for computer fixing places, I hate them. They screwed up our old one. The internet wasnt working, we had a tech guy from ATandT come, he was on it for like 2 hours, couldnt figure it out, so we took it to some place, and it came back smelling like smoke, and I swear the graphics card was never quite the same. Thats why when I start having big problems with my new one im gonna figure them out myself.

Adaware is good!
Maybe that's because you didn't have any viruses 
Norton is great, I'm using it and it has detected viruses and malicious scripts many times.

Did you have the most recent updates/definitions for Norton? If so, what really happened to your computer? Or what happened to it that it had to go to the shop? I need an understanding of the situation
