Computer Help Required...Possible Virus
A few months ago I had a problem on my PC, I posted on here and some very kind people pointed me in the direction of a website where I was able to 'clean' my system.
Well I think it's back, my Norton Antivirus keeps popping up and e-mails are being automatically sent from my BT account, at one point I had 28 e-mails outgoing, none of which I wrote. And now my PC has really slowed up when online.
Somebody please help. As I cannot refer to my previous post as it was lost.
Thanks in advance.

I kept my Expired Norton for ages and had no end of problems.
Few months ago I decided to cough up the £16 i think it was to renew Norton, and it's been spot on ever since, always updating and picks up everything!
Best money I spent in a long time.

Norton is definitely the one to use as it`s the only one that seems to get the real awkward little buggers that don`t do a great deal of damage but just slow everything up,and if you are on broadband it automatically updates real quick,so well worth the subscription.
Also worth getting is adaware(version 6 i think),it is freeware and finds and removes all of the spyware that invisibly infects your pc(i ran a diagnostic on a mates pc recently and he was infected with 1700+ spyware programs !!!!!!!)
If you want any more info give me a shout on pm or e-mail m8.
Cheers.........Rob
