yeah thats a good one, used it myself before now and it does work, just takes a while but be patient

Dangerous Malcolm..

Get yourself AVG.

Cozzie Bhoy

I'd recommend AVG too! www.grisoft.com

Red16

yeah i'd also recommend AVG for virus scanning etc

and Ad-Aware for spyware removal

BM08

lol me and thrush went for the online one because he said "online" and "on the internet" so we gave him an online scanner, if you meant Anti virus then yes get AVG, infact what id do is use that online scanner first and remove any shit it finds, then if you dont have a decent AV(you obviously dont if your pc is filled with shit) then download AVG update it and then run a full scan which will take 20-30mins

AVG http://filehippo.com/download_avg_antivirus/

While your at it download, update and run this http://filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/

Dangerous Malcolm..

Thanks guys, appreciate it

BM08

no problem, let us know what it finds, should come up with loads of stuff especially spybot if you've never used it before

Spybot search and destroy is also a good freebie.

Did you read any of the above before posting?



i didnt think so

turbo_boost

These are good my comps got rid of enough shit include loads of torgents

But knwo each time i go on a site AVG comes up with remove virus or something can i do this automatically and insists i restart my computer.

Also while im at how can i find specs of my laptop that im using i.e hard drive capacity and also memory etc etc

another recommendation for AVG

and adaware
and search and destroy

Update AVG(click on update button) and run a full scan.

About the laptop specs, right click on "my computer" then go to "properties" and then theres the specs of the processor and how much ram.

To find out how much hard drive space, double click "my computer" icon, find the hard drive icon and click once and on the left it should say how much free space you have and the capacity, for a more detailed view right click on the hard drive icon and select "properties" and there you go

Thats for windows xp by the way, if you have vista then the above will be incorrect, let me know if you have vista

AVG Is shit hot and free - be sure to disable daily scan though it's a pain in the arse

A better way though is via a bootlable dos disk

get your hands on Hirens 9.3
