My computer is infected with spyware, adware popups&Trojan what can i do,What is the best anti virus software?

You need Antivirus software and spyware scanning software. There are 2 free spyware scanners that I have used: Ad-Aware and Spybot. Both do a decent job but I have had better luck with Ad-Aware. If you run both of those and you still have some pop-ups or some kind of spyware hanging around, you can download a 60-day trial of Prevx1. It is great and fully functional for the 60 days. For a virus scanner, I would download the free version of AVG. It does a fine job. I think AVG also makes a spyware scanner, but I have never used it personally.

Several things, two of which are free. Norton Antivirus OR McAfee Antivirus will help prevent viruses and most other problems. Next, download and run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (free) from the following site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=ad724ae0-e72d-4f54-9ab3-75b8eb148356 This program will look for Malicious Software and delete it. Now, download and run Windows Defender (also free) from the following site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=435BFCE7-DA2B-4A6A-AFA4-F7F14E605A0D&displaylang=en You should run this program weekly and make sure you run a FULL SCAN by clicking the triangle to the right of the word "SCAN" and on the drop down menu selecting "FULL SCAN." This program will detect and help you remove files, programs, etc. that may be malware.

Install Grisoft's AVG Antivirus and AVG Antispyware (both free) and run those. Then download a program called "hijack this" and run it. Find a forum where you can post the highjack this log and people will respond telling you what you need to do to get rid of specific threats that the scanners didn't pick up.

I have been selling (and more importantly studying and testing) internet security products for over 15 years. Buying ANY antivirus program alone is like taking a fly-swather to a wasps nest. You need 4 main methods of protection. 1. Rookits Detection 2. Spyware Detection 3. Virus Detection 4. IP Address and Keylogging protection. Rootkits are the MOST stealth method currently for carrying and hiding the very worst of spyware software into your system and burrying it where even the Nortons and Mcafes cant find them. 1. F-Secure offers Blacklight Rootkit detector for FREE on their website, which is the worlds BEST at this single task. -------- Once you have your rootkit detection software installed you need to buy an "internet security suite" to take care of everything else. You want free? Try Zone Alarm (free version of firewall), Adaware (free spyware software), Avast (free antivirus software), this is a great free combo. So far you've spent $0 for a heck of a good suite of software. If you want to pay for the BEST Suite, I would purchase Zone Alarm Suite. Zone Alarm Suite is PC Magazine's choice as well as my choice for the very best in internet security for your PC. And its the easiest to use, in my opinion. Just remember to download the free Blacklight software for the best set of security tools available on the PC today. Norton is huge and inneffective. Mcafee misses too much. And F-Secure is good, but would "under-perform" the free combo, so I cant honestly recommend it. Either way, BEST OF LUCK!

Be careful when you're donwloading an Antivirus program; the latest is SmitFraud, and is a really dangerous shareware program that looks like it's supposed to protect your computer. You can found out more about it here: http://www.411-spyware.com/remove-smitfraud There's a ton of info on other parasites and programs there too. Good luck!

My choice is XoftSpy SE,I have using it for 1 year and it works very well.You can find the XoftSpy SE and other top 5 anti-spywares reviews and comparisons on http://www.spyware-detectors.net All download and scan for free.

Advanced windows care ,, try it I'm pretty sure it's gonna work , u cam download the free ver. from there web , or u can buy the pro. it's better of course but the free one gonna work great for ur problem

norton or kapaseky or macfee webroot i personally think is the best any spyware tool

These two programs are the best at removing Spyware, Trojans and Adware. The procedure is important to clean all parts of the infections for all areas of your computer. You can use the programs and not the procedure if you choose. Today, a Trojan is usually installed and it then downloads spyware, adware and viruses to your computer. This is why you should use more than one program to scan and clean your computer. Download and Update Ewido (now called the AVG Antispyware). Do not run: http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ Download AdAware SE and update. Do the setup. Do not run: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ad-aware/ AdAware SE Setup: 1. Select "use custom scanning options" then select "customize". Make sure the following options are enabled: "scan within archives," "scan active processes," "scan registry," "deep scan registry," "scan my IE favorites for banned URLs," "scan my Hosts file." 2. Select the "tweak" option. Under "scanning engine," make sure "unload recognized processes and modules during scan" is enabled. Enable "scan registry for all users instead of current users." 3. Under "cleaning engine" turn on "always try to unload modules…," "during removal unload explorer and IE if necessary," "let windows remove files in use at next restart," and "delete quarantined items after restoring." 4. Use the "select drives and folders to scan" option to ensure that your entire hard drive is scanned (if you have more than one hard drive, scan all of them (of course, do not include floppy and CD/DVD).

On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click "Show hidden files and folders", and clear(uncheck) the "Hide protected operating system files" check box. IMPORTANT: Files are hidden by Windows for a very good reason. It is not wise to experiment with these files. Unfortunately, to successfully remove modern spyware we must turn this protection off temporarily. Please turn the protection back on when you have finished cleaning your system. EMPTY INTERNET EXPLORER BROWSER CACHE: 1. On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options. 2. On the General tab, in the Temporary Internet Files section, click the Delete Files button.

RESTART IN SAFE MODE: To do this you need to hold down or repeatedly tap the F8 key while the computer is booting (when the computer is displaying a black screen with white text). When the boot menu appears, use your keyboard arrows to select "Safe Mode." Safe Mode can look quite ugly. The color may look bad, and all of your desktop icons will be very large. This is normal. START THE SCAN WITH YOUR PROGRAM(S). Run both programs consecutivly. When the scan and removal are completed REBOOT COMPUTER. This will restart you in normal mode. RESET HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS. The RESTORE POINTS may be infected with the Malware and cannot be used. Delete the old one(s) and make a new one. CLEAR OLD RESTORE POINT(S). HERE'S HOW: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. Click Performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click on the System Restore tab. 3. Select the Turn Off System Restore check box, click Apply, then restart your computer. 4. Return to the System Restore Tab and turn System Restore back on. TO SET A NEW RESTORE POINT: 1. Click the Start button. 2. Point to Programs, then navigate to Accessories, then System Tools, then click System Restore. 3. Choose Create a restore point, and then click Next. 4. In the Restore point description box, type a name for your restore point, and then click Next. 5. Click OK. NOTE: If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and are unable to access the Internet after removing Malware, there is a command that may fix the problem. It works by resetting the winsock catalogue. Click on Start, then Run and type CMD in the box. Click OK. Type "netsh winsock reset" (no quotes)into the DOS window that appears. ADDITION INFORMATION ABOUT TROJANS: There are Trojans that fall into the Smitfraud family. These require the use of a specialized program for removal. Here are two sites that specialize in removing these: http://www.internetinspiration.co.uk/roguefix.htm http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix_En.php
