Don't ask me!!!!! All I know is how to turn the computer on!! Where is Sarah when we NEED her!!! ↑ |
I guess!! I wish I know how to help ya hon! ↑ |
I cant beleive it.It is awful,they are called trojan horse flooders.I have never heard of them. ↑ |
mine ran out also..but it's been a while...and my hubby is a little mad cause he checked it last night and we had like 20 viruses...he checked where they came from...and he was a little p.o.ed about it...oh well, i guess we're getting that norton's virus thingy. ↑ |
I use the avg but i dont know how to reinstall it. ↑ |
i don't know nothing about a computer..only how to get here..somewhat use the internet, and type...lol...sorry ↑ |
Rhonda are you using the free version of AVG?
I am using the free version of AVG and it scans everyday and upgrades itself. ↑ |
Yes i use the free version,but somehow i got a free trial version and it expired on me,so i lost my protection. ↑ |

Use
this link and download again it again the top one is the free one. The new one should automatically detec the old one and override it! This is the one I have used for a while and it still works. ↑ |
I noticed there were links for free trials and "the free version" that link I gave you is the free version! I hope it helps! :-) ↑ |
Thank you hun,let me go see if i can get it going. ↑ |
Hello.....does your program that found them have a button to quarentine them? If so click it ↑ |
sorry i acn't stick around...bye ↑ |
Tylersmom,that link just takes me to a page that says questions and answers. ↑ |
Dana it had a thing that said to heal and i clicked on that. ↑ |
do you have the yahoo toolbar? it has the norton spyware scan
you can remove it there. I had the same poblem b/4 ↑ |
Hmm it works on my computer! Try this one!

Sorry
maybe that will work! ↑ |
And yes the heal button should clear the problem up as long as the virus is in the AVG's system meaning not a new one before the trial ran out to upgrade. ↑ |
Let me try again,and heather i dont think i have yahoo toolbar. ↑ |
Ok i found the one you were telling me about,im trying to download it.And the viruses are still on my pc. ↑ |
Ok let it download and it will run a check and should clear it up! Hopefully! ↑ |
iwas gonna say iv got AVG but i usually call the computer nerd guy if i get a virus as once we had a worm and it was awful! ↑ |
Did you have Norton? I swear they do that on purpose so you go, OH i better buy their program again!!! We got so fed up with Norton and it's rediculously expensive, so we bought this other one, it's like 60 dollars and then a 55 dollar rebate, if you send in your old anti-virus program. so it was only 5 dollars. lol....Nortons a scam!!!! ↑ |
norton wrecked my internet connection...it doesnt run well with AOL lol ↑ |
i have the free norton that came with yahoo toolbar and i like it
but i did download the avg b/c i heard that they are the best ↑ |
yeah....normally if you get a virus you can go to Norton's website, look it up and it gives you step by step instructions on how to get rid of it. Well ours was about to expire in like 3 days, and all of a sudden we got this virus that attacked Norton itself and Norton wouldn't work AT ALL....something like that....lol...hubby knows more than I do....anyways....the instructions weren't on the norton site, cause they said they hadn't figured it out yet...but we could pay like 60 dollars and they'd help us figure it out over the phone...so we did...and about a couple hours after that, the instruction were on their site and they wouldn't give us a refund!! assholes.....lol ↑ |
not to mention their phone number wasn't 1-800....so it was long distance for us and they were on the phone for like 4 hours!!! ↑ |
I dont have norton i have avg.Tylersmom i ran it and now it says to build it?Free edition build is that what i do? ↑ |
I cant get the free edition of avg to run,it says an error occured and i tried it twice. ↑ |
Then it says select setup type.
add or remove components
repair installation
or
uninstall product.
So which one do i choose? ↑ |
