BIG spyware/virus problem....AGAIN!

[Geordie Boyo 23]

I recently downloaded something and now I keep getting warning 'system alert's' flashing up. The little security shield icon keeps flashing on my status bar from a white cross/red background to a question mark/blue background, basically telling me my PC's being infected by different viruses and I need to update using 'virus protect pro'?

 

I've got Norton Antivirus 2007, spybot search and destroy and now have spyblaster & spy sweeper downloaded, yet I still have the same problems with the security icon/warnings, etc.

 

I've ran out of ideas and don't know what to do?

Save this file > http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.exe to your desktop then restart the PC in safe mode.

 

Go to desktop and run the application.

select option 2 - "Clean".

Once its finished, restart and you should be clean.

Get rid of norton

 

switch to avg

 

use firefox

 

use a firewall (either hardware or software based).

Norton is shit, get rid ASAP.

 

AVG is canny good, Avast is also worth a look.

 

And as Laz said, get a firewall. Zonealarm do pretty decent free one.

Cheers dudes!

 

It's sorted now and I'm switching to AVG and downloading zone alarm. no more downloading

My advice to you is that hotyoungvirgin.exe is not a porn video so stop downloading it!
