do free game websites give you a virus?
Answer:
Some. You might have the sasser blaster worm. Download, install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete anything they find, if this fails to completely remove the virus/spyware download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use. Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/download… Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht… To protect your PC in the future you’ll need to install anti-virus software and a firewall, id recommend using Avast and Comodo Pro firewall both are very effective and completely free, you should also switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE as its much safer and a lot easier to use. (links on my profile) If you are unable to download the above software then its likely you are being redirected or blocked from downloading security software by a trojan hidden in your device manager follow the instructions below and you should be able to download Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware which will remove your virus. start > run > type: devmgmt.msc > enter > view > show hidden devices > non-plug and play drivers > in the list of drivers look for the following, right click and disable any that appear in your list: TDSSserv.sys TDSSxyz.sys where xyz are random characters Clbdriver.sys, Gaopdxserv.sys, Seneka or Seneka.sys Restart computer. Remember never download anything thats recommend by a pop-up.

I didn’t install an antivirus on my comp. and now it’s infected. I’ve tried so many a-virus but they dont work?
All the anti-viruses ive tried have been installed, but when they get to the update section (which you need an internet connection, which i have, the virus blocks it. So the update scan, the virus eliminator, and all forms of virus removal don’t work. And it’s the same thing with all anti-virus programs. So now the virus is in control, it takes ages just to get on the internet, it blocks all my games, and nothing works properly. Help???

I’m looking for a very good AntiVirus and Firewall (free) that wont lag up my system when I play video games.?
Any Ideas?
Answer:
Avast Home Edition + Comodo Pro: Avast home edition is free and effective, it protects your PC from infected webpages, scans your downloads and emails for viruses (AVG free does neither) and has built in anti-rootkit and anti-spyware, plus it gives you the option to run a boot scan, there are very few anti-virus’s that can do this paid or otherwise and this is free. Avast works for 60 days from installation after which you will need to register to get your free product key this is valid for a year after which you just register for another free key, so it always free. I use Avast along side Comodo firewall both are free, light on memory and have been independently tested and proven to be more effective then big names like Mcafee. Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Comodo: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ People often recommend AVG but Avast is far better: On AVGs official website it states that their free anti-virus software does not protect you from “poison” webpages or scan downloads and emails for viruses (Avast free edition does all 3), I’ve also tested both AVG and Avast using the EICAR test viruses, AVG allowed all the viruses onto the computer without a single warning Avast either blocked them instantly or shorty after preventing all from running, Avast is much lighter and offers far superior protection.
