[Grozzy]

By 75 Viruses, and i will have to wait until tomorrow before i can remove them.


Two days without Norton Anti-Virus, ended bad...

:Cries even more:
:Stop Cry:

I contacted Symantec, SpyDawn detects 71 Viruses, Virus Blast detects 75, Norton detects none, :cry:

Use Kaspersky.

 

[Grozzy]

May i ask what kasperwhatever is ?

 

[Zimm]

Kaspersky is an antivirus thingy provider.

 

[Chaz3262]

dl porn makes alot of virues even the fact of dl things but thats even more with the porn. get a firewall

 

[Grozzy]

2 Things.

1. Kaspersky crashes with Norton

2. I never download pr0n

 

[BlueSin]

I think others will agree when I say that Norton is shit. If you would ever choose Norton Internet Security over Kaspersky Internet Security, then you have an issue.

Wow. I have had no antivirus for years and have yet to notice a virus. I know that some viruses lie in wait, but still...

I know that the flashy pop-ups are hard to resist, but try not to click them, ok?

 

[Grozzy]

All i did was downloading files from www.garrysmod.org without scanning.

Oh My Gosh !
I found the problem

What these programs do:

SpyDawn is a rogue anti-spyware application that is installed on your computer without your permission using Trojans and other malware. These types of programs are typically installed when a user installs what they think is an audio or video codec, but in reality is a Trojan that downloads and installs SpyDawn. When run, SpyDawn pretends to be a anti-spyware application but instead provides exaggerated or fake results of Spyware found on your computer. In order to clean the found items you must purchase the full commercial version of the SpyDawn software. These false results are actually used as a scare tactic to have you purchase the SpyDawn. It goes without saying that you should not purchase this software.

The website is www.spydawn.com

These are my recommendations:

AV-Anti Virus
Spy Bot Search and Destroy
AD Aware Personal Special Edition
Zone Alarm Pro (any version as long as it is up to date)
