| 350249 | 2005-04-29 11:06:00 | Hi, Welcome to PressF1 :) You may want to have a read of our FAQ on FAQ #16 - Spyware, adware and viruses - how do I get rid of them? (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz 16), for starters. It will give you some good place to start with. What antivirus and antispyware programs do you currently have? Do you have a firewall as well? |

You must always keep it updated. Have you try scanning your computer under safe mode to see if those parasites are removed? Cheers :) |

| 350256 | 2005-04-29 12:48:00 | What OS are you running would be helpfull, WinXP and ME will probably require that the retsore feature is turned of to stop getting alerts. | Murray P (44) | ||
