trojan is 1 of 3 major virus i got today it basicly slows everything up really its just a major pain but is serious

w32.alcra.B is one of the most deadly computer virus ever made it is a code 3 in nortons file and is the grand daddy of all worms this one will have your comp dead in 24 hours so if you get this be afraid be very afraid and get all scans every thing youve got on that thing!

adware is a medium level virus and can just slow everything up but this one can also copy your files and start sharing everything over the internet so its bad for a buisness computer


the best thing i can sujest is norton 360 total control its extremly fast for catching these and is my personal recommendation for all computers

hope this helps as i almost fell victim to these s.o.bs but norton killed them

I've never used any kind of virus protection (heck, I even have Windows Firewall turned off) and I have yet to get a virus on my computer. As long as you're safe, don't go to sites that have a ton of ads, and don't download files from places you don't know about, you shouldn't have any problems. What did you get the virus from?

Right, well think of it like a real virus. During cold/flu season, I don't go around shaking people's hands and breathing deep when they cough or sneeze. I take the same precautions online. I do use ESET Nod32 as a virus scanner, but I can't even remember the last time it found anything. It's a common joke online when a person asks what the best anti-virus to use is, a lot of people just answer, "Common-Sense." :lol:

Best of luck to ya, gettin rid of that thing.

Norton is a pretty "low grade" anti virus thing, There are 2 really good ones on the internet for free and they work really well, I cant rememebr the names thoguh.... actually i think the one AoB is talkign about is one of them...

Nortons is one of the worst anti virus out there.

AVG 2008 > all


Lolz you forgotted something. Avast 4.8>AVG>Norton


I've been using Avast 4.8 Professional for ages and it is the best anti-virus out there, in my opinion. I did a scan with Norton the other day on a friends computer and it found nothing, so I tried a copy of Avast I had on my mp3 player and it found about 4 trojans and 3 worms.

I trust my computer with it :p

I used Norton for six years.
It sucked.
I use McAfee now. Works great! It's fast and gets the job done.
 
i double my money when it comes to antivirus protection, because i can never be too careful when i download and host bittorrent files. YOU MUST HAVE ANTIVIRUS BEFORE YOU TRY IT.....
actually, my copy of photoshop had a trojan in the keygen, but my antivirus got rid of it. Go with...ahem...
webroot spy sweeper with Sophos Antivirus. and, i also choose McAfee.

DONT GET NORTON!!!!! ITS CRAP!! it probably causes more problems than it solves.

no guys norton cought those and there is nothing else there ive checked everywhere

can some help me locate the regester on vista i cant find it
 
dont use norton. it has rubbish detection stuff. it also never updates well. you are never up to date with anything. we had a virus that norton didnt find and because of it had to wipe our computer. it also slows your computer down massively. funnily enough we had the same virus as above on another of our computers but actually found it using spybot and McAffey.

basically:
dont use norton! it sucks!

just change before you get something really bad.

trust me, i have personal experience and my uncle is a top-dog pc and mac advisor.

I programmed my custom virus protection... I hate norton since it slows my computer down like hell and i think it's installing viruses on your computer on purpose so that you would keep re-buying the subscription.

Besides i dont really need a protection system since i can easily delete one if i come across one..
(if you can program the virus, you can delete the virus ;) )

EDIT: pretty much agree with you chazodude.
