Virus removal on the Windows XP installation on my MacBook?

My college offers a free professional version of Norton Antivirus and it didn't find any viruses on the Windows partition of my MacBook. I used Apple's Boot Camp 1.2b to install Windows and so far so good. I used ClamXav on my Mac OS X partition and it found five instances of "AdWare.BHO-2". Since the partition is NTFS, I can't do anything to the Windows partition from within OS X. What should I do to remove these supposed virus detections?

I recommend you stay away from the new version of AVG unless you have no firewall.The new version has a FW and it wreaks havoc. I used AVG for years and got rid of it this year because they packaged the software. You get what you pay for and AVG free works like a free software.

Try running Ad-Aware instead but you may just have conflicting software that is being recognized as a threat.

Ninjas know the importance of not spreading viruses. I recommend taking your katana to any computer in your house that may have a virus. Even if your not sure. It's better to error on the side of caution.

If you want to have a little fun, sneak up on your computer in the dead of night when it is in hibernation mode. Be silent and be swift!

Why is my computer cutting out?

My computer is cutting out completely whenever I run CD-ROM's, DVD-ROM's or load flash, java etc. content on the internet (usually only happens when it takes up most of the screen). I have been told it could be a memory problem or that my computer is overheating. I've cleaned inside the CPU but it still cuts out. I have AVG Free 7.5 as my antivirus program and I am running Windows XP SP2. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

You need to clean things regularly: ~

Go through a couple of safe mode starts (F8 on bootup). ~

Delete all the deletable temp folders and files C:\Documents and Settings\yourname.folder\Local Settings\temp

Then defrag your disc(s). Finally (or first) scan all with anti virus (recommended 30 day trial of Pandasoftware.com).

Happy to help. Report It


Sounds like overheating check out this article:

http://www.gamegiants.net/article_info.p...
sounds like memory or processor is not up to speed. An upgrade might be needed. Stuff cutting out from the internet could actually be the speed of the internet and that is out of your hands. Or if it's just when cds are in the drive then it could be the drive too. If it was overheating then it wouldn't skip, it would just shut off...trust me, i've done it.

Please help me get AVG ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM on my computer (xp, sp2) I'm unsure how to proceed sa

My machine came loaded with McAfee's trial version, and when it expired, I downloaded the free version of PC Tools antivirus. (mistake #1 ?)

Now I have learned I should have removed all McAfee files prior to setting up PC Tools.

I simply downloaded the new pgm. and it set itself up, and seemed OK.

Now I get pop up warnings that PC Tools version 3.1.0.17 is out of date, but when I try to update it, I get a message, "DOWNLOAD FAILED, TRY AGAIN LATER"

I've browsed "Y" Answers for info, and find most people prefer AVG, and warn that removing McAfee is difficult, and same for PC Tools.

Here's what I THINK I should do:

1. Back up files I need.

2. Download AVG to a file or a disk?

3. Download Mc uninst. tool.

4. Find a PC Tools uninstall tool?

5. Offline, remove Mc and Pc Tools. and install AVG.

6. Pray.

(system restore not attractive, because PCT was added long time ago. Also, I don't have a windows install disk)

Your help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED !

Please help me get AVG ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM on my computer (xp, sp2) I'm unsure how to proceed safely.?best antivirus software

Well it's not the best idea to have more than one AV program running at once but to have them installed, but not active? I'm not sure. I have had to manually uninstall many MacAfee products in the past. I'm almost positive this is causing all of your problems. It's a pain, but they do give you step by step instructions on their website(just find your product and search for manually uninstall). Their auto uninstall stinks it leaves a ton of registry and shared files behind and will eventually corrupt your whole system, my advice once you get rid of it don't ever install another MacAfee product on your computer until they get their crap together.

Im so mad...I have a virus in my computer!?

I have NAV 2006 and Webroot Spysweeper both installed on my laptop and a virus still got through! And 56 spyware programs! And NAV still acts as if my computer is perfectly clean when I do a scan on C:/ I found out I have a virus from one of those free online virus scanners-Panda Antivirus. Now I cant even get NAV to uninstall so I can install a better virus killer! How do I get rid of the virus?

Im so mad...I have a virus in my computer!?bmw

hey! norton is pretty good. what did the online scan show? i doubt it's a virus. i'd blame spysweeper. and nav only removes viruses. you need a firewall to stop them and the attacks. consider norton internet security 2006.

edit: don't install why they suggested. get NIS06, get your windows updated and install something for the spyware. check out download.com and see what antispyware softwares are popular. or search for a top10. if you are infected with a virus, there's no use of backing up your data right now... you can only do it on the clean partitions.

Im so mad...I have a virus in my computer!?free adware remover

i personally dont recommend using NAV right now, coz the developers found out they made an error on the firewall and virus patterns making your pc hackable and open to any virus attacks.
It may not be virus just because NAV 2006 shows that it is. NAV 2006 scans files that resembles or have certain characteristics of a virus file. Sometimes, new files that appears to be virus or spyware that you've installed from a printer software (HP, Kodak), spyware scanner, or some hardware driver, because of the "automatic update" execution command, but they are harmless. You need not uninstalling NAV 2006, just do the definitions update.
antibiotics sorry i don't know.
Without firewall, you will always get new and new viruses. Antivirus software cannot discover all newly created viruses immediately. Protect your PC with some firewall, e.g. Kerio - it works fine for me and i even had been forgotten what is virus on my PC.
Here are the softwares you SHOULD install and run-

Computing / anti virus problem - please help!!!?

My mum has always had norton anti virus on her pc, however this expired a couple of weeks ago. She is reluctant to renew as she is getting a new laptop next month and will no longer use the desktop for internet browsing, so she downloaded a free trial of ESET NOD32 antivirus. Since she has done this the pc has stopped working! You can switch it on, and it is normal at first, but after a minute or 2 everything freezes and you can't do anything. I've obviously tried to remove the NOD32 but you don't get long enough before it freezes. When it does freeze, you can still move the mouse around but can do nothing else. Please help! I'm usually good with computer problems but this has got the better of me!

Computing / anti virus problem - please help!!!?cafe racer

Try starting in safe mode (tap F8 as the computer is restarting) and then uninstall NOD. You really need to remove one security programme (AV and Firewalls) before installing another. I used to be a huge Norton fan but in recent years I have found their stuff to be big problems - it really does not get along with anyone else's stuff

Computing / anti virus problem - please help!!!?free anti virus

system restore
when you first start the pc, (after you press the power button) keep pressing f8 while it boots up and this should take you to a boot scren that'll let you start in safe mode, use the admin account in safe mode and delete the prog from there. then restart as normal.
Restart the computer in safe mode, and uninstall everything related to NOD32. I dont think that NOD32 would be the culprite of the freezing. but try this first. start the computer back up in normal operation and download Avg Antivirus its free and one of the best out there in my opinion. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/downloads-pr...

Click on AVG 7.5 free for windows
The problem is caused because you are using two Anti vrus programs together. You need to down load the Norton Removal Tool - get it on your PC and transfer it to your Mum's computer. start her computer in Safe Mode (repeatedly click F8 at boot up), copy the tool to her desktop and then run it. follow it's instructions.

If your Mum wants to keep her Norton she can get free updates still (even though it's subscription has run out) from

Make sure you pick the correct version for her program.

Never have 2 or more software firewalls running on the same computer as they will conflict with each other. Remember now with SP2 on WinXP there is a firewall, so when using a third party alternative be sure to disable the Windows SP2 firewall.

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser.

you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus. i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar.

firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser.

as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.

besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE. download firefox for free, Just have a try:
