[Canuck 1]

This f....n computer has a virus on it that I can't get rid of. What can be done? Online? Free?

 

[HocusPocus]

do you know what it is? if not.. what is it doing exactly?

 

[HocusPocus]

i had one of those not too long ago.. vitrumundo.. or something like that. see if you can run ad-aware from lavasoft.. its free. might be able to tell you what bug you got.

if its the one i mentioned then i can email you what worked for me.

go to tools in your browser
go to manage add-ons
go to disable add ons and disable all of them

go to staples and get XoftSpySE run it

 

[HocusPocus]
