Thanks!

I think I have some kind of spyware because I searched for knowledge about spywares for my schooling and noticed that my computer have a lot of described symptoms (slowness, my browser disconnects often and when turning off I've sometimes noticed that the computer shut down a some kind of strange software which I have never opened, called □□□□□□w* or something).

Does AVG or Malware bytes work with F-Secure? Because I don't want to uninstall it.

I have to be at the bus stop in 15 minutes..
I don't feel like going to school, than god there are only 14 weekdays left

TaMMa, depends on the activity on your pc. Malware bytes will work with F-Secure however Don't Install AVG with F-Secure. You will never see your login screen otherwise as both antivirus conflicts.

Sorry for putting in bold I cannot emphasize more strongly then that .

Malware bytes is one of the best antispyware tool. Run it!, Spyware doctor, run it but make sure its uptodate and also when you run a scan you have to make sure you delete those spywares from "Recovery" section too.

Regarding browser being acting stupid, is because you have too many Active X and BHO's, click on Tools tab on the left side of the spybot (this can be enabled by clicking on mode menu "Advanced Mode" upon prompt click ok).

From the options (check boxes) make sure all checkboxes are ticked. Once you tick each unchecked box a link will appear on the left hand side bar. Click on Active X and delete those which are marked in RED and do the same for BHO's.

Click on System Startup and see if there are any RED marks there.

If you are not sure which ones to delete, take a print screen of them and post it here. (Taking a print screen is by presing Print Screen on your keyboard).

Hope this helps

I thought you love school Sisi... - History?! French Revoluuuuuuution, Russian Revoluuuuution hahaha...

Bleh, I'm at school now !
I don't like book keeping ! And I had a double one
I'm at computer-usage now.. being bored.. this is the only class left today ! Yay

I am stuck here and sitting here reading books of my work. The reason is because the database administrators are way too busy to deal with my issue of reporting. Hence I can't do much for the time being until they do something about it.

**Sigh** lets go back to the book and read some more!

Thanks Jehanzeb again. You've helped a lot. And I won't install AVG .

I think I'll get along now. Except if somebody would tell to me what BHO means? Is that a some kind of abbreviation? English isn't my native language so I don't know a lot of of abbreviations or professional glossary. I tried some general dictionaries but them didn't help me.

Haha Sis I would love it if I had something to do with books when I'm at a school. But no, just sit 6 hours on uncomfortable chair and use computer every day.

Hello, I don't use "English" abreviations as I myself not familiar with them. Though I talk Computer language, and I guess I talk too much Computrish! Haha ...

BHO is simply a Browser Helper Object, kind of add-in / plug-in that modifies a web browser. These objects may be useful, like goggle's toolbar, or harmful, like a spyware or adware program that looks like a toolbar.

In your case I think you have spyware, do you have one with similes on it? Or the one which says "Web Search" on it?

I hope I didn't explain that in computrish again! If I did please let me know and I will explain again.

Regards

I've only a simple Google plug-in on my browser (not a toolbar, just only a one plain field). But I use Opera at the moment and I'm not sure if I had some toolbars on Internet Explorer... I think I have.

Yeah I think there's something wrong with my computer and I've decided to try find out what it is... Really thanks for advice I'll try those programs you recommended.

I have to stop lurking around the debate section
I so often have to "bite my tounge" so I don't get rude..
