I suggest you run Adaware and do a full sweep with a decent, up-to-date virus checker.

 

I deleted my Adware and my Norton antivirus isnt functional anymore.But I dont have any spyware or adware because I used spybot yesterday. :D

Im telling you I dont have any viruses.

I would put money on your PC having at least 1 uninvited guest if you use no defences of any sort.

 

Describe your set-up. I'm betting you're behind a physical gateway?

 

I have no clue what your talking about?

If you have a direct modem connection, no firewall, and no a/v, I guarantee your PC is being port scanned constantly by worms, and I wouldn't be surprised if you've picked a good few up.

 

What OS do you use?

Well its too late for that.

Too late for what? To update your A/V?

 

If it's not up-to-date, it will just miss a lot of problems.

 

Last week Sophos issued about 40 new virus warnings - if you haven't updated since January you can imagine the unseen horrors.

Jeez how do you people get so many viruses?I dont think you need that much protection. :P:)

Nobody has actually said "hey I get X viruses", so I don't know what you're talking about.

 

I don't get viruses. That's not because I don't know they're there, it's because I know how to recognise and avoid them, and if they do get on they last less than a millisecond because I am well-defended.
