Hello I was having the same problem with the McAfee software, so I unstalled it and got Norton Internet Security
and Fix It Utilities Professional, what norton does is keep all connections to the internet cleaned and secure,
checking for new updates with the live update virus protection, and also keeping all popups blocked, keeping your
computer free, and with Fix It you can know when your system is not up to par a message will come on the
monitor advising you to one click repair or you can do a full diagnostic along with other functions like cleaning
the registry which sounds like your problem, even though you delete files and folders off your system parts
of the files & folders still remains in the registry, with the two programs i mentioned once you install them you
will basically do nothing but enjoy your computer, norton will scan your system first and if it finds viruses it
will remove them before it actually download the protection onto your system hope this helps

Hi People ! ! ! !
why do I get a popup and a five star icon on the toolbar telling me my power point program isn't original???? It's the original one loaded into my microsoft programs so I know that it is and my computer was bought new. Is this a virus scam?
Heres a quick fix to any virus problem: SYSTEM RESTORE
Everytime you update your computer or do something else of importance a restore point is created. This preloaded program allows you to go back to exactly how your computer was at that exact time. BEFORE A VIRUS!
To access go to start, all programs, accessories, system tools, system restore. It really is that simple!
If that doesn't work because you have a bad virus that doesn't let do anything or even get to the home screen/desktop, there is still a fix. I'm not sure this actually good for your pc but it works!
1.hold the power button on the tower until the computer shuts down
2.release the power buton and press it again (this time releasing) to turn the computer on
3.a screen may come up before start-up that says windows did not shut not properly. Just go to start windows normally and select it.
4 when the microsoft corp. loading bar comes up quickly hold power button to turn off computer
5. press again to turn computer on
6. this time you will get a start-up repair screen. launch the start-up repair
7. from there it will process and a pop-up will come up that says to do a restore. click it
8. the computer will restart-hopefullt virus free
P.S. I only have tried this on Windows Vista
also step 7 may not come up
If this does not work- SORRY! ='[

Hello,
I had the same problem some time ago with XP 32-Bit & Norton. After some very intense computer investigation and troubleshooting I found that the only program that would remove this particular problem was at Hello ,
Go to https://www.malwarebytes.com/
And download 1.43
It will clean that off your computer.
McAfee and Norton will not get this off your computer.
I now use this program in combination with Spyware Doctor and have been virus free. My computer runs faster without Norton as well.
I am currently running Windows 7 64-Bit and everything is fine. I initially had the problem on XP 32-Bit as I said above.

It takes you to a warning page that you cant navigate awy from if you try to go to any oage with virus remoal tools. How do i get rid of it? Do I do a retore system form the safe mode? Any way to get step by step instructions?> Thanks

Is Norton Fix It free? If so, then I'll probably be able to use it (I know that Norton is legitimate), but if not, I won't be able to get it.
