The hard part will be getting them to install on an infected system.. if you can get them installed and UPDATED... then running them should fix ya up.

this ... everyone should be running programs for:

Antivirus (AVG or AVAST)
Malware (Malwarebyte)
Spyware (spybot and spyblaster and winpatrol, i run all of them)
firewall (comodo or zone alarm)

All the above are free and quality programs ... google search for the free latest version to download.

^ I've noticed

To the original poster, when you say you get random commericals/ads, are they occurring when you search for movies and such? If that's the case then you have malware most likely a variation of the vundom (sp).

Now the voices over the internet could be a caused by a nasty virus, or somebody nearby playing Dress up as a Cop.


My recommendation is that you either install linux, or only use Windows when not looking at p0rn. LOLz

I hate when puter n00bs ask for help like that. A back handed insult.Next time just ask for help instead of trying to "challange" people.That shit works for sales people not IT people.

Try to restart you computer in Safe Mode.

If you can do that you are half way there, connect to the internet and download the protection programs called for earlier.

Run each of those in Safe Mode. I would say that should take care of issues. Anytime you feel you have a problem with your system I'd recommend downloading new virus definitions while in the Safe Mode. My current computer came with McAfee (less than great AV software) but for a while it would do automatic updates. All of a sudden it stopped updating, windows stopped updating. I couldn't get it to load manually either, whenever I connected to their website IE shutdown. Didn't have that problem in Safe Mode and was able to clean the system up. I eventually removed McAfee and loaded the free version of AVG. It's stopped everything that has tried since. I use it on both XP systems and Vista. Haven't tried Windows 7 yet.

First I would go to this:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/ma...e/default.aspx
Its free and it will remove all the junk from your computer.

Then go and install this - Microsoft Security Essentials. Its a free anti-virus program that works really well, plus its free.

This is truth, you know. Once you go Mac, you won't go back.

Its the same way with Zombie bites.

Once they get you... you won't go back.

One thing PC users can do that Mac users can't:


Ever notice how most Mac users are skinny? It's because of all the calories they burn because they can't shut the **** up about how great their Macs are. What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their mouths? Everywhere I go, there's another asshole with a Mac preaching about how much better Macs are than PCs. They regurgitate lines directly from Apple's marketing campaign, like "it just works." I have the following rebuttals to this argument:

1. If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called "Mac fix it" exist, assholes? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:

-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe "S" key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can't drag and drop!

Waaaah, boo hoo! I can't drag and drop! Dumbass. Looks like your Macs aren't perfect after all, which leads me to my second point:

2. **** you.

I don't know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots. I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base around the fact that its users can't do simple things like turn their computers on. Hell, most Mac users can't even talk without using their hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and hog shit:



Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It's not so much that I'm a PC loyalist. I'm not. It's that I'm not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I have dandruff, and I buy most of my jeans from a grocery store. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:

# An artist.
# In a band.
# Unemployed (see above).

After the recent Apple conference, Mac fans were elated. One person was quoted as saying "I've had a Macintosh now for a total of 35 days, and I'm really excited to be part of the Mac community." Part of the Mac community? It's a computer, not a social movement, asshole! I feel like Apple is not just selling computers, they're selling a way of life, and I'm not ready to be that heavily invested in a product. I think this parody helps illustrate Apple's unspoken message:



iTunes is the new Real Player:

In doing research for this article, I decided to reinstall iTunes, a program I hadn't used since version 4 (now on 7). Here it is, just working:



Back in the late 90s, everyone used Real Player. Then those cocks at Real Network got greedy, and tried to get their application to take over your entire PC, and people stopped using it. Same thing is happening with Quicktime now. You can't install Quicktime anymore unless you download bullshit iTunes. This section was supposed to be longer, but I couldn't even install iTunes so I could bitch about it. Not that I could have used it for what I wanted to anyway:

From the actual iTunes End User License Agreement.



If I want to manufacture biological weapons with my copy of iTunes, I will, fascists. Ditch this bullshit.

Sorry about that. I'll turn that off for you now.
