Topic: Spyware on my computer.

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #2,033

My sister looked at a picture and it downloaded 32 different viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, and all that. I was wondering if anyone knows any good free virus removal sites that they could link to me. My profile on the computer works fine, but hers is messed up. Please and thank you.

Thank you sir. :) Downloading it now, I had another one called Kaversky downloaded, is that one any good? And, will the Free version of this delete all spyware, even though its on another users profile?

Only on an admin account. Run MB in safe mode on her account.

I can barely open any programs on her profile, and when I tried to download a virus program on hers it wouldn't even open.

Boot it up, press F8 or F11. It will give you the option.

I could barely open any programs on it, but I'll try and do that, I can open my programs on her profile, so I shouldn't have any troubles, right?
I'll post after the scan on my profile is done.

@previous (Harleen Quinzel !jEsTERxAng)
So this should get rid of all of the trojans and stuff? Or just run a scan proving that they are there?

If you let MB update, it should get it all.

If the antivirus program won't run, try changing the file name to "explorer.exe".
