Hey guys,
My aunt's computer is now filled entirely with spyware and trojans and malware and its NOT GOOD! My time online may be a lot more limited now.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Time to get a good anti-virus, spyware program.
Or, if you have copies of the software on the machine, backup the files you can't lose onto a CD or memory stick and reformat the hard-drive
good luck!

for malware/trojans = www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/for your average virus protection = free.grisoft.com/doc/download-free-anti-virus/us/frt/0both free and very safe. its what i use. norton is just too annoying for me. oh and dont forget ad-aware & spybot. make sure to get all 4 and run them all (seperately of course) they all catch and clean different things. it would be a good idea to scan your PC once or twice a week if you are online a lot. if you download stuff, it would be a good idea to scan all files you download. |

I mostly got the problem fixed but there are still little balloon pop-ups saying "Trojans/Spyware on Your Computer". But there aren't the numerous annoying Ad pop-ups and the internet is back up to speed.
