I've been having problems with my computer lately (crashings, programs working incorrectly, problems online, etc) and downloaded SuperAntiSpyWare as I heard on here that it's the best program for virus protection, often catching things that other programs missed (none of these viruses came up on AVG). I found several trojans (painter, spysheriff, balloon, adwaresheriff, systray/exbr) and have now quarantined them. So my question is - what next? Is my computer safe or is there more that I need to be doing? And if so, what?
Virus help please?security
you should always have at least 2 spyware/adware scanners to remove things. certain prgograms detect certain things that others bypass. i have a few cleanup and program suggestions. choose whichever you like. your computer safety programs might not be the safest depending on what they are. but i can guarentee my suggestions are safe. cleaning up your computer can make it run faster. also go to the start menu, then go to RUN, then type msconfig and choose the startup and you can enable or disable certain programs from starting when you boot your computer. but here are my suggestions:
*AVG is not as reliable as AVAST go to http://download.com and download it (search for Avast home) dont register it and when the demo is up, just uninstall it and reinstall it. it also helps because if you download a bad file from limewire or the internet, it alerts you immediately so you can delete it right away. certain AVG programs will be charging for updates soon and thats not good if you cant pay for them you ushould always keep your antivirus up to date. keep Avast home edition open in your toolbar at all times. it moniters alot of potentially harmful things its really great. if you dont have firewall i suggest downloading Zonealarm (which is free) and if you need antispyware, download Spybot search and destroy and superantispyware free edition
