I downloaded this ( It's a Anti-Virus Software thing) and it's not working. Do I need to uninstall Norton AntiVirus 2003 for it to work? >: And why the hell does it cost money to re-new Norton?

you need to install some viruses, avg only actually installs itself if it finds a need to.

Guess I have no viruses then, huh? When I downloaded, ''Ad-aware SE'', It said I had like...1000 plus crap on it, and everytime I tried to hit ''fix/clean'' it would freeze. I got rid of it.

you're too late, the only thing you can do now is ease your computer's suffering

Format your computer, but first of all make sure you do not have any modem driver CDs or means to aquire said drivers.

I haven't heard much about AVG. I think they provide a free standalone virus checker, not an installable version. Basically, you run it whenever you think there's something wrong.

If you want a free resident scanner, try Panda's or the Nod32 one (my favorite, but you have to keep uninstalling/installing).

I personally use McAfee VirusScan for free (provided to me by an employer). I'd see if your school or work offers you a free home version, or if you can leech one from someone you know.

avi7.001
avi7.000
datadir
avi7.002
SYSTAB.RST

I also upgraded to Ad-Aware SE, and unlike last time, it works.

Those are viruses that only get onto worthless people's computers. The best remedy is to stop posting here and give up computers.

I won't, but if you don't stop on your own, the viruses will.
