A Possible Virus Problem?

Every time I set up anti-spyware software, within the next Start Up Its been deleted or uninstalled and all there is for the icon is that "unkown file format" icon.....some help?

Apparently, the Anti-spyware program DELETED something that was run at startup. This is probably nothing that you need. If your computer is running fine, then to to the Start menu and pick RUN. Type MSCONFIG and go to the startup section. You will see that file name in that list. Uncheck it.



Just in case, update your anti-virus program. Then reboot into SAFE mode. (Use F8 during the startup sequence) Then run a full scan while in safe mode.



You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search %26 Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.

If your running XP, then first disable system restore, then reboot in safe mode , install antivirus program and scan; or go to Symantec.com and run thier online virus detector ( also has virus removal tools) If you dont have it already download ad aware and spybot s%26 d, both are free and will help tremendously
