Computer Viruses

I love your response!, especially the first paragraph, second, and third sentences. Spray them away sounds like a very good suggestion, lol. I had the antivirus system installed when I bought the computer. I see what you mean about the house already captured by terrorists, then it would be difficult for the COPS or SWAT to remove them safe. I'm going to contact at&t, my internet provider and see if they can help me. If they can't, maybe dell can. They are the ones I bought the computer from. I ordered it over the phone, BTW. How do you use the backup and format the system drive? Kathy.

Well Cyrus!!! What I actually do is separate the hard disk into four partitions C:,D:,E: and F: drives. And my system drive is C:. So I format only drive C: which contains the Windows. And my other saved documents, my other required backup of the programs, and other things like songs, videos, all of these are in rest of the drives. You have also use CD drive and other secondary medias for backup too. Another big problem after this is again the virus. It is likely that the virus is already transferred to the backup also. So what do we do. Well basically there are different types of virus. We can categorize into system virus and application virus. I hope the application virus can be removed more easily with the anti virus software. And another is system virus which is most popular nowadays. And most of them comes as a hidden file in each drive we make. When we have already formatted our system drive then still there are viruses in other drive. But your system is not infected unless you open those drives. Once you open those drives, again you are infected. So what you should do is before opening any drive install the anti virus software, that may be from and CD, safe pen drive or internet. Not the infected drives. This will help remove the virus nicely. And mostly if we install the anti virus system after affection only, then though it gets removed, its effects will surely be remaining... Hope this helps...Happy mylotting...See you again...

This sounds a little bit complicated to me. Thanks for the info at least. Another mylotter told me about a virus remover which I have downloaded. However, I found out that if you want the free version, you have to sign up for an offer. I think I'll just stick with calling my internet provider or dell tomorrow. Thanks again. Kathy.

Thank you for your response. I will contact at&t and see if they can help me. They're my internet provider. If they can't help me, maybe dell can. That's who I got my computer from. Kathy.

Hey sskelvin! I downloaded the avira and it says for the free trial, you have to sign up for an offer. Do you have any other suggestions? Kathy.

What is quick heal 2009? I might like to try this. Is it free? The reason why I'm asking is because I'm living on a pretty tight budget and I can't afford to spend too much money. I hope you are doing well. BTW, I hope I didn't sound bossy when I told you you need to eat something. That was in my discussion about water. If I did, I'm sorry. I guess I was just concerned about you. Happy mylotting! Kathy.
