Firt I want to thank you who every you are by reading this... now I have a computer problem... but I want to know first what is the best anti spy or virus should I use... I have tried spybots, adaware, Microsoft beta, trojan hunter, norton 2005, zero pop-up, spyware doctor, symantic, avast... but these can't get red off the virus... my homepage can't be change it always going back to about:blank, lots of pop-up appearing every time... my computer is getting slow... and I guess this is because of the virus... so now I need some advice from an expert so please, need your knowladge help me... :confused:
Oh one more I also used hijack but sad to say I accedentally hijacked my toolbar how can I replace it I download a new one but still can't use it...

I like Norton Internet Security, and call it a must.

Other stuff I do periodically to keep my 'puter healthy... stuff you can do now:

Run Spybot and AdAware

Defragment

Check my startup items at Start > Run > msconfig (Windows) and remove the junk.

Dump my temporary internet files.

And last but not least, I reformat my hard drive once or twice a year.

I hope this helps :o

I'm not familiar with avast and avg but do know that many apps that supposedly do us good end up hogging resources and making the 'puter run slow.

Actually people use Avast or AVG specifically because programs like Norton AV (and all other Norton programs for that matter) are such resource hogs. You could give me a lifetime subscription to Norton AV and I would chuck it in favour of AVG.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out myself!
