Hell No.. Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Ok so on the old computer, we could have anything up to 100 things of spyware in only a few days. Today, we bought a new pc, so when I got the internet working, I was online for about 5 minutes before I went and downloaded and ran Spybot. When it had finished, it found about 7-8 problems. From where?!! I was on for like 5 mins. In that time, I just checked hotmail,youtube, and mgsforums. What could it be? Im using a wireless connection and I did actually import my bookmarks into firefox, could it be a site in there? Cheers. P.S, I also have this Nortons trial on it anyways.

Wolf68k Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 You bought a new PC? Dell, HP, Gateway, something like that right? They come with "spyware" already installed. Most of which is....crap I think of it....they put out little BS games for people to play. Your first mistake was buying a pre-build system, but that's just my opinion. Just run Spybot and Ad-aware to remove that preinstalled crap. I would also suggest going to Add/Remove Program and removing things that way, then running the spyware tools to remove it. Get rid of NAV trail, if you want...it should be good for a year or so, and get AVG or one of the other free antivirus programs.

Hell No.. Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ok thanks. Well, its just a home computer, for all of us. Our other one broke and we needed a new one more quickly. Banking etc. But its really slick for us. Oh, and its a Packard Bell.
