hi basicly my laptop is telling me that it is infected and says a certain ip address is controlling my documents etc. i dont no what is happening but it keeps on telling me to get anti-virus software, but every site i go to they charge around £30 or so. is there any way to just download it or what.

urgent help needed lads n lassez

thanks ali

If you consider the cost of a new laptop then spending £30 is quite a bargain? Buy the software and keep your computer safe. Norton do a fantasic deal on the whole internet security system from PC world. Stop cutting corners mate and get it installed. you wont regret it.

Free AVG

 

I used to have this cause its free.

Try using AVG (http://www.grisoft.com) or Kerio (http://www.kerio.com) both have free versions.

Free AVG

 

I used to have this cause its free.

And it's damm good as well :duffer:

If it is the same one i had, its spyware, not a virus, which adds services to your startup and changes your IE startpage (a site called spywareaxe or similiar) use a decent spybot rather than a virus hunter

thats the one spyware, so i should use a decent spybot.
