Ok, i'm very very sorry if i may not post this, but i really need your help, because i'm too blond for it:P

I've got a virus on my computer from hotbar, i don't even know how it got on there... but anyway, i searched with google a way to remove it, but i can't find it! i already removed the programm, but the virus is still there and all my virus detectors can't remove it (you have to pay for it if you want that)

so can anyone help me?

Thank you, i used the link in it to remove hotbar, i'm currently scanning my computer to look if it's all gone

But no, i've got panda global protector :P first i had spyware, but that really didn't work without you paying for it

So i guess the next thing to do is downloading avast =)

Hmm i still got some viruses, i have spyhunter and it says that i've got 1 infection from jade what gives other people free access to my profiles and i've got 1 infection from zango, what is from hotbar..

hmm how do i remove this 2?

i also got some cookies, but that's easy to repair:P then my second question, my computer got real slow from it and the internet doesn't work that properly anymore, do you think it will improve when those 2 viruses are gone? and what can i do if it doesn't work?

sorry for dp:P

You should really just get a paid one, I have Kaspersky and it's great, no viruses get through it xD
It's used by all IT companies etc, so maybe it's best to get a paid version rather than letting viruses on your computer, some aren't detected too by free versions.

I used AVG before and got a virus, free ones are really unsecure, it erased my entire C drive
no clue where all my stuff went .. and I'm not so good on computers so now I'm extra safe lol

Hmm yea, but the problem is, that i'm still under 18, so i have to ask my parents first haha, first i had a pc with a virusscanner where i paid for, but it died XD

but i'll make sure i get one thank you for your answers

maybe resetting my computer is also a good option for the problem that it's so slow:P

You tried wiping your hard drive? I do that once every two years or so, just back up what you want first. That helps with slowness I believe. We use it because some of the windows updates don't mesh well with older ones.
