Anti-Virus
Immediately after turning my computer on, a message pops up saying Limit = 15 minutes. Exactly 15 minutes afterwards, my computer restarts. I have also noticed that the date and time on my computer is totally way off but i cannot change it.
My computer is on a domain however I cannot log onto the domain. I keep getting an error saying that the time on my computer does not correspond with the time on the network, so I cannot log onto the domain.

How will I remove the virus on computer?
I was using my computer then suddenly a virus popped up on my screen. It says that my computer has detected a virus and it's a harmful one. I'm trying to close it but it always comes up. I restarted my computer to see if it's going to remove and then after I restarted it, I waited for about 15 minutes before I started what I was going to do. After that it comes out again.
My Antivirus is Avira and it strongly detects the viruses but it depends on the virus and on how harmful it is before it can be cleaned or deleted from my computer.
What should I do now? How will I remove the virus?

I do not understand why this happened after I updated my version of ‘Windows Vista Home Premium’. Windows Defender ‘ was preloaded on the operating system and I could not uninstall it.
Application failed to initialize: 0x800106ba. A problem caused this program’s service to stop. To start the service, restart your computer or search Help and Support for how to start a service manually.

Is svchost.exe a harmful virus?
Yesterday,I used my computer and I noticed a problem. A file or program called "svchost.exe." I think it eats my processor up to 30%. I cannot stop the process because it wouldn't allow me. I also cannot restart the process so what I did was to restart the whole system to be able to check if its going to show again. After that I clicked on the yes button to be able to stop the process but nothing happened.
Is there anyway in which I can stop showing the program or stop it?

My cousin downloaded a file from the internet and ever since that happened, I started to get a lot of pop-ups on my PC. Also, I noticed that sometimes my mouse pointer is moving without me touching it. Is my computer being infiltrated or something? I have an Antivirus installed and it’s updated. It came free for one year when I purchased my computer. I don’t think it is working properly because I still get those annoying ads.Can you suggest the best free Antivirus software that can be downloaded from the internet? I only know AVG and Malwarebytes.

My computer screen has been attacked with warnings that my system is in a very critical mode advising me to download and install their program.
The pop up box shows a dreadful image and almost scares me as if my system is about to crash due to viruses, system and registry errors and that I should scan my system immediately. It is really annoying and keeps popping to my desktop. Even if I hit the X button to exit the pop up and make a full scan using my real Antivirus, it will come back and appear on my computer again and again.

I have read a lot of good reviews about the AVG and I am really wondering about it. I want to try this AVG if its really good and really helpful. Now, I still have the Norton Antivirus 2008 at my PC and it runs good. But any chance, I would like to download and install the AVG version 8 from the internet which is free. Is there a possibility that I can download AVG 8 and I still have the Norton Antivirus 2008 on my PC? Will this AVG work tell me to uninstall this Norton?
Honestly, I just want the trial, I don't want to remove Norton unless I am sure AVG will install Ok and will work good than Norton.
