Virus & Spyware

Virus & Spyware

I’m just wondering, what are the signs of a computer being attack?

Sometimes when I get a virus on my computer, but I do not worry about this because I have a good Antivirus that will wipe the entire virus in my computer.

But these viruses especially Trojans is a tool for intruders to get a hold on our computer.

How do I know if intruder has got into my computer?

After installing the downloaded updates of Windows I suddenly was surprised when Windows prompted this.

So then I clicked close but then no notification appeared.  Any help?

 
"McAfee SpamKiller Account Detector has stopped working"
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

My previous Antivirus was Norton but I am not satisfied with its performance in terms of detecting viruses.So I searched over the internet to find the best Antivirus that I can use. I found out that Microsoft Security Essentials has a good feedback on most forums that I have read. I downloaded and installed MSE successfully it also updates its definitions. But these following days, when I try to update it because I saw the last update was a week ago, it displayed an update error (refer to the image below). Why do I get this error although I have a fast internet connection?

Hi,

This morning I noticed this error message showing on my security software “Win32/FakeIE”. I am using a CA internet security suite plus V7 on my computer. It also says false positive.

I just got this software installed few weeks ago and I just don’t know what to do with it.

I’m quite scared to touch it because I might not be doing the right thing here. Help me please ASAP!

Hello,

I want to change anti-virus and so I try for several times to remove Kaspersky expired, except that nothing works when I click again on the Add / Remove programs screen becomes lighter and is written: Do not answer. I despair, what are the possible solutions without damage because I am not using anti-virus for 2 days?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why nothing would work on any of my browsers after I downloaded Kaspersky 2011. I also noticed that it mostly affect sites that supports Flash. I just downloaded this new software last week and I am on Windows and does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

I currently have a red X on Sophos Antivirus. A "mouse over" shows "sophos protection update has failed". Right clicking and selecting "Update Now" causes a window to show that states "Downloading Package 1 of 4…2 of 4…3 of 4…4 of 4" then it shows "Installing Package 1 of 1" then it just quits. A look at the log file shows:

Today I ran into the problem where running Blackshot game causes my Antivirus to crash, hence disabling it. I tried re-enabling the Antivirus, but it crashes again. This continued until I closed Blackshot. This incident has never happened before, and I was away from the game for only a week. I've tried adding both Garena and the entire Blackshot folder into my Exclusion list, but the problem still persists. Disabling the Antivirus allowed me back into Blackshot, but I feel that this is a security concern.
