So I was updating my free version today and it told me that I had 5 things in my vault. I was
wondering if emptying it would be the good thing to do. I mean do I just keep the virus' in
there? Or do I empty it and are they then deleted?...

My computer is infected with download trojan virus, norton was able to detect and delete the files
but it's still there....

Just installed Linux Ubuntu on a partition with Wireless access to the Internet and have a question
about the need for an Ani-virus software. Is it suggested to have it installed? and which one is
recommended by the Trap17 users? Ubuntu 8.04 installed via Wubi, if that matters. Both the LAN
hard-wire connection and the Wireless Adapter work, if that matters......

Hello, I was wondering if anybody knew of a good free lightweight antivirus program, as I just got
an internet connection on my slower computer. The computer itself can hardly be called
internet-ready, it's over 10 years old, but it still works fine, the problem is I'm worried
that an antivirus program would slow it down too much. (I have Norton Antivirus and Firewall on my
other computer, which is much faster, and it slows down the computer a lot, especially booting. I
kinda want this computer to be usable online.) I know that there are some great programs out ...

Yesterday I was surfing the net and new virus was detected in my computer, its called
w32.bloodhound. Currently I am using Nortong Antrivirus Corporate edition version 9. This program
detect the virus but was not able to remove it. IF you people have encountered this virus? what
program or anti-virus did you used? Also there I have found a program in my add remove program
called BullEyeNetword and I can't remove the program. Can you please give me hint on how to
handle this kind of anoying program and virus? Thanks in advance I am hoping for your friendly he...

QUOTE I thought a virus was slowing my PC. Then I realized it was my security software.
It's an AVG slogan I saw it PCToday Magazine :-D ...It's true thats was a problem with me
from buying the computer in year 2000 I found that most of antiviruses are heavy to computer's
memory so it slows your system and makes your use very hard /huh.gif"

So my AOL keeps telling me that I need to download a new anti virus. It keeps giving me McAfee, but
I have heard that they aren't so good. Which anti-virus progs do you people use that you feel is
the best?...

Hi all, Maybe this topic is created in the wrong section but i wanted to know if there are people
who use Avast anti virus. And what are your experiences with this antivirus software. I already
tried other programs but they didnt work good enough for me. Thanks...

Well I picked Norton 2006 last night since my subscription ran out so I thought I give a review on
it and let you the members of trap get a good idea what it all before getting it. The First thing I
notice what was different then most Norton software after it install it automatically does the first
scan of the computer (13 warnings_adware). Also for the first time it checks programs that connect
to the internet as well but just a bit better as well then that awful 2005 where the block programs
came up ever 2 minutes that was finally fixed. Also it does a tab FYI on yo...

Ok. I got rid of NAV(Norton Anti-Virus) and installed AntiVir. The only reason I did this is
because I just bought this computer and NAV was all messed up. It refused to update so I got angry
at it and threw it into the ocean. But anyways, AntiVir is just temporary while I'm away from
home. But enough of that, so the first thing AntiVir did was tell me i had a trojan....I got a
message about this a day or 2 ago and this is what it was: trojan.wn32.apropo.225280 pro files>auto
update>autoupdate.exe That was what an anti-hack program warned me about from a Korea...

i find norton anti virus to be more of a hassle than anything on my system. i currently have it
disabled because of the constant warnings and 'tips' it 'provides'. i have talked
with other people about this, and have set up someones new computer that they have little knowledge
about and the responses i get are the same, people are annoyd with it. do you find it protects well?
do you find it too intrusive? any other anti virus programs you prefer over norton?...

Hey.. i got Kaspersky anti-virus.. ive been using it forwhile and all the sudden it wont open.. i
think i got a trojen.. but when i run some online anti-virus it wont find nothing... any1 know what
it might b?...

Have your anti-virus failed? are you full of trojans? and now your computer has your settings all
changed? it happened to me... but i found a program that completes my anti-virus, a kind of
"Settings Firewall". every time anything is changed (desktop, internet conections, startup) it warns
you and let you decide to allow or reset the change. It has a sort of usefull tools to keep your
computer running well and it also block "web bugs". this is good because if your antivirus fails,
GSH will catch all the changes a virus/trojan does to your computer and let you reset them....

Anyone got that W32.Bagel virus yet? Supposably its spreading through Canada and U.S. Its pretty
vicous (smart setup tho). It makes files that sound like adult material and it puts them in folders
containing "shar". What that does it it puts those files that have the worm in them and those
folders containing "shar" like My Shared Folder, Shared Downloads, etc, the folders for programms
like kazaa and limewire, people download those files thinking they are downloading adult material,
but they just get the worm, and then it happens all over again....
