That shit used to happen to me, your virus program is fine. Usually its just a scam people do to make you buy their shitty product. It just stopped happening after a while for me. It used to be like "You have 1000 malware infected files" and i click to fix them and it tells me to buy. All i can really say is dont worry.

Fuck that, Download Comodo, its the best free firewall. During installation make sure you select whatever that's recommended, after installation, scan your PC. Once it finds all the malware, trojans & viruses, it'll than delete and quarantine the ones that can't be deleted. Trust me this program is dope.

http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/index.html

Download the > Comodo Internet Security (Free Download).

Its called adware i think :unsure: but yeah thats what you most likly have somewhere on your com tryna scam you into buying it.

Hell fucking no, it only does that when your computer is infected. So do download that firewall than scan your comp. Otherwise IT WILL crash.

No it doesnt man, my comp was fine when i scanned it and if it was messed up then Rogers would have cancelled my internet (they do that with people with viruses, could spread over hte network or some shit). But whatever, at least Tru's problem is solved.

The virus thing that keeps poppin up is very likely not real, im about 99.9% sure about it. If it is real, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will for sure get rid of anything you have that can infect your computer

You should go to this

http://www.malwaree.org/?tid=meorg&gcli ... agodNmG54w

I downloaded it once my computer had some trojan, and it detected over 150 active viruses on my computer. Meanwhile all the other ones I tried didnt do shit. So you should try this, its free

Yeah, AVG is really picky about that.

I have like 3 anti-virus programs lol but im not sure if its bad to have more than one. I never heard of it being bad for your comp., but who knows it might be. I dont wanna say its not bad then have you screw up your comp. because of it so idk for sure. All I know is the one i listed worked VERY well for me, and made my computer 5 times as fast as it used to be

It's not just AVG though. My brothers said you're only supposed to have one because then the system can get confused and cause errors.

Is AVG a good program? 'Cause I was only considering downloading that malware shit as an extra precaution. I don't want to uninstall and install another whole program.


I doubt it's good for any of them but when I tried to download AVG it made me delete my other program first.

malwarebytes does not operate as anti-virus, it's simply a malware scanner. it only does work when you tell it to scan, otherwise it's never even running unless you tell it to. so basically, no you do not have to uninstall avg to use malwarebytes.
