On my desktop background is says, “Your computer is in Danger! Windows Security Center has detected spyware/adware infection! It is strongly recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss.”
I am scanning my files with Norton AntiVirus right now, & i’m afraid that it won’t get rid of the infected files.

We have Norton Antivirus 2008 with Antispyware.
We paid for pop up blockers and adware blockers removal what ever things.

Yet we still get viruses,pop ups and adware.
We have had to redo our computer a few times because of it.

What the hell is the point of paying all this money for these services if they dont even work?

Has any one ever had one that works?

Sonian asked:

My college offers a free professional version of Norton Antivirus and it didn’t find any viruses on the Windows partition of my MacBook. I used Apple’s Boot Camp 1.2b to install Windows and so far so good. I used ClamXav on my Mac OS X partition and it found five instances of “AdWare.BHO-2″. Since the partition is NTFS, I can’t do anything to the Windows partition from within OS X. What should I do to remove these supposed virus detections?
In response to the first answer: I did a search and everyone recommends never having multiple antivirus programs in active memory at once. I’m wondering how I can install AVG Anti-Virus Free yet not have it in active memory and protecting in real-time, yet instead only scanning when I open it myself and make it scan. How can I do this?
