newmommie asked:


this is the pop-up message I get:
Mad has caused and error in KERNEL32.DLL.
Mad will now close.
Anyone know if this is really a virus and why my AVG (anti-virus program) never picks it up after it scans? I have it programmed to scan for viruses daily. My AVG is the full version too. I purchased it for a full two years. I was also told it may be some sort of spyware / adware. Can you recommend a good spyware program that offers a free trial?

RubyD asked:

I have Trend Micro PC Cillin which says I have no adware or viruses. I suspected that wasnt working right because my computer is acting weird and so I downloaded the trial version of AVG and ran a scan. Sure enough, It found 2 viruses and lots of adware/spyware. However, I couldnt find where I had the option to remove them? Any suggestions?

SydAus asked:

This is my last resort before possibly having to visit the computer repair person tomorrow. I have downloaded some programs but they will not let me delete it unless I have a registered CD key.

Any useful shareware/freeware you know of that is helpful to remove those listed above?

??? asked:

I have the paid version with all the protection i need from (Spyware, viruses, Trojans, Adware and Worms etc.

My subscription expires in 2011 so quite a wait if I’m going to change…..

I just want to know:

Is it McAfee Security Center good?

(Because it has never found anything on my computer, no adware not even the occasional tracking cookie!)

( I know there is a little adware and a few cookies from looking at the mcafee quickclean.) But they aren’t really my main concern.

Do i have nothing? Or is McAfee just a bad choice for malware detection?

and if there is a better one could you recommend one for me?

Thanks For Your Help In Advance!
Update: McAfee not a resource hog. Very low cpu and ram usage

Derek(Steelers 14-4,cry Ravens) asked:

Only these choices. I won’t include AVG because I had it twice on my computer and I know it DOES NOT pick up major viruses and has a low detection rate. Avast does not have an adware remover, and both AVG and Avast do not perform well on virtual machines.

PC Tools Internet Security
Avira Antivirus
Comodo Internet Security
AOL McAfee Security Center
Or another “free” one that does NOT include AVG or Avast.
