I have an HP dv2911us. Everything is stock in it--haven't changed a thing. When sitting idle on the desktop screen, I can hear the fan turn on and off about every 3 seconds. I'd really like the...

Alright. Thank you.

I have been unsuccessful in fully disabling AVG 8. I tried exiting the tray icon, as well as disabling it through msconfig. Combofix keeps informing me it is still running. Any suggestions?

Ok, I updated my Malwarebyte's and ran a complete scan. Here are the results.

No clue how I got it. I keep getting random web pages popping up. sagipsul.com is a popular one. I'm sure there is probably some spyware in this mess too. I use malwarebytes. It found about 19...

I replaced the CMOS battery with a new one...didn't help. I then found the CMOS jumper and moved it from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3. The computer will not turn on at all when it is in pins 2 and...

Lately, I have been having problems starting my computer. I push the power button and the computer doesn't come all the way on. I wait about 15 minutes for it to seemingly "warm up", then hit the...

I have an older Dell Inspiron 2600. I'm try to get it fixed back up for basic internet and word processing use. Sometimes when it is plugged in with the A/C adapter, it will start up fine. Then...

If it isn't too much trouble, could you instruct me on how to do this? I have never done it before. Thanks.

I do have windows firewall enabled, and I have always have it enabled. I did download SpywareBlaster. I uninstalled AVG 7, and installed AVG 8. I emptied Malwarebyte's quarantine and ran a new...

AVG just found another one: trojan horse downloader.fraudload.U

It also found some more dropper.Bravis.A trojans. It healed most, but said a couple could not be healed because they could not...

Today AVG found another infection, trojan horse Dropper.Bravis.A

AVG healed it. I haven't noticed any effects of the virus. Should I do anything else?

I do have windows firewall enabled. Is this not secure enough? Would you recommend an additional firewall, or will I be alright with windows firewall?

I really appreciate all your help. Thanks.

It seems to be working fine now. No more google redirecting or antivirus site blocking.

I really appreciate the help. Does it appear that I did take care of all the bad stuff? Do you see any...

By the way, any clue how I may have gotten this trojan horse SHeur.chkn or how bad it is?

Unfortunately when I click the anti-malware link I get the "Failed to Connect" message. I do have a laptop as well. I guess I should download it with that and move it over with a thumb drive?

I am having a problem that seems may be common today. I get redirected to random websites when I click on search engine links and I also get a "Failed to Connect" message when I try to access...
