Computer problems!

[NJ.]

My computer has recently encountered a few problems, pop-ups for fake spyware programs open every so often and there are more errors


Ad-aware had found 3 counts of malware and norton has blocked 4 trojan attempts

Ive done everything in my knowledge to fix it but nothing has worked :s, Dont know how i got these problems either


Anywho im now using my laptop and im looking for another, whats the ideal specs to look for? Have around a £1oo budget new or 2nd hand

Or does anyone have any ideas how to cure my old computer? its not worth spending loads on it to get it fixed as its over 3 years old now

I'd say norton is your poblem.

How would norton be to blame? Reckon its worth downloading AVG free and giving it a go?

I'd recommend you download the trial of this and then buy it when the trial runs out.

I would get shot of norton.. your computer will thank you for it !

As for the viri/trojans etc just get avg or avast.

A £100 laptop will be no better than your 3-year-old one...

Dont want a laptop, just another desktop

Not bothered if its better, anything around the same level will do

Your going to buy a computer exactly the same as the one you've got, because its got a virus ?

 

[NJ.]

well i cant get rid of the virus, just been down the comp shop and they said they can wipe it and re install windows for £40

Do it yourself ?
