ive actually tested it at school and its one of the best...if its fkin up your torrents than your torrents are the problem i download around 150 GiG per month on torrents with avg and no problem 
OT: Im infected!! Gay ass spyware
- Thread starter smittycal
- Start date
Same here, dunno what's wrong with the other dude's torrents but I download just fine, only problem I ever have problems with AVG is cracked executables, but other than that, it's an excellent program, works a lot better than that bullshit that you pay 300 bucks for.
That's cool........ Don't get any tickets on the way to the show.
I live a few hours north of springfield so I'm not up on the happenings.
Today Imma work on cleaning up fallen trees from the storm, mowing the field, and if I'm lucky..... Hitting up the Amish buffet for dinner!
Attending a car show would be much cooler

Download Antivir antivirus

Download the Sysinternals Suite

If those don't work, reinstall your operating system.

Heh, AVG is so fucking stubborn though, I tried to copy over an executable for Mass Effect, and it wouldn't even let me copy it. I deleted it's entry in the virus database, shut the program down, and it still refused to copy. I had to uninstall the damn program to bypass it, that shit really pissed me off and I should be allowed to at least control what I know isn't a virus and such, not let the program tell me what I know isn't a virus and keep me from using it.
download HijackThis (Cyrus linked above)
go to a forum like What The Tech (http://forums.whatthetech.com/HijackThis_Logs_and_Infections_Removal_f27.html)...
post your problem in a new thread. they'll probably have you run HijackThis, look through the log, tell you what needs deleted, what new programs should be downloaded, how you can protect yourself in the future, etc.
some real smart folks there...have helped me a time or two when I got infected (even after i was infected and it led to ALL of my passwords being stolen and money being taken out of my bank account...scary shit right there). it takes a some time since it isn't "live" help and you have to go back and forth on a message board, but it's worth it. also, once they start helping you make sure that you follow their instructions exactly.

I am a system administrator so I see all types of computer problems
I usually use a combo of symantec anti virus and a program call avant gaurd.
Avant guard used to becalled ewido and its free and it works rather well. http://www.grisoft.com/ww.download-trial even though its says 30 day trial that is just for auto scanning after the 30 days you just have to manually do a scan if you feel there is problems.
also I always do a scan in safe mode first then when windows is fully running cause sometimes in safemode it will delete certain virus or trojans that have problems getting removed while all the services are running.

Use all of them.
I run Ad-Aware, Spybouncer, SuperAntiSpyware, Spy Sweeper, and Spyware Blaster. They're all free for personal use. You can usually just run two, and be fine.
Yeah... You can get ad-ware/spyware if you swivel around once in your office chair. Take it easy there, Zer0 Cool.

the only way this problem wont happen again is if smitty learns from his mistakes
