hdroyer Posted July 25, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 25, 2008 I know some people that got a Anti-Virus program on there computer and had no uninstall one from France one from Belgium. I used SuperAntiSpyware to get it off its free and works great. You have to up date it and run scan on the free edition. Avast is a free Anti-Virus program that is free (my favorite price) and top rated it has an on-Access Scanner. You have to run the scan but it up dates its self and will run a boot scan after in stall. Some people I know paid $50.00 to have them removed.

Eck Posted July 25, 2008 Share #8 Posted July 25, 2008 Sure hope you have it fixed Cinderella... it appears you do anyway... I know it's aggrivating.. I think we would all hate to see Dale on crutches.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted July 25, 2008 Share #9 Posted July 25, 2008 You're absolutely right Cindy, it's very likely he did it. Or at least that it happened when he was on. Let us know if you decide to beat him or not. If you knock him around any take pics might be a good lesson for some of the other guys. :rotf::rotf: Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Posted July 25, 2008 Share #10 Posted July 25, 2008 You're absolutely right Cindy, ... Let us know if you decide to beat him or not. Margaret I think I'd rather have the 'puter virus than Cindy beating on me!! :rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
