leaf4 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 lol download AVG from download.com and do a scan, that site also has tons of other programs for malware removal, also registry cleaners they help big time for computer speed and restoring it by getting rid of extra files on the computer that are null due to the parent program being deleted etc cleans up partial files and corrupted files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipfisher Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Never had a problem with the link I posted. www.firstrowsports.eu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Probably something I did...perhaps I hit one of those pop up by mistake. But the fact that the sites are full of malware and Trojans is enough for me to stay away in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdrifter Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Why not get the real thing directly from the microsoft website... It's called Microsoft Security Essentials.. It's the real deal, it's free and you'll never be asked to upgrade.. I wouldn't trust anything else!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
