LOL so I got the FBI thing again. This time it removed all my System Restore points. Luckily I forced into Safe Mode and deleted the .exe file in my hidden App Data folder. I'm with Lzen or whoever said "who makes this stuff up?" It's annoying. And Firefox has become a liability. It's the new, old IE.

Thank you Bearcat for providing what I hope is a cure to the nasty virus on my wife's work pc. I ran the whole suite in the original post and all but Hijack Pro were helpful (this was not due to my lack of knowledge.) I ended up running all of the web anbti virus scanners instead. They all seemed to find something new until the end when the last 2 found nothing.

People pay for that snake oil that slows down your computer still?

Agreed. Norton 360 is garbage.
They provide a separate uninstaller app for it, because it's usually impossible to uninstall otherwise. It's coded so badly that the normal Windows uninstall procedure doesn't work. That should tell you how shitty it is. https://www-secure.symantec.com/nort...=1&lg=en&ct=us

Hell, I HAD to boot into safe mode because Norton has it's own device drivers and said drivers were causing BSODs. |

I am having an issue with this generic search engine that attaches itself to Chrome & Mozilla. I can't get rid of it. It appears to come from www.mysearchresults.com. I've looked at tutorials to remove it, and went to programs and removed the associated things for it that I could find but it's still there. Here is a screen shot below, any ideas?

My computer caught a virus, probably about 2 years ago now, that I was able to get rid of with help from this thread (THANKS, DUDES!). Since then, I've been running with no anti-virus protection whatsoever but I'm thinking maybe my computer is running from safe mode. I honestly have no idea what that even means, but heard about it one time and its the only reason I can think of that my comp hasn't crashed from another virus yet..
Anyway, what are some good, preferably free anti-virus options? |
