Yes, which is why I came here for help. Doesn't make sense to me.

So I bought an HP a while back to do my wife's books on for her company. Just a basic laptop. The Norton antivirus that came free has lapsed, so I've activated Windows Defender. Is it adequate or should I look into something else?

Avast Free is still pretty decent, just turn off sounds and checking updates for other apps. If you really want good proactive protection, I'm a big fan of Malwarebytes Pro. That is pretty rock solid protection from catching anything malicious from any browser session.

Of course if it's just for doing the books and not for anything else, just don't plug it into the network.

**** this FBI virus. System restore isn't working, and now I can't even access safe mode with command prompt to run my anti-virus scan. Explorer.exe isn't working. **** computers.

You're going to have to get into the registry and remove the shell hooks

Got this thing right now where various words on ChiefsPlanet show up as hyperlinks that click through to some spammy search tab when my cursor is over it.
Thoughts? |

Yeah, so if there's anything new for Windows 8 or any other suggestions for the OP, let me know and I can get it updated.

I just got a new desktop (Win 7) and need to figure out what security software to install on it. I've been using AVG, but the last time I updated it I ended up with their damn toolbar installed. So I'm going to avoid AVG this time around. Is Panda Cloud adequate or should I go with something like Avast?
I'm also going to install Malwarebytes. Are there any other comparable anti-sptware/adware programs out there? Any other recommended utilities? Thanks in advance! |

ChiefsPlanet keeps tripping my Avast. Here's what it keeps coming up with....
Infection Details URL: http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagea... Process: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer... Infection: HTML:Iframe-inf Upon further review, maybe it's the damnable IE I keep running? |

Anyone know how to reclaim a Windows 8 C-drive?
It appears that we lost permission to do anything on the C-drive or anything else for that matter. Any help??

You'll have to explain further. If you didn't have permission to do anything on the C: drive, the machine wouldn't even boot. More details please. This isn't malware, so you might do better to start a thread about it and provide more info.
