Hey Guys, I would like to get some help. I got a virus a few days ago involving a bogus antivirus program, Spyguard 2008, that downloaded without me knowing. I managed to get rid of some of it but I know there is more files that need to be deleted and probably settings that need to be changed back. I am not able to access any sites that have to do with antiviruses or antispyware. (Norton.com, Avast.com, AVG.com etc.) It is extremely annoying. (By the way, I can access all other sites) Could someone give me a hand? Thanks in advance
