From my other message
Ok, When I disable my firewall
PC cillin 2007, I will start getting popupd to
PC turbo pro, I googled it and found it comes with DriveClean, But I have found no trace of it.

Doing a spybot Search and destroy scan, it detects many cookies, and with them are
trogan BlackCore by Kill home Inc.

And maleware called ErrorSafe.

Any help would be great, My pc is experiencing slow downs.

Ok now my Firefox, when ever I try to go to a webpage, down the bottum right it says its Looking and it allways comes to a search page, Myway Search,

I am in need of some urgent help so please some one take notice :'(

try using eScan AV or eScan ISS both are good softwares as i have personal experience using them.

It currently has the largest virus, spyware, trojan, worms and adware database. I'm sure it can solve your firefox and PC turbo Pro problem.

As I had used eScan to solve a similar problem I faced with IE 7

Update your service pack, it will help with your virus problems. I had a neighbor fix my other computer and it had thousands of viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, and adware. He put Ad - Aware SE Personal, AVG 7.5, CCleaner, and Diskeeper. They are all free except Diskeeper. I strongly recommend them. Ccleaner clears history, etc. It also fixes issues in your registry. AVG 7.5 upgrades every time you get on the Internet if you have DSL it updates as soon as the computer loads. I also suggest you use Mozilla Firefox, or Seamonkey. Just go to Mozilla.org and download it and use it as your main Internet browser, you can delete IE but it doesn't matter if you do or not. Hope this helps you.

I hate to sound rude but it's obvious that you have no real updated antivirus program.

It's also obvious that you are infected with spyware and worse that you allowed through.

You seem to think that a firewall (soft or hard) will protect you from most things and that you can just clean the other stuff once in a while.

MyWebsearch is just one example of spyware that you allowed to bypass your limited security.

If you don't have an antivirus program at the bare minimum and are just depending on a firewall you have major issues.

Firewall-Antivirus-Spyware blocker-IE security settings-Windows updates. Do you have everything in place?

Although it is possible to clean any unprotected machine I hope you're up to the task and have the knowledge and tools to do it. Otherwise format and start over.

There are good free programs to help you such as AVG and Spybot as mentioned but if you have ben running unprotected you will have a difficult time

But with good free programs and a couple years experience for a novice with a completely corrupted computer you should be able to clean it and speed it up in a few days.

And in a week you might be right back where you started.

Again, not to sound rude: Learn fast or pay goood money for full protection. Or you could just format every few weeks.

We were all novices once. Good luck;
RandyL

I get popups when I turn PC cillin off,
Cookies are added like every few seconds then deleted by Ad-aware, And my PC is running incredibly slow. This site was my last resort and still nothing.
