Computer acting strange Antivirus (webroot) should have been working but it said it was "OFF" and that last update was Feb. Updated the other day! Logging into AOL gives security certificate error and different login screen. What is going on?? Updated webroot & ran, but nothing out of the ordinary. HELP!

I have Webroot Anti-Spyware WITH Anti-Virus. I also had PC Doctor Anti-virus with Anti-Spyware. They BOTH said they were OFF when I checked them, but I schedule them to run DAILY. So, what exactly is a "real" anti-virus program??? Norton screwed up my programs last year, bought Trend Micro Suite of products and it won't install, yet can't tell me why after it scans for a reason that it won't install. I thought I was ahead of the game by installing two products with both features of virus protection & malware protection.

I personally use AVG, Spybot and ccleaner. Let me know if you are willing to install this and I can help you out. Take care.
