Ive been getting some messages from microsoft security center that my Computer is infected, i also get a shutdown once in a while , and ive tried diffrent spyware and other similiar programs but it doenst seem to work so well. Also i would like for someone to recommend me a good Anti-Virus software and is it possible for me to talk to a technician and make him completely remove all my errors and make my computer work again? And if so how much do they charge? I hope someone can help me. Can anybody please tell me about this log fro m Hijackthis? I would appriciate it. Thanks Raymondzz ZZZ

Be careful here: many of these messages from Microsoft security centre are not...; more often a ploy by vendors to get you buy their products... As far as I know... M$ do NOT send you a message directly telling you your PC is infected... So apart from installing a few well tested, proven, known to be OK utils avoid - these messages and ignore them - unless one of your current utils coughs up the message...? I tend to favour Spybot, AdAware, Avast (av util), Zonealarm...; not currently using CC leaner (has caused me and few others...) some problems with XP in recent past, though many find it OK...

'Be careful here: many of these messages from Microsoft security centre are not...; more often a ploy by vendors to get you buy their products' true but still get the software suggested and see what results you get.

I agree with Trvlr. If it was MS Security Centre or Microsoft Defender giving you the messages it would be a bit more specific at exactly what the problem is. This defiantly sounds like someone trying to fool you into thinking your computer is infected so you will buy their products which are often crap. Stuart

I agree with the above ... don't be fooled by bogus ads pretending to originate with Microsoft. And along with the legitimate programs recommended by trvlr and StuartS, you might even want to check out the following free online virus scan by TrendMicro: Housecall. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

go to www.avast.com and get the anti-virus they offer , it is great and home edition is absolutely free....run a boot scan and if it finds virus look online for remover for that virus........good luck
