My scan this morning came up fine..I am going to try one tonight after dinner too. I haven't noticed anything unusual on the puter today..so I hope thats a good sign.
Boy I did this morning I came in here to TCS and clicked on Cool Cats thread to go to the fur pictures and I had about 100 windows in a few seconds, I don't have a clue what that was from, I'm thinking this new wireless keyvoard and mouse must have had a wreck, took me forever to get rid of those windows, then I was dumb enough to try it again
did the same thing. I have been through this computer and I see nothing, plus all the slow loading but that's just on here no where else and sometimes the pages don't load at all.

Maybe the people who create viruses need a pet to kill time??????? Mind you, if they do this, then they may not be good for a pet, hmmmmmmmm.

Which browser are you using Natalie?

Edit - I'm also lazy - what anti-software have you run?

You may want to try Firefox.

Also, check out SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard here. Because of the wide variety of spyware, you should run several. SpywareGuard also can ask before your home page is changed.
