What Anti-Virus are you using?
by Ralph Walker Sr. on Oct.05, 2009, under Virus Related
Anti-Virus are not created equal. I have used Norton Anti-Virus, McAfee, AVG, Spy Sweeper to name a few. Most of them seem to slow my computer down. This is why I got into cleaning Malware from computers. In my quest for finding a Anti-Virus solution that was able to protect me and not degrade PC performance.
After purchasing a new computer from Dell I notice something was causing my computer to stall. It came with Norton Anti-Virus but I installed Spy Sweeper to protect my computer. More the better right. Now I know this is what crashed my computer. I discovered that you can not have two Anti-Virus programs active at the same time. Both are trying to do the same thing. Protect your computer. Well you can, however they can not be loaded in memory. My computer got infected and it crashed. I now know that the two virus definitions for Norton and Spy Sweeper corrupted my Windows XP and I eventually got infected.
So I had to reload my operating system. I needed a new Anti-Virus protection. That’s where I found Avast. Download avast! antivirus software a complete virus protection with anti-spy-ware technology offering full desktop security including a resident shield. It’s FAST and works flawlessly with Windows XP and Windows Vista, it will be compatible with Windows 7 too.
From its headquarters in the Czech Republic, Avast is able to completely secure your computer with automatic updates that notifies you by audio daily. It is a great tool and I use it exclusively. All my customers agree to use Avast after I tell them how much better it is over Norton. Click on this link to get a you copy of Avast. Try it for free for 60 days.
I need to add that just installing Avast will not fix your computer. In fact it may make it worse. You need to follow the below steps to get your computer more stable and secure.
1. Remove old or any Anti-Virus software currently installed.
2. Reboot.
3. Clean your computer with this program. Most computers are not currently protected. If this is your case, you computer is most likely infected. So you need to get it clean first. Install Malwarebytes, click here now. This is a FREE utility, however if you really want to protect your computer get the professional version here. I use the Professional version and I have not gotten infected in 4 years and counting. After you download Malwarebytes, install it, update and scan your computer. Remove any infections that it finds.
4. Now you can install Avast Anti-Virus and reboot. You are now protected and secure.
Stay Safe My Friends

Hello,
I hope everyone had a good weekend. I did.
Let’s get t work. I had two service calls this weekend. One was a tough one. When I got there the customer had no Internet connection on both notebooks. One was a HP notebook and the other was a Dell. Neither notebook could see the Internet. The customer had broadband connection. Norton Anti Virus was installed and was about to expire. So I had to remove my old friend Norton and reboot several times. Norton Anti-Virus no matter what flavor will from my experience shut down your Internet connection if it is about to expire and or it detects a virus. I have seen Norton shut down your Internet connection if it is out dated too. So when you remove Norton you need to go to the add/remove program and un-install it. Reboot and you need to get the un-install utility from here, just click here now.
Depending on the version of Norton that you have, download the version you need to remove Norton. The reason you need to do this is because it is recommend by Norton. They realize Norton embeds very deeply into the registry that the normal add/remove process does not work. Now after you download the Norton utility, run it and reboot. Now you system is clean of Norton. You may notice your system running a little faster. I always notice after removing Norton the computer runs a lot faster and is more stable. Most of the virus related calls that I get can be traced back to the installed Anti-Virus package that was installed on the computer when original purchase. Most computer manufacturers installed a trial version of Norton McAfee etc. After30-60 days the Anti-Virus is not currently protecting your computer. You will get constant reminders but if you never renew you will get infected. I get these calls all of time and the computer is 9 time out of 10 infected. So if this is happening to you and you know you are infected or think you might be infected. Before it is two late you need to get these two programs that I use successfully all the time. Follow these steps.
1. Remove any Anti-Virus that you currently have and reboot.
2. Purchase this inexpensive Mal-ware removal software. Go here.
Follow instructions. Run complete scan. Reboot. Go to Step 3.
3. Purchase this Anti-Virus program that works and will not slow your system down. I use it and it works. Go here.
You are now protected from online threats and you have save yourself a lot of money. My average service calls run around $300.00 and more. The two recommend programs I recommend total only cost 64.90.
It is pay now or lot more lately.
Stay Tune for my next post.
