The disclaimer: I get lots of requests for help
with the following problems, so I am posting them here.
Use at your own risk. I do
not guarantee that it will work for your problems. I am not
responsible if things get worse!
So, that said, I
will tell you that I have used these tools to fix some pretty
messed up PC's. If you can't download these to your PC because
you can't get or stay on the Internet, have a friend burn a CD
for you with the programs on it . Or, you can buy similar
programs from your local stores. You would be looking for
Spyware removers, Pop-up Stoppers, and Anti-Virus programs.
The stuff below is all Freeware, but be sure you read any terms
of use, as some restrictions may apply. Good Luck...
Problem: Your PC freezes up whenever
you try to get on the Internet and all kinds of strange stuff
shows up on your screen.
The problem
may be Spyware. Try downloading these freeware programs to
get rid of the Spyware. Follow the links below:
Spybot - Search & Destroy
Spybot -
Search & Destroy New version still in Beta
Ad-Aware Load one or both of these programs
to get rid of spyware that is messing up your PC.
I haven't used the following yet, but it is supposed to block
the spyware before it sneaks onto your computer.
SpywareBlaster
Problem: Your are getting so many pop-ups, you can't really surf
the net. Download this freeware to
stop the pop-ups.
Panicware Pop Up Stopper
Problem: You think you may have a virus
even though you have anti-virus software on your PC.
If you have anti-virus software make sure you have downloaded
the latest virus definition updates. You have to keep
these updated, so if you don't know how read your
software's instructions.
If you don't think your
anti-virus program is working, then you can try a few other
things. Trend Micro has a program called HouseCall that
scans your PC from the Internet. Click on the link below.

You can also get a free anti-virus program called AVG which has
positive reviews.

Anti-Virus Software
Good Luck! |
