I am in need of some help. My brother got a worm on his pc...and it just suddenly dawned on my...(hello!) that maybe I had better try and run some sort of scanner thingy to see if my Laptop is as clean as i would like to think so.

The problem is this: I don't know how to do this....some guy installed a version of McAfee about 2 or so years back when i was at my old college...needless to say its been 2 or so years since i thought about it...I have been getting alot of BSD...(blue screens of death) lately is this normal?

I dunno maybe I am freaking out over nothing, but I just want to be safe....:confused:
 
If McAfee is still installed on your system then there should be an icon that looks like a shield with a V on it. You can try double clicking that and see what pops up, or you may try looking on your start menu to see if it's listed in there anywhere.

If it's not still installed and you need a new virus scanner I personally recommend AVG from www.grisoft.com . It's totally free, and I have never had a problem with it and it caught everything that has ever tried to get on my system. The program is free and so are the updates.

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day

So being a sniper is just a sideline ?
Or do you snipe online ? As in games perhaps.
 
Can you really trust the online scan things?

Not to sound paranoid...but I don't like people looking onto my computer....lol ok so i'm fucking paranoid!
 
Holy Quran - The Narratives [28.76] Surely Qaroun was of the people of Musa, but he rebelled against them, and We had given him of the treasures, so much so that his hoards of wealth would certainly weigh down a company of men possessed of great strength. When his people said to him: Do not exult, surely Allah does not love the exultant;

pcpitstop is completly safe...

I use it once a week. Yes, they access your computer but for testing purposes only.

You can either take it to a tech to have it looked at (and he will look through your files..it's human nature to be nosey).. or you can do it for free online.. where you are less likely to have someone actually looking at your files.

you fuckign twat, I don't shoot people everyday


I have like 3-4 assignments per year, if that

And the rest of your time you sit at your desk drinking coffee and munching donuts I presume.

Just a thing I thought I'd comment upon.
In another thread you told us what you wore.Rolex watch and so on.
It dawned on me then that the very same style of clothing up to and including the watch is the latest rage among a lot of Arabs.

Now I'm not putting them down in any way,I'm just curious why you'd emulate their type of dress.

You can hug me.. I'm protected. My computer isn't on the net unless I have my firewalls and virus scans running.
