I have Avast anti virus, malware and spyware but got something I didn't want! I had a pop up window on my desk top saying I may be infected and all my icons were outlined in red. I ran all the scans from the above three protectors and the pop up windows and the red outline went away, BUT, cannot get any pages on the internet. I call my local provider and we went thru all the test and check marks and then they gave me someone that said they could remove my virus for $79.95. I have been digging on the internet from work and then going home and trying, but can't get anywhere. I do see where others are being told to restart computer in safe mode, IF i can do this...then what? Thank you soooo much in advance.
