last night i visited a site for naughty valentines poems(sad i know but wtf),but when the page opened up so did 3 trojans(trojan.lop_com)(HIGH RISK!) plus 127 spyware infections!!!
my antivirus (mcAfee)(which i got free when i bought my computer,dell)never picked anything up, neither did "spybot search and destroy" which also runs on my computer(this normaly picks any changes/threats etc)!
i looked the trojan up on the internet to how serious it realy is,and also says high risk,and also says to use "spydoctor"(pctools) to remove all infections.
so i downloaded spydoctor and run a scan which brought up the trojans and infections mentioned,but then why i tried to remove them it then came up saying i needed to pay £39.99 for a subscription.
my computer is now running very slow indeed,and takes around8-10 mins just to get a page up,where as normaly it is instant!
spybot search and destroy has just picked up the following
mediaplex 2 entries
right media 1 entry
tradedoubler 1 entry
zedo 1 entry
of which it has managed to remove,but not as many as spydoctor found
and mcAfee has found nothing!!!!
would i be right in sendning a email to mcAfee asking them why the F*** is your program so S***e.
and never seems to warn me of anything/pick anything up on virus scan etc............
before i bought the comp i had AVG "buisness addition"(102 year leaselol)
and never had any problems whatsoever.
can someone enlighten me on what to do next...............?
