Question
Hi.All of a sudden some webpages won't load and we've been getting pop up ads/fake threat boxes. I've run spybot and adaware and they take care of all problems except Drivecleaner2006. Can you PLEASE HELP? I've searched everywhere and everything and am only midly computer savvy.
Any help you could give to help me get rid of this and not get it again would be SO APPRECIATED!

Answer
Hi Kathy,

Symantec explains how to remove at:

If you don't feel secure about changing the Registry, you might want to have a friend or someone who knows about computers help you.

Hope this helps!

I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

Experience

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
