Internet/Network Security - Internet Virus Pro Alerts


Expert: Dave Mitch - 6/14/2009

Question
Hi Dave...I listed some household items on Craigs List and received 3 e mails from different people all trying to hire me..same company (Reale, I think).  I answered one and said it was harrassment.  Today I have pop ups constantly from Antivirus System Pro Alert which I do not respond to. They cover the screen.  Alerts tell me of all different threats and attacks.  I have tried to download StopZilla or something like that and it does not finish up.  I am 78 yrs. of age, on life support (oxygen) and the computer is my only outlet.  I cannot afford expensive virus removal programs and wondered if you could help me.
Thank you.

Answer
You can use a free anti-virus software like Comodo.

Update it and run a full system scan. Also do not forget to keep your Windows also updated with the latest patches from Microsoft (just turn on the Windows Autoupdate).

A good firewall, anti-virus and updated operating system should be a reliable system to work on.
