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.
