    Angry I had a worm. Make sure you don't.

    My internet was acting ridiculous all day. I normally have 40 MBS down and 8 up..I was getting 1 down and .22 up. I was running AVG and Spybot but they weren't picking anything up. Finally I tried AdAware..and it picked up worms. They weren't keyloggers, but from what my IT-professional husband says, they're the kind that can access my webcam. I wasn't running any script blockers, so that's probably how I got them. HOWEVER, I only visit a handful of sites per day, and SW is the main one.

    If your internet is acting funny, PLEASE run Ad Aware to make sure you're all good. I have a script blocker now and I removed the worms and my internet is fine again. I'm so angry.

    AVG sucks, get forticlient. It works for me. Emsisoft works for malware. Havent had problems with the new computer after getting these.

    I cringe as I type this but Id rather shove pride to the side for a min so that Im safe.... Im extremely under-educated when it comes to many different aspects of computers and software etc - if my current AV program is already running a script blocker,should I still dl Ad Aware?

    AVG is an anti-virus. It'll run passively at all time to help prevent viruses and then you run it once a week or so (or it'll run on its own if you have it scheduled). Ad Aware, Malware Bytes, Spybot, etc... are anti-malware which do not run passively, and you just run them as needed. You should have 1 anti virus and at least 1 anti malware program on your computer, and run them regularly. There is a nice guide to keeping your computer infection free in the post I linked up a few replies.

    You beat me to it.

    What is usually suggested is to have an Internet Security suite like Kaspersky Internet Security or AVG Internet Security running in the back, and use a program like MalwareBytes to run a scan every week. This way, you can make sure that your computer will run safe.

    I should have elaborated more - I have an antivirus AND an anti-malware already,I just wasnt sure if I needed to download Ad Aware in addition to what I had- Jaana mentioning script blockers threw me off (since we are talking about anti malware programs but my antivirus already has a script blocker) NOT trying to blame my confusion on you btw Jaana lol Ive just never used Ad Aware before and wasnt really sure if I really needed it or not.Thanks for the help guys!

    More than one anti malware won't hurt anything, but if you add Ad Aware make sure you add the anti malware version and not the anti virus version as 2 anti virus programs will fight with each other and neither will work right.

    ^^ Yep,def know about that -thank ya maam,I couldnt find the Ad Aware that DIDNT come with some form of anti virus,even the most basic one had antivirus listed in its description but I didnt spend an extreme amount of time searching for the anti-malware only program either. I must be overlooking it somewhere..

    I think they may not offer it as malware only anymore...

    This is the anti malware version: http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Fr...-11129178.html but it directs you to a "newer version" called free anti virus+ http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Fr...-11129178.html

    So I did a scan with the newer version and I had something too. I'm so scared & upset. I don't know if my personal files are in danger - or if my confidential information is jeopardized. I had "trojan-downloader.java.openconnection.as" Really freaked out right now. I quarantined it. Is there anything else I should do?

    lime, that's a pretty old java exploit so any virus scan should have picked it up. Here is the official threat log for it: http://www.microsoft.com/security/po...nConnection.GC

    If you keep your java up to date, those exploits are pretty useless. Make sure to always update your java

    That's so weird because I do scans regularly - so I must have gotten it recently. I'll check if java is updated now, thanks.

    Malwarebytes just found a PUP for me a few days ago - mozilla-firefox-setup.exe (PUP.BundleInstaller.C2R) - apparently it was bundled with my firefox setup,so of course thats making it like ten times harder to figure out if its something horrible that should be giving me heart palps or if it just threw up a warning for something that could have been potentially harmful.

    Not a whole lot about it,especially since the C2R is different from the other search results that Im finding(they usually have something else in place those 3 letters/number).SO frustrating.I deleted it but I know theres a possibility that its still lurking in my system *migraine*

    If anyone has had this or ends up getting it,Id appreciate any additional info if you have or find any!
