Um.. the McAfee Site Advisor dissappeared from my toolbar. I went to the McAfee website and downloaded it for free. It is still not there. i got rid of spybot b/c i thought that it blocked it or something, but its still not there. any suggestions?
No antivirus or antispyware protection is perfect but a good mixture of the two will help you clean your system and hopefully keep it clean.
Be advised that some infections will corrupt or disable your resident security products so for completeness I have listed a few online scans that may help you:
Norton -
Panda -
mcafee
Trend -
Suggest you download, update and run a full scan using the following product:
SuperAntiSpyware will remove the majority of difficult Trojans not just the easy ones.
If possible it is recommended that you load the application in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. However, if you are badly infected you might need to run SuperAntiSpyware more than once to help clean your system. If the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satismcafeefied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore.
In addition I suggest you download, update & run Avira. Unlike a lot of the free antivirus applications this will give you real time protection and is very quick to load at boot up.
Assuming you have some real awkward infections and the suggestions above failed to finally clean your system I suggest you download a Smitfraud removal program from:
Again if possible run in Safe Mode.
Good luck & safe surfing.
