Ok got a green screen poping up that says "you have a virus" but AVG and Malware say no you don't, is there any other program out there that should be able to check and destroy?

BOTA:962 · Feb 08, 2010, 6:15pm

Malwarebytes

BOTA:X · Feb 08, 2010, 6:59pm

It's malware. It's probably a file that is running in your temporary internet files folder, use a spyware removal tool.

And STOP USING IE.

ARshootr · Feb 09, 2010, 8:26pm

Superantispyware and malwarebytes. Install in normal mode then run them in safe mode.

If you have trouble killing it, let me know and I'll stop by and take a crack at it.

Google Chrome FTW! Firefox is the new netscape nagivator, IMO.

BOTA:962 · Feb 14, 2010, 11:32am

Everyone always hating on IE..other then some minor issues, have not had a single problem with IE8.

BOTA:16 · Feb 14, 2010, 12:53pm

I prefer IE8 over Firefox. Never really had any problems with it, just that Chrome is light and fast. Kind of like how Firefox used to be when it first came out.

BOTA:146 · Feb 14, 2010, 2:45pm

Firefox seems to render pages more accurately and faster for me.

ARshootr · Feb 16, 2010, 5:58pm

Chrome, IMO, is faster than FireFox, but has annoying quirks that keep me from using it.

IE is a pig,was unstable on initial release, and is a malware magnet. I use it only when I HAVE to.

Maybe in chrome's next release, but not now.

BOTA:16 · Feb 16, 2010, 7:42pm

What quirks? Just curious, I have been using Chrome as my "go to" browser for a couple months now and am loving it. It reminds me of when Firefox was first released and the speed gains you got moving from IE.

Chrome doesn't work well with Webex despite the fact that it should.
