I know, I keep starting the threads here. All those secret spammy tendencies cannot be hidden. :mrgreen: But I need some help from those people wiser than I in matters computing.
My Norton virus definitions live updater stopped updating a week or so back (on 20th October). I think I installed Norton around October last year, which might explain it, but my subscription service says it runs until 2nd February.
In the meantime I'm being cursed with pop-ups (AdAware and SpyBot aren't even keeping them at bay for more than 24 hours now) and the internet is starting to run slower and has frozen up on us a few times in the past week. I ran a search for EXE files the other night out of interest and found about 30 or so that had downloaded themselves since 13th November. They have been deleted, but there are still advertising things on my C Drive that I can't seem to budge (BullsEyeNetwork and WindowsAdControl).
Thus I ask for help. I guess I need to see what's up with Norton in the first instance - am I missing anything really obvious? And I've a feeling there must be a virus of some sort in here somewhere - how the heck to I find it so I can go download the tool to remove it?!
I feel so ignorant.
