My computer seems to have contracted spyware, specifically WinFixer. I have run Adaware, SpyBot S&D, AVG, and PestPatrol and have had no luck in getting rid of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

I think i MIGHT have spyware on my computer and my family was about to make an online payment. But i was thinking if we had spyware wouldn’t it take the credit card information and all that stuff that you need to put in to make a purchase online? Thanks for your help.

event horizon asked:


Is it possible to get viruses or spyware when I am browsing the internet on my PSP (using wifi from my PC) that can effect my PSP and/or my PC?
But if a virus or something is developed for the PSP, can the PC (that is used for internet connection on the PSP) be affected?

k j asked:


I’m wondering, what does spyware do to your computer? Also, is it like people sitting in front of screens watching everything you do? Thanks!
To clarify, I mean do people watch what you do on your computer and try to get account passwords and such?

WhizKid asked:


I heard that this was a main purpose for it since with XP, you can get all this spyware/adware on your computer. So with Vista, do you not need to worry about removing it or does it mean that it reduces it a lot? I am asking since Dell has some extremely low price deals on XP computers since after June you will not be able to register XP.
