I have a virus and use trend micro internet security
OK I have a virus on my main system its vista based and to start my trend micro wont start

up anymore no matter what I try my dad was using the pc and downloaded something from

facebook so trend micro wont work at all that was just to start and then the system wont

boot at anymore after windows loads it crashes tried all the safe modes and all those

options so I will just re-install windows and my question is what is the best internet security

configeration some folks have said have the AV be from one company the firewall another

and so on what would you guys suggest or is trend micro the best out there so what

stops and removes the most mal-ware viruses spyware etc etc and is easiest on system

resources should I get one program that has it all wrapped in one or have each

component be from a different company Please advice thanks

Try Anti malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php first to remove it. and you can buy Norton Inertnet Security,..I think it's the best,..always keep my computer safe, but as you know every computer's User talk about his own anti virus and computer. I think Norton can do the best.

Buy Norton Inernet Security

Download AVG antivirus free

Downloading from Facebook can leave a computer wide open to a malware infestation.

Download HijackThis 2.0.2, allow it to install in its default location, run a scan with it, save the resulting log in Notepad, then copy-and-paste the entire log here.
