Hi. Before I go any further please, pretend that you are talking to a 4 year old. I'm really slow when it comes to fixing things on this dang computer.
I've got a Dell, with windows ME and IE 6.0. I've just discovered, last nite, that I have a Trojan horse virus on my computer, and, according to a free download of SpyHunter (just to find out) I have 87 different parasites roaming around on my system. Two in memory, 11 in registry and 74 in my cookies. Sounds like fun. NOT. Probably why my computer shuts off my itself, resizes my desktop, erases things, S L O W, and a ton of other things.
My current antivirus is AVG and apparently it won't look after this virus. It tells me that I should move this virus to the virus vault and when I press the key to do that it says...that file cannot be removed. File is..C:\ _ RESTORE\TEMP\A0247544.CPY
I'm assuming that because all of this stuff is floating around on my computer that, that is the reason my AVG only works sporadically. It's supposed to update automatically, but only does it once in a while. It's also supposed to scan every morning at a certain time..sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't do that for a few days. Because it's supposed to do it automatically I don't always remember to check on it.
Can someone with patience help me out? Thanx a bunch
