I am using Protector Plus for my antivirus and have been very pleased with it's performance. I was using AdAware for my spyware protection and still got infected via an e-mail from a friend with Antivirus XP 2008 a week ago. I've downloaded Spybot S&D and Malware Bytes. I've run scans for the last week til I'm blue in the face. Spybot tells me after each scan that I still have Malware on the computer. AdAware will run a clean scan showing nothing on it. I'm now afraid to open any e-mails for fear some fool out there is watching and be able to access my accounts. I just want this junk out of my computer and be secured with good Spyware/Malware protection. I am not very computer saavy therefore it's not easy for me to diagnose and fix problems on my own. I am depending on software to do this for me. Any advice? Thank you in advance. Durnrag
