    Default Yay, I have malware...

    Why am I not surprised? If I had a dime for every computer issue that I've had this year, I'd be a wealthy man. Anyways, I can't get rid of the malware on my laptop, and need some guidance. I've ran my anti virus program and Spybot. What now?

    My anti virus program popped up Win32.Malware-gen, if that helps at all.

    That's what my friend recommended. If I download that, do I need to get rid of Spybot?

    No, but I don't run them in real time, just scans

    It could be worse. You could have a Mac!

    Good luck!

    Good god, that program found 69 infected objects on my laptop. Hopefully that program does the trick; I'm getting tired of my desktop.

    You inspired me, so I'm running a malware scanner.

    Halfway through, I already have 1 virus and 11 spywares.

    Oh wait... Mac's don't get virus or malware. It must be mistaken.

    Which one are you running? I'm trying to run one too. Linky would be helpful so I can run it. I wonder how many spywarez and malware I have. I don't visit too many pron sites so it should be kind of low?
