Virus? |

I hope I am mistaken but I keep getting a virus called something |
|
like service fun, my avg finds it but cannot remove it, symantec |
|
cannt see it. |
|
It seems to start when I spend time on here, are there antivirus |
|
things built into the forum? |
|
Ther first sign of trouble appears to be smiley characters in |
|
teh tabs at the sides and top of the screen. |
|
The tabs on other parts of my browser get a kind of cross hatch |
|
on them. |
|
Everything works fine until I sign in to Seriously.., |
|
Is it just me? |
|
Worried, Bedry. |

it may be malware install malware bytes and see if that helps. |
|
Cant see it coming from forum. if you use firefox browser and |
|
install noscript you can then just run the bits of the forum |
|
that you need to use. |

You'll probably have loads of different virus scanner |
|
suggestions, but I'd recommend to install Avast antivirus |
|
(free). |
|
You can then ask the program to do a "boot time scan" - this |
|
scans when you first turn the computer on, and is when the virus |
|
can most easily be removed. |
|
the anti virus you already have might have a boot time scan |
|
feature as well, it might be worth opening the antivirus program |
|
and taking a look first :) |

Thanks Tom. |
|
Hippy Dave's suggestions seemed to have helped, for now. |
|
I'm due a new laptop, I'm just rather spent out at the mo. |
|
I may go back to Linux. |
