If your Security Scan is going off, you are really likely to have a virus. That's what modern viruses are capable of doing. They deactivate your scanner and program and rampage your computer.

Good luck.

My computer doesn't have any security scan, which is really bad. I'm doing good though so far without it.

Are you aware of what Viruses actually do?

There are different types of viruses, some dangerous and some almost harmless...

I don't know, but it's lovely to announce you're not really protected from viruses anymore on the internet...
Not like anyone will try to send you more...
Just kidding...
I would use a new virus scanner... there is plenty of good ones out there

Why don't you use avast? High detection rate, almost no false positives.

I use Kaspersky, I never had any problems.
It scans your pc every time you turn it on (your pc).
I never had something else...

Re: OH ****, My virus scan just went off.

I made my own virus scanner.   So far so good, I've been running it with only minor updates for a little over a year.   I call it 32VS, but I might rename it and maybe even publish it someday.

I use AVG, it's the best "FREE" Antivirus program out there. Is it not?

Re: OH ****, My virus scan just went off.

Just to be safe, use a recommended anti-virus. I personally use Malwarebytes for some of this. I'm sure Malwarebytes has been suggested by white-hats more than something like AVG/Avast/Avira. There is also SuperAntiSpyware which is good to run alongside Malwarebytes, Norton, Avast etc.

So yes, if this virus is deadly and you see any suspicious activity, I'd seek professional help.

· Malwarebytes detection rates are amazing.
· Malwarebytes will commonly find start-up harms.
· SuperAntiSpyware will find other categorize harms that you may have missed.

Malwarebytes is almost perfect for removing the most dangerous threats. If you're going to start using Malwarebytes, use Norton or SAS alongside it.
