Hello all!
Help me, Tech-Forums...you're my only hope! I've been running Win 98 and Norton 2003 on my home PC for years now. My machine got a virus the other night that Norton didn't detect for some reason. Being the very un-tech-savvy person that I am, I stumbled across stop-sign.com and got a free scan from them. It seemed to fix the problems so I downloaded their software. Now my computer would only load Windows in Safe Mode! So I reinstalled Windows. Then I reinstalled the eAcceleration software again (from stop-sign.com). My computer got infected AGAIN! I tried re-installing Norton 2003 but of course, Windows will now only boot-up in safe mode. I'm so friggin lost.
#1. Was I a dope for the stop-sign.com/eAcceleration stuff? I have now read something online that they are actually spyware themselves..??
#2. Where do I go from here? Any recommendations for this rookie on the ideal anti-virus/anti-spyware products? Obviously, Norton 2003 isn't getting the job done and who knows what this eAcceleration stuff is all about.
I am open to ANY suggestions.
Thanks a million!!
