And I don't know why? It pops up every now and then so I just close it?

Its popping up less frequently now but still pops. I'm hoping it'll go away?

Has this happened to you?
How'd you get rid of it?
I use mozilla firefox
I have Norton Anti-Virus, and I ran a scan, it said it was good.
Plus the Avg thing popped up like twice but I dont want to download anything (more viruses)
Thanks, but do you know where I can find the firefox add on adblocker
Because now ads are popping up sometimes too



Answer
it's a virus of some kind.
1) scan with avg free 8.0, download it from download.com
2) try spybot s&d too, scan with both.
3) stop using internet explorer, get mozilla firefox - compared to firefox, explorer is a waste of space, unless you ENJOY a browser with security flaws.
4) get the add-on for firefox called "ad block plus", it stop all ads from loading when you're browsing.

a.d. edit - good, nearly 70% of people still use IE, so i was just making sure. don't trust things that pop up, they're designed to confuse you by imitating virus scanners making you click. if your browser will let you go to different sites, go here: http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html, download, install, update, run a full scan. i think norton is a waste of resources. it didn't work this time anyway. then run spybot s&d, maybe reinstall firefox too. main thing is to be careful what you're doing - never trust pop ups and stay away from dodgy sites.

is it really better than kaspersky?




cyrax_07


is nod32 really better thaN kaspersky? others say yes others not..im confused...

i need explanation pls... because i ran a full scan computer with kaspersky it didnt detect anything while nod32 detected a virus..



Answer
Nod32/kaspersky both r my fav.

but kaspersky is damn slow...

but nod32 is ultra fast, no more slow down system,

nod32 work nice with 3D games....

so no more slowdown games

and price...

Nod 32......$39.00 for one year and I can't seem to find the cost of a renewal fee..

Kaspersky...$39.95

This is simply a software vendor using available tests to show their product in the best possible light.

1. NOD probably has the best heuristics of any AV at the present time BUT it needs this as it is slower than a number of vendors in adding new malware to their database, particularly if it is slow-spreading.

2. It is a very fast scanner but not the fastest. Again they have reported its performance against SELECTED rivals. Command AV and F-Prot, for example, IME, are faster on-demand scanners than NOD.

3. Again the RAM footprint figures are again selective. Command, F-Prot, Dr Web and KAV 6 all have lower memory footprints than NOD.

4. ITW detection over at VirusBulletin does not show the true picture as you can fail the test with false positives and yet still pass the test even if you do not score 100% detection!!! However, NOD is very good at ITW threats.

It is better to look at a range of testing sites to get an overall picture.

NOD is a very good AV and it has shown hugh improvements in its detection rate in the last 12-18 months and version 3 is on the way.

But it has deliberately chosen to give high priority to the tests over at VirusBulletin and recently av-comparatives so it can use the results over on its main site and in its Advertisements in the Computer Press. Compared to other vendors, they make sure they are prepared for ITW testing for VirusBulletin as the samples are known prior to testing. Moreover, they make sure that they add the MISSED zoo malware samples from any av-comparatives test to their database. Some vendors however, such as Dr Web, are very slow to add these missed samples and therefore they would not use this test on their web-site!

Overall this is very good PR by Eset.

ALL AV vendors obviously use any information in the best way to highlight the main reasons why you should choose their product. After all they are commercial vendors!!!!!!

I have been a licensed user of both NOD and KAV for many years and both will give you good protection.

But do not expect a balanced viewpoint on a KAV forum. But then again I would not expect a fair discussion if KAV was discussed on the NOD forum at Wilders.
