Hi guys,
I have been using my laptop for ages with no problem, but recently I've been virus ridden. I'm using Win XP with IE7 and Office XP that are all up to date in terms of patches etc. I'm using Avast anti-virus, aShampoo firewall and Ad-Aware and have been for years. But now every time I start up my laptop, I get trojans found in my Local Settings/Temp folders and everytime I'm on the internet, popups appear that keep showing OK and Cancel buttons for system scanner programs that Avast says are Adware. They aren't connected to any website in particular because they appear no matter what pages I'm viewing! What annoys me the most is that when I run a Avast scan to get rid of all these files, Avast finds them and moves them to the vault, but they're all back when I reboot the damn laptop!! THEY JUST WON'T GO AWAY! HEEEEEELP!
