Hi folks

I am experiencing some virus problems with my computer, I have ran Norton and Windows defender and it doesnt seem to pick up the virus.
When i downloaded the free version of SpyBot it picked it up straight away, but does not remove the virus, this is probably because it is free!

The name of the three viruses i have are;

1. WIN32.Agent.xg
2. WIN32.Renos
3. WIN32.Agent.gvu

With this virus also, i am experiencing pop-ups loading to www.theionlybooktheory.com and www.safe-strip.com and www.adultfriendfinder.com and then going to google which is my home page.

I am not to sure that this is the right area within the website to be at, but if anyone can help me, this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The sites that pop-ups are due caused by malware that will pop-up and change your default home pages to adult content, poker, games, and travel. Spybot-SD is a free software and it does not restrict removal of any trojans/malware found.

From my results, unfortuneately, you have two malware and trojan entries on your PC.
