It looks like you have installed Avast Anti Virus which is good software. However you should uninstall the Norton software since you now have Avast.

Note: You should run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and results in program conflicts and false virus alerts.


Out of date Adobe Reader and Java installations pose a security risk. They can be used by malware as a means to infect a computer and or re-infect. Your Java is fully up to date but Adobe Reader is outdated.


Uninstall misc programs

  • Click on Start.
  • All programs.
  • Accessories.
  • Run.
  • In the open text box copy/paste appwiz.cpl Then click Ok.
  • Wait for the list of programs in the Add/Remove control panel to appear, then uninstall the two programs listed below:

    Adobe Reader 7.0

    Norton Internet Security

    Norton Internet Security (Symantec Corporation)

    Norton AntiVirus

    Norton Confidential Browser Component

    Norton Confidential Web Protection Component

    Norton Protection Center

    LiveUpdate 3.2 (Symantec Corporation)


If any of the uninstallers ask for a reboot, then do so immediately. After the reboot open the Add/remove control panel again to continue.


When finished uninstalling the Norton programs, please download and run the Norton removal tool. Follow the prompts and instructions, reboot when asked. You can run this tool if any uninstalls above failed.


Is Windows fully updated through Windows Update now?

Hi.

    • Let me know.
    • Do not follow any further instructions until I tell you to.

Used the registry fix, never was prompted to merge however.
Ok, my mistake. The fix was successful.


Delete the following files

Please delete the following files on your desktop:

dds.com
export.txt
look.bat
fix.reg



Adobe

Download and install the latest Adobe Flash Player from the following link: Adobe Flash Player

Adobe Reader is a large program. If you prefer a smaller program you can get Foxit 4.3 instead from http://cdn01.foxitsoftware.com/pub/foxit/reader/desktop/win/4.x/4.3/enu/FoxitReader431_enu_Setup.exe

If you decide to install Foxit 4.3, do the following during Foxit's Setup/Installation process:

Uncheck the following boxes and click Decline to avoid installation of The Foxit Search Bar powered by Ask:
  • I accept the License Terms and want to install Foxit Toolbar
  • Make Ask.com my default search


Windows updates

Choose your desired settings:

Click Start (Vista orbiter) -> Control Panel -> Security -> Windows Update -> Change Settings
  1. Select Install updates automatically (recommended) radio button if you want the updates to be downloaded and installed without prompting you.
  2. Select Download updates but let me choose whether to install them radio button if you want the updates to be downloaded automatically but to be installed at another time.
  3. Select Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them radio button if you want to be notified of the updates.
Click OK to save any changes.


Keep your non-Microsoft applications updated as well

Microsoft isn't the only company whose products can contain security vulnerabilities, to check for other vulnerable programs running on your PC that are in need of an update, you can use the Secunia Software Inspector - I suggest that you run it and install the suggested updates at least once a week.



Consider using the following to secure your computer further

  • Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    Install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update and perform a quick scan 1-2 times a week. Download from the following link: Malwarebytes Anti Malware

  • Make use of the HOSTS file included with Spybot Search & Destroy
    Every version of windows includes a hosts file as part of them. A hosts file is a bit like a phone book, it points to the actual numeric address (i.e. the IP address) from the human friendly name of a website. This feature can be used to block malicious websites
    Spybot Search & Destroy has a good HOSTS file built in, to enable the HOSTS file in Spybot Search & Destroy.
    • Run Spybot Search & Destroy.
    • Click on Mode, and then place a tick next to Advanced mode.
    • Click Yes.
    • In the left hand pane of Spybot Search & Destroy, click on Tools, and then on Hosts File.
    • Click on Add Spybot-S&D hosts list.

    Note: On some PCs, having a custom HOSTS file installed can cause a significant slowdown. Following these instructions should resolve the issue:
    • Click Start > Run
    • Type services.msc & click OK
    • In the list, find the service called DNS Client & double click on it.
    • On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
    • Click OK & then close the Services window.

    For a more detailed explanation of the HOSTS file, click here.

  • Use an alternative to Internet Explorer
    Many of the exploits are directed to users of Internet Explorer. Try using a different browser instead. I can recommend Firefox with the NoScript addon to avoid malicious scripting attacks.



It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to keep Windows, Java, Adobe and all of your security programs up to date.
