    Virus/spyware help.

    -My uncle has started living with us, and has been using our computer for the past few days.... He fucked everything up.

    -He does online dating and i checked the history and thers a ton of fucking dating sites and stuff so it has to be from that.

    Now random ads and pages will open up in mozilla, AVG is freaking out saying threat detected every 5 minutes...and the computer is veryyyy slow.

    How do i find out what is wrong if dont know what he downloaded or anything? I am running an AVG computer scan but is that good enough? wtf do i do............... =/

    You should teach him how to use a computer so he doesn't download any more porn-viruses :p . The AVG scan probably won't pick up everything, so here's what I suggest in addition:

    Spybot S&D - Download, install, update, run full scan.

    HouseCall - after the AVG scan use this web-based scanner.

    If you want to block some sites so you uncle cant get on that might prevent future happenings.

    Also turn your internet security and antivirus to "HIGH"

    This has helped remove some viruses from my computer when others could not. http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

    If you are open with you uncle tell him not to click popups because they are usually viruses. Tell him to stick to websites and to not click the adverts.
