Way-up!... Shocked

...!

I just noticed that running Avira instantly found 3 hidden "Trojans" in my Computer that neither AVG, Spybot, or Malware could spot!... Shocked

...!

..so Avira is another one to add to my list of Virus/Trojan Spotters!

Paul... Cool

...!

Pablo run a system scan mode ,that's the best way to remove all of them ,trust me..

EDIT: Roll Eyes

It would made it faster if you'd have Windows 7 Lips Sealed

I have been using AVG and Malwarebytes for some time, as well as Spybot, but I am open to new as AVG is not perfect. Having said that, I always ask my son, Tech Support, Roll Eyes

before making a change of this importance.

BTW, I have finally convinced him to fly. I bought him a copy of FS9 and gave him my old joystick. Unfortunately, he is having computer problems and is very short on drive space, so he will have to go very, very slow. But I think he will become a member of SimV soon. Then he will become addicted. (where's the evil laugh smiley?) Roll Eyes

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

The only person I have ever seen take an interest in FS is my boss. Whenever he stops by we grab a couple beers and fire up my flight sim.

I man the keyboard commands for him and he has a blast.

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

Okay = well, I changed to the Microsoft Essentials Security = it is small and very fast and works neat. Better than the others I have tried as they were large and grew larger with every update. I think the comp runs smoother -but difficult to tell.
