im about to uninstall my IE (not to worry!!! I have NS7!!!!!!!!!! & Opera 7 - which rokzzzzzz alotzzz)


but I would like to find a decent scanning site to check for any other crap on my PC.


I had a pop up about 30 minutes ago say "Doom Virus detected"

I just hit the X...to close it. I did not hit OK or Cancel (NOT THAT DUMB!)


Im sure its a pop up, (it had "Internet Explorer" on the tool bar - pretty good indicator?) but I want to check...to make sure.


Thanx,


T from Tennessee

You can use the links in my signature to do a virus scan, but you may want to do spyware scans with Spybot and AdAware also. Update them first. Fix the items marked with a red check in Spybot and all problem items noted by AdAware. Then I suggest running a HijackThis log and posting it here.... To run HJT, extract it to a permanent folder such as C:\Documents or one you create like C:\HJT. Close all programs you have opened and make sure that all programs are enabled if you use msconfig. Run it and Scan, then Save the log. When the log window appears, Right click to Copy it, open your browser and come here to Paste the log. Do not make any changes until it is checked since most items are either benign or essential to the computer.
