Antivirus troubles.

I have a few (or more than a few) viruses currently. It is making my computer very hard to use. It doesn't let me open up programs like paint, or my computer.


I run Avira, but it gets to ~80%, and freezes.

I downloaded the setup for NOD32 on advice from a friend. I clicked the setup icon, and it will not run. Can anyone help?

 

try the Eset Online Scanner first
http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/
what os?
if vista try run as administator on left click

 

I tried and got this:

I'm using FF, if that makes a difference. Should I try it with IE?

 

Use IE or IE Tab addon for firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/1419 get the version from 28 may the latest dont work with Firefox 2.0
hint: install ie tab, restart firefox, open http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/scanner.php?i_agree=14 in firefox and left click and "view page in ie Tab"

 

IE kept crashing when I opened it, and using an IE tab made me have to reboot.

 

try run in safemode with networking
reboot then press F8 before windows startup screen

 

well, need to be more protect as with nod32 in the future and/or change your surf habit !!

networking in safe mode ? Not sure it works, never heard about that

run Avira in safe mode may work

or burn the Ultimate Boot CD, boot with it, and run AV on it, good luck

install new os then scan with EAV v3

 

Running Eset Online Scanner i SafeMode with Networking in IE works fine, i have tested on XP

if nothing else works take backup of the my documents like rar them using WinRAR, then reinstall windows, then install NOD32
