    Goto CONTROL PANEL then WINDOWS FIREWALL to turn it on if its not already
    Avira is free and doesnt have a firewall. If you wish to pay for one put Avira on for now and buy Kaspersky suite (Firewall etc)

    FIX this ~

    Personally id advise alternating weekly scans with Malwarebytes, Superantispyware and Spybot

    Download SUPERANTISPYWARE (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
    UPDATE and PERFORM COMPLETE SCAN


    Download SPYBOT (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION' ~ make sure TEA TIMER is UNTICKED on installation)
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/
    UPDATE and IMMUNISE (Make sure it reads ZERO unprotected) and SCAN


    Also ~ especially as you use online banking. Id advise using FIREFOX with the NOSCRIPT plugin

    Download FIREFOX
    http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

    NOSCRIPT
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722


    NOSCRIPT works by blocking ALL website scripts (Which is how dodgy websites infect your computer ~ the easiest way to catch a virus after downloading). So you need to UNLOCK all websites you use for them to work properly (Like this one for example)
    It also prevents 'page hijacking' (clicking to goto a BANK page for example and being redirected to a BOGUS page which would give scammers your login details!)
    I personally set it so that it DOESNT show messages about blocked scripts. Then all you need to do is use common sense. Think to yourself 'does the site work ok'? If so it doesnt need touching. But if you wanted to watch a video on youtube say, youd need to unlock parts of it. Look bottom right, If theres ANY red on the 'S' symbol, then something is being blocked.

    (You will also need the other addons like FLASH etc)

    If you buy Kaspersky it SHOULD protect you

    Personally id still use firefox with noscript and Malwarebytes to scan. But thats me
    :idea:
  • Got a Tosh laptop myself and you don't need these startup items:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SmoothView] %ProgramFiles%\Toshiba\SmoothView\SmoothView.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [topi] C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Toshiba Online Product Information\topi.exe -startup

    I'd also get rid of this service.

    O23 - Service: Google Updater Service (gusvc) - Google - C:\Program Files\Google\Common\Google Updater\GoogleUpdaterService.exe

    Is it any faster yet?

    Kaspinsky arrived, and trying to download .. but it wont do.. as it can still smell agv 8 and wont do unless i remove it.
    have tried agv remover 32 bit too many times but no chance..
    i remember before when i was worwarded the agv 32 bit remover.. when i clicked , it asked me which agv i got - didnt know so clicked one..
    but now that i know i got agv8 , it doesnt give me that option..

    reinstall AVG
    Then shut it down (Stop it from scanning)
    Then uninstall
    Then run the removal tool
