in Techie Stuff
Hi sorry im not a techie, so here is the problem in a nutshell...
i keep getting mega loads of virus;s, worms, trojans, nod something or other, wmsoft###.
AVG keeps picking them up and putting them in a vault for me to heal or delete, but they return.
Im running the dreaded AOL only because it was given to me as a present for a year, but use firefox as browser.
I cant always get online, if i can i cant open any pages, i have a laptop that isnt connected to the internet, and isnt used anymore, and im thinking of putting aol onto it rather than buy another comp.
any ideas?
thanks loops
PS if i dont respond immediately its prob because i cant get online, just hit lucky now... thanks
