Today I noticed when my my kids are done playing on my computer that my
Norton Anti Virus is disable. Can not enable it so I reboot the system. I
realize that during the reboot once the Window XP up my Norton Antivirus get
disable for about 5 sec and then then it become enable. Now I am seaing lot
of pop ads. I thinks my kids click yes to some thing and got some spyware
installed on my computer.
Can some some recommend what to do or what software to use to clean up my
computer. There are so many choices but I don't know which one is a good
product to clean up spyware or adware. Thanks
