Avast anti-virus

[Snowfire]

I think it important to say that you should only run one anti-virus on your pc at any time. Two anti spyware programmes are ok but anti-virus programmes conflict

Your running VISTA you have to give it permission to download. If your aren't an administrator on your machine you will never be able to allow anything or give permissions to software of anykind.

I you have popup blockers installed you need to turn it off to download software. I don't know what your IT person does for you, but showing you how to do simple steps to complete processes would be to your advantage. My guess is you have all your security levels set over the top high. You can't function in that environment to many road blocks lower them.

Multiple antivirus software serves no purpose whatsoever they cause problems. You only need 1 antivirus software and 1 spam software nothing more. You need to have your browser security at medium to medium high level, turn off your browsers popup blocker or at minimum give it guideline on what to block or it will block every thing.

Malwarebytes.org is free for domestic use. Re: NORTON INTERNET SECURITY 2009 VS AVAST PROFESSIONAL VS Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware version 1.40 discusses the conflict between Norton and Malwarebytes' professional edition. All the references to using Malwarebytes in this and other threads on FG have been to the free domestic package which has no such conflicts. No combination of real-time scanners can be expected to work on a single machine. The free version of Malwarebytes has no real-time scanner, the commercial paid version does.

Norton can call it what they want. Trust me Nomie there isn't anyone in the business that I know that doesn't use MALWAREBYTES. You can call it what you want but when it comes to getting the trogan's, malware, and just plain ugly stuff that takes over your machine noting does it better that MALWAREBYTES, nothing. Your jump to the professional edition might be the problem you would have been just fine with the free version it does the job. I hope you get your money back. There may be away around the block by NORTON in your norton settings you can't run 2 spyware programs at the same time. It is the real time scanning that is the issue turn it off for MALWAREBYTES and run the scans manually yourself.

The programs to worry about are called scareware that prompt you to purchase or your machine will be infected with viruses. They install themselves on your PC with one intention only that is to get your money.
The five most commonly reported rogue security applications during the study were SpywareGuard 2008, AntiVirus 2008, AntiVirus 2009, Antivirus 2010, Spyware Secure and XP AntiVirus. Malwarebytes will remove them no problem just keep it update free version or the paid version not will protect you if you don't keep it updated.
