I have Norton which should protect me shouldnt it?

 

Only thing I have recently downloaded and use is utorrent.

if you are getting lots of popups then its riddled with spyware im afraid, look for a spyware removal program online, norton will not always remove these im afraid

I ran a scan with norton and its not saying anythng is wrong at all

 

Which good spyware program is there because last time i had this and started downloading spyware programs i ended up with loads of rubbish on my laptop and still the original problem!!! Why is Norton not stopping it!!

Torrents are an easy way to spread viruses, spyware etc.

You can PM me your entire HJT log and i'll take a look. It's been a while though and analysing a HJT log can take time so you'll have to be patient

 

I'd ask for this thread merging with your other one as well or people will be replying to both.

If the only protection is "Norton" can I suggest you download

Superantispyware here:

 

http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html?tag=mncol&cdlPid=10881361

 

Once downloaded, install the program, open the program, check for any new updates (there will probably be some), then do a full scan of your PC, depending on what you have on your PC will determine how long it takes to scan.

 

Once scanned follow instructions regarding any problems it finds!

 

I'm sending you a PM

If you have attempted what previous contributors have suggested and had no success you might try this.

 

http://www.download.com offers lots of free software. I would try either Avast or Spybot search and destroy as either of these might solve your problem.

 

http://www.trendmicro.com offers it's Housecall free which will provide you an online scan. Depending on your connection it might take some time and is worth running periodically anyway.

 

Best of luck
