Jcoventry   10 #14 Posted September 12, 2011 It's fair enough saying "do it yourself" but you have to keep in mind that not everyone is comfortable with doing it themselves. There are plenty of free programs you can use, but without knowing what you're actually removing, you can never be sure that all the infections are gone just by running a scan with Malwarebytes. It's not that simple. There are often other issues that cannot be solved by a simple scan with a free program, such as a modified hosts file or altered proxy settings. There's also plenty of infections which cannot even be removed by free programs, they have to removed manually instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

walkerx   10 #16 Posted September 12, 2011 Though he obviously can, as if he didn't have alternative internet access, he wouldn't have been able to start the thread.  might have used his 3G mobile to post the thread and thus not be able to download any programs to his phone and port them to his pc..

Paul Blade   10 #19 Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) I, along with half the people posting to this thread are self-employed PC repair people - and I doubt any of them would charge £70 for virus removal (I certainly don't, and I am mobile, I come to your house)  Seems like no one wants our help m8y lol I charge fuel and if they are happy with the service if they want to give me more I won't refuse it for the first visit then charge more reasonable after that Edited September 12, 2011 by Paul Blade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
