Shitload of Viruses and Spyware found in my PC
While reading the N & R Archives in this site, about 10 AVG Messages popped up on my screen consecutively. Then tons of ads popped up and even some programs were installed. I did a scan with AVG and move the items that it can't fix to the Virus Vault. Yet I am still getting AVG messages about a Trojan Horse Downloader found in C://WINDOWS/System32. Scans aren't geting rid of it so any ideas on what I should do?

EDIT-- I found out at PandaScan that it was a Downloader.GK meaning I'm pretty much screwed. My 2nd reformat in 2 days . The punishment for ppl who put these programs out should be to get their hands chopped off. It's high time we bring back the code of Hammurabi.

Invest in Mcafee antivirus. It's worth the purchase. And get adaware while you're at it.

www.mcafee.com for McAfee.
www.lavasoft.de for adaware.

Format and take more precaution, like Anti-Virus, Adaware, Firewall etc.

Hollywood Red does not have that much rep yet (10+)
Get Mozilla Firefox as well... I get so much shit just by going on sites with wonky hosts/ad supporters... especially wrestling N&R sites.

Firefox seems to block it all.
