What's New about viruses?

Hmm., What's new about viruses? I mean, what they usually do to your pc? duplicate themselves? hide your files? block your internet? spam you? Well, I got confuse about this one KYE Conficker but I'm not pretty sure if that's the mother virus. I got this 3 months ago. I tried every antiviruses in the internet such as AVG, NORTON, KASPERSKY, MCAFE, AVAST, etc. but ESET SMart Security is the only one who stopped it. It seems that the virus is dead coz my computer seems to operate normal again, no hang ups, I can see hidden files anytime I want, no wierd files and folders. But I'm thinking maybe it's not dead coz the mother virus where the original location of the virus hasn't detected yet. I think it's just waiting for my personal firewall to be turned off.

Trojan viruses are popular these days. Once they are installed they let other bad guys in to do their thing. Download, install and run a quick scan with Malwarebytes. Run a full scan after the quick scan removes the initial problems.

You might want to consider using Microsoft Security Essentials as your default AV solution.

It's free (legit Windows needed) so you won't have to pirate any more AV software and risk getting piggy backed by Trojans.

Download Microsoft Security Essentials
Manual Update 32-bit
Manual Update 64-bit

On top of that, make sure Windows Firewall is turned on (don't believe the nerd rage, Windows Firewall is good enough for the average user) and your system has installed the latest updates.
