Re: SeanL- just started using this computer again wanted to makesure it was malware f

Hello and welcome to TSF.

Please note that AVG 7 was already updated to version 7.5 which will only be supported until December 31, 2008. AVG has combined AVG Free antivirus and the Anti Spyware into one application, i.e. AVG8.

=================================

While both Tea timer and SpyBot are closed
Right click here and click save link as
Save it as resetteatimer.bat to your desktop

1) Run Spybot-S&D
2) Go to the Mode menu, and make sure "Advanced Mode" is selected
3) On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
4) Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts
5) Restart your computer.

Double click on resetteatimer.bat and wait for it to finish
Since it will not be needed again delete ResetTeaTimer.bat.
Turn Tea timer back on again via SpyBots tools resident page when your computer is clean.

Note: If teatimer gives you a warning afterwards that some changes were made, allow this instead of blocking it.

=============================
