You probably got infected with a virus that's attacked your anti-virus program.  This happens a lot as I believe the Yahoo Online Protection uses Norton.  You can try uninstalling/re-installing the softwar to see if that works.\n\nA good anti-virus instead that works great, that protects my computer right now is avast! from ALWIL Software: http://avast.com .This program can be skinned to your own tastes, not a resource hog, easy to use interface, and a cool voice that tells you it updated or found something on your computer.  It's currently up for the SC Magazine (top security magazine) 2006 award for Best Anti-Virus.  The program is free too!!!\n\nHope all this helps... good luck.

Okay. the best thing to do is to follow the instructions and that should solve the problem. If you want a second scan performed on your computer use trend micros house call scan:\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\nfree scanner that will scan for viruses and spyware.

What did you use to get rid of that virus?  I have the same thing and my symantec is not working.  It keeps popping up.

Sounds like you don't have any antivirus program running in your system.  If you do, then the program failed you and you should remove.  As you can only run one antivirus program.  \n\nDownload this free state of the art antivirus program that I use.  Will resolve your problem.\n\nIn my spare time I test on my backup computer all antispyware/antivirus programs to see if the perform as claimed And especially to see which one have embedded trojans/adware either in their program or in the wizard installer used to guide you through the installation. \n\nWhat is rate as 1-2-3-4-5 is not always the best. Especially when you can find free programs that are light years ahead in technology over the purchased.\n\nIn my computer I use the following free programs.\n\nFor antivirus you can only use one or you will have serious conflict with your system. You can use three or four antispyware without any conflict.\n\nAvast in my opinion is the very best. Have used Avast for nine plus years and never had one virus. They are out of Prague.\n\nhttp://www.avast.com This program is free and has one of the very best background scanner that will catch any virus in real time and destroyed the virus before it can enter you system. \nUpdates auto., two or three times per day. They will ask you for your email address so they can send you a free key that is good for one year. After one year you only have to request a new key.\n\nBe sure to reboot after.\n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

Sounds like you have already been compromised. Try running scanner specifically targeting spyware while in safe mode.

1. Go to the virus scanner manufacturer's website and look for customer support.\n2. If your computer is that screwed up, I would wipe it clean and reinstall the operating system (after saving the important files on disk).

Your computer is infected with the virus!  I suggest you update and run your virus scan.  Make sure you disconnect your computer from the Internet before running the VirusScan!

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

Even though your particular virus scan did not pick anything up, your computer is still badly infected. No single one virus scanner can detect 100% of all viruses and other malware !00% or the time. \n\nI would suggest that you try both of these free on-line scans (no download needed)\n\n1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender\n\nhttp://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/\n\n2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\nGood luck.

Yup, me too.  I use avast! and I know they can stop it if they find it too.  I have automatic updates so I'm not worried.  A lot of hype about this virus/trojan, but really if you haven't updated your anti-virus, you deserve to get hit by this.  LOL.  Just kidding.  \n\nUpdate your ANTI-VIRUS!!!!

Turn off system restore before you run a full virus scan.  Your anti-virus program might also not be working, so visit the link in the source to do an online scan and then reinstall your anti-virus program (of get AVG from Grisoft, the second link).

close everything else out on the taskbar that you can  but first run antispy from yahoo and maybe the virus scanner  and clean the  disk and do a defrag a couple of times these things can get busy and lose their  processor power  but the other day i  watched a computer hard drive be eaten by a worm and some trojans it just lost all function as the hard drive was overwritten

try downloading Avast antivirus, or AVG antivirus, or Bitdefender antivirus. Why stop there, then try downloading Spybot Search and Destroy, Adaware by Lavasoft, & Microsoft Defender. Then if you want some real fun try downloading Hijackthis!

Okay, there are different possibilities as causes for this problem. It could be your monitor as mentioned above, It could also be that your motherboard is on its way out. I have this happen on my laptop twice in the past four months. If the cooling system on the motherr board goes out, it will shut off  or stop working if it starts to overrheat, the only problem is that by the time it shuts off, some damage has already been done to the mothe board. It could also be an unidentiified virus that AVG doesn't have a definition for yet and even if it does use heuristic technology to scan for unknown viruses, there are some that are elusive enough to be undetected even with a definition. and even if the virus scannerr does eventually pick it up, the virus will have already done more than enough damage, this happened on our computer. or it could be a virus that prevents anti-virus software from updatin, this has also happened on our computer.
