Solve : My Infected PC Using Netscape?

Answer»

My Windows XP seems to be infected when I use Internet Explorer and Firefox. Just now, I tried using Netscape 7 and it seems to be OK. Except for a balloon in the lower corner saying "Windows Security alert" I am not getting pop=up blockers nor *censored* sites I was getting using IE or Firefox. Why is Netscape not infected? Strange. This is great.Either your pc is infected or it isn't. Using a different browser doesn't get rid of the viruses - it simply hasn't been EFFECTED yet because it's so outdated. The rest of your system is crawling with malware.

Look friend, you've had numerous threads on this forum asking for help with your virus infections and have received some great advice. To date it appears you are doing everything EXCEPT what you are being told to do. Please - either follow the instructions in the other thread(s) to post your hijack this log and take the other steps in the malware section of this forum or don't - but stop with these other nonsense threads.Thanks. I have tried whatever was told to me that I could however pop-ups are blocking certain operations I was ASKED to do so don't say I haven't tried. I scanned my PC using the mrt feature. I did that twice. The program scanned my PC twice and said that the PC had no infected files. It's true the PC came used but it was loaded with Avira antivira to keep-out infections as well as firewall, pop-up blocker and anti-pfishing filters. To be honest, the virus has SPREAD since I have done these operations. I am now getting *censored* sites without typing them in. My postings today were interrupted with *censored* sites appearing out-of-the-blue. You are very right, when I switched over to Netscape 7, the virus appeared to be cleaned-out but within a half-hour, *censored* sites started appearing there too. I might have to hire a professional since I am losing sleep. I guess I should buy an APPLE iMac; they told me they don't get viruses and don't crash. Thanks again for your understanding.
