I am running Avast Antivirus and have been for a while now but today my husband inadvertantly downloaded ‘Internet Security Essentials’ thinking he was being infected…and now of course I’m stuck with it…and Avast didnt pick it up??
Can someone plese please help me remove it?..I have downloaded a couple of ‘tools’ but once they scan the computer they ask for money and at this stage I am hoping there is a ‘free’ one somewhere?
This is a horrible virus and is driving me crazy!
Thank you…
Is it any of these ?
