Default I have like 100 Viruses!

Seriously, no kidding, Ash helped me out a little and if you guys remember, I posted on the Chat Box when the Ash re-did the site.

I am running Avast 4 (Free Version). I scanned my computer 3 times and also, Avast did a boot scan but they still come back. Running on Windows XP SP2. If you need any other info, just ask.

They are all Adware and some are trojans so every minute of so I get a "Caution,A Virus has been detected!"

Anyone knows how to stop this, really don't want to format my computer . . . Again

You could probably do with some antispyware software on there... try AVG Free Advisor - AVG Anti-Spyware Free Edition. It shouldn't conflict with Avast at all.

I have both avg anti-spyware and avast, and so far I have seen no signs of them conflicting. So you should be good.

Just echoing what these members have already said.,..

but go the anti-virus software route, even if you must purchase a CD or something, do it.
