Firstly , with all the members it seems to be the same ones post on the site .... what are all you others doing ?? Nuff of that , my problem is that Norton has told me I have 2 of the above viruses , are they dangerous and have you regulars any suggestions on how I get rid of them .... I have Avast , and Norton does a free scan 3 times a week , I know the best way is to pay but that is not in my budget .... thanks in advance

Hi pooky :)

You can try & run the free version of Avira Anti Virus, which i have ( very good )
http://www.free-av.com/
Scan through & if it picks up anything get rid of it.
Then shut down Avira, not good to have 2 anti viruses running together.
When your Norton runs out, consider switching ;)
Its free & less problematic than Norton :roll:
Hope that helps :D

Cheers Sav :)
