The first time, a few months ago, the computer was unbootable and I had to recover the files and do a full install. Had a fake anti virus virus. Today it was the same, unable to boot even in safe mode. I was able to use the avira rescue disk to get it to boot. Had to do a manual update of avira free and the scan found trojans, spyware, etc. 98 detections in all. I managed to do a full system scan and dealt with all the threats. Is the computer safe now? The last time I did a system restore, I changed the used account from an administrator to user and installed avira free on there, but it got infected. What else can I do to keep the computer safe? Not sure what to try. I recommended going with kaspersky av instead. Not sure if it will help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
