+1 for AVG and Malwarebytes together. I run both. That virus that kidnaps your computer until you pay $300 ransom got mine before I had Malwarebytes. It was the only anti-virus software that could detect it and fix it in Safe Mode.

I pay for both on my primary computer mostly to ensure support, but the freeware versions of both have been fine on my ham-radio-only Win7 computer.

Get rid of the virus called Norton Anti-Virus. Install the free version of Avast or AVG. That'll do it, and protect you as well. Also use Malawarebytes.

PS: No pecuniary interest in Avast, AVG, or Norton. Norton is a problem for many, not a cure.

Norton labels almost all new programs as infected with the WS.Reputation virus, see here: http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/WS-Reputation-1-is-this-the-best-they-can-come-with/td-p/616601

There is a way around the auto-delete, but I can't remember how to do it at this point. Hopefully someone will chime in on how to do that.
