Can anyone help me with an alemod virus that is on my computer?

[hellbound-liberal]

I called McAfee for online support but the technician quit on me half way through the operation. Thanks, Irk

2. Dump McAfee bloatware and download the free AntiVir

Free for home use and it auto updates! :)

3. I can't help, but I have a question about ZoneAlarm

for all the knowledgeable people reading this. :)

I like it, I use the Anti Virus function and I have never had a virus (in two years) yet some people have told me it's worthless. What is your opinion?

4. I use it also

and I have used others. I like it. I don't understand it all the time and have to spend time trying to learn what it is trying to tell me but I do like it. No viruses, no spyware.

5. Download ewido- free for two weeks.
