-=PCTechTalk=- Re: computer virus problems

Thanks Gman,

I did not think you had real time  anyway unless it was a paid version?  I 
ran a quick scan of malwarebytes and it found two things, security disabled? 
I took pictures of my screen as it lead me to my registry.  I am not sure 
what that is though as my antivirus and firewall are working fine it seems 
(I use my schools' symantic corp) and free zone alarm.

Christy
