I have a problem and I am not sure what to do.

I have AVG on my laptop but I still seem to have picked up some some kind of virus or spyware.

I seem to have a new antivirus called anti-malware.

It keeps telling me I'm under attack from some address or other and that I need to pay $79.99 to protect myself.

Is this true and how has it happened if I have AVG already?

Hi Friend,
The basic premise is that malware can be very good at defending itself, so the best way to remove it, is not to let it run in the first place. You can do this by booting an infected machine from a CD and running an operating system off the CD that treats the C disk as a data disk. You can then run anti-malware software either from the bootable CD (I like The Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) or from another machine on the network.

Thanks,
James
