| Post subject: | Spyware and Profiles |
I use two profiles on my computer. Recently, I had a problem with spyware on one of them. I did the cleaning out and everything but it continues to show up. In fact, after the last sweep, it said there was nothing to get rid of. Anyway, I went over to my over profile and that works fine. On the first profile, I couldn't use the Internet or even see my task manager. A real bummer. Anyway, how do I fix this and how is it possible for the two profiles not to be affected at the same time? |

It's very common for a profile to be affected but not another. It sounds like that's what happened unless it's a problem with Windows itself. There is no real answer to this since every case is different. If the virus scan software you're using isn't catching it, then I would try something else to see if catches it. Also make sure your virus definitions DB is updated as it could be something new the app is missing. |

O, it's common. I'll work on using the scan software a couple of times first. Maybe try another one. My subscription is up in 30 days or so anyway. How do I find out about this DB thing? |

Yeah, I have Malwarebytes but before I used it I did a couple more scands with another antivirus software and all was well. Anyway, it seemed odd to me that it would distinguish between the two profiles. |
