pit Posted July 8, 2013 Author ID:700413 Share Posted July 8, 2013 thank u very much dfb! i will try all of these programs as soon as possible. I've already installed mozilla whit wot, adblock plus and webutation addons (i think i will install also comodo dragon)So do u think it could be safe to download avast free and use it to scan my external hard drives? I don't think they're onfected but i prefer to be sure.do u know any good program to do a checksum of the download? it happens every day to download software with "unknown" author, and learn to do checksum could be very useful i think. very complete and helpful!

D-FRED-BROWN Posted July 8, 2013 ID:700415 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I personally use Avast Free edition + Malwarebytes Pro. Both of them are great programs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably detected the outdated version of Java you had on your computer- getting rid of that (and only having the latest one) should fix that issue.
