I have HP laptop and I use vista, I have installed and run avast anti virus and also have my hp total care adviser which tells me that my firewall is running and my internet protection is working, however it warns me that I have no anitvirus software? does it just want me to download norton or something? or is my computer at risk? also …I was browsing the internet and something came up, my page changed to look like ‘my computer’ area showing my folders as it would if I were in ‘my computer’, it told me it was an online scanner or protection and that I had malware and prompted me to download this personal protection thing and delete something called trojan, it was also showing red flashing writing underneath my folders saying 145 (or whatever the number) trojans found! ..I downloaded that and went along with it…now Im so confused and wondering if I installed something I shouldn’t have? if it was legit? also wondering how I would scan my computer completely to ensure its free of malware and viruses and stuff that can mess up my computer…I know this is a long winded question but Im not a computer expert or anywhere close and I want to make sure its free of all that stuf
