Hi josetto,
I will reinstall it
That is a wise choice.
Here are some ideas that will help you keep clean in the future.
The antivirus program you have been using is rather old and outdated.
Because new viruses regularly emerge, anti-virus software should be updated frequently. Anti-virus software can scan the computer memory and disk drives for malicious code. They can alert the user if a virus is present, and will clean, delete (or quarantine) infected files or directories.
Please download a free anti-virus software from one these excellent vendors :
1) Antivir PersonalEdition Classic- Free anti-virus software for Windows. Free support.
2) avast! 4 Home Edition - Anti-virus program for Windows. The home edition is freeware for noncommercial users.
3) AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition - Free edition of the AVG anti-virus program for Windows.
You should run only one antivirus program at a time. Having more than one antivirus program active in memory uses additional resources and results in program conflicts and false virus alerts.Update your AntiVirus Software and keep your other programs up-to-dateIt is
