Quickly send me your e-mail address, your phone number, your date of birth, your credit card number with expiration date and CVIS code, a copy of your drivers license and your checking account number. I should be able to take care of it from there.
Thanks...

I removed Norton and went with Trend Micro Maximum Security, hope that bug is not contagious.

I use trend as well but I gave norton instructions since that is what most have. I tried to find a removal tool for him but did not see one yet.

Avast just ran out on mine.... up in the air as to what to load. Stick with avast for $20 or try someone else.... Love me some computers but hate all of that part of it.
Nervous, how did you know you got it and what virus it was? Do you know where you got it?

My computer slowed way down and I could hear my hard drive going nuts!!
When I looked at the processes it showed "bing exe". I web searched it and it is called
VBS.Bing.Trojan per the search. I ran a couple of programs and it appears to be gone.
I also did a system restore 'back' a week. We'll see.

BTW, I was searching 'free' music download sites when I got it!
