Please don't tell me that you've got all these AntiVirus Programs running together!?



That'd be the motha of all conflicts!?



And please do try to tell us a bit more about how you're being attacked, won't you?



Right now we're in the dark as to what we may be facing. Is it a virus? A keylogger? ATrojan? A Trojan Horse? A Worm?



Without knowing the symptoms or the warnings you recieve and the behaviour of your comp, we can't guess what it is.



Please do provide details to help us help you?



Cheers.



PS,



God, if you were able to decipher what Cuite said, do let me know!

Some viruses and other malware will intentionally disable any anti virus and anti-spyware that is on your computer so the virus cannot be removed.



You will need to use an on-line scanner to detect and remove the pests.



Try both of the free on-line scanners here:



1. Scan for virus and remove (free online scan) with BitDefender

2. Scan for trojans and remove (free online scan) with Ewido
