Some time ago I downloaded Winantivirus2004 but found it incompitible with
the antivirus already on my computer. Since uninstalling it I now get a
pop-up appearing on my screen when starting up telling me some files cannot
be accessed. For instance it will not allow me to edit my photos. I have
emailed Winantivirus at least 6 times but they do not answer. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

You're wasting your time trying to get in touch with them.

Here's one site I'm thinking of adding to my 'list':

I believe I've said this before, but people don't seem to be catching on, so
I'll say it again:

Winantivirus is not a legitimate antivirus. It's a scam, it's spyware, and it'll
*add* more crap to your system. See this link:

http://www.rubber-ducky.org/carolyns...=98380&t=98380

among many others at google, and you'll see that it's NOT something anyone wants
on their computer.

Download, update, and use:

AdAware SE Personal
Spybot Search & Destroy
SpywareBlaster

And also use the online scanner at:

http://makeashorterlink.com/?D2D1459EC

(All free)

to get rid of the debris left over from it, after you uninstall it.

...and whether or not it was a legitimate a-v program, you should never
be running more than one at a time.

That's debateable; no one anti-virus program is perfect and infallible, but
having more than one will improve your protection.

Don't have them all scanning everything at the same time though, or your
computer will be too busy to do anything else (which is 'secure', but not
useful). Instead, have one 'scanning' things as they come in, and use the
other(s) to scan the whole system periodically to catch things the 'main'
one might have missed.

Get Anti-spyware and adware detectors too. Or stop using Windows )

Forget about Aluria now that they have aligned with WhenU and Savenow, both
of which have been removed from their "lists". Do a Google on this issue.

I don't know what's more pathetic, Jack Abramoff's sleaze or Republican
paralysis in the face of it. Abramoff walks out of a D.C. courthouse in
his pseudo-Hasidic homburg, and all that leading Republicans can do is
promise to return his money and remind everyone that some Democrats are
involved in the scandal, too.

That's a great G.O.P. talking point: some Democrats are so sleazy, they
get involved with the likes of us.
