The other day on my antique pc I noticed a programme had installed itself on my desktop called "naq" I googled it and couldnt find any information on it at all. I got rid of it and low and behold its back again this morning. I have now installed Spybot Search and Destroy and its gone again . How long for I dont know. Any ideas will be greatfully recieved

Cheers Chunky

I'm not too good on this sort of thing...but i might be able to offer a bit of help...

Is it only on the desktop or is it also in your computers program files?

If its in the program files, firstly uninstall it from there, and then delete it. If its on the desktop I can be of less help...

sounds like you have been downloading pornography, and installed something onto your pc as part of the download process.

apparently this happens a lot

try going into your computers control pannel,
start - control pnnel - add/remove software - find it in the list and delete

Its not on the add/remove panels only on the desk top. My mistake people it was " NAX" not NAQ

If its not on the add/remove programs list, it sounds like it could be a trojan horse virus that has tried to install itself on the hard drive.

Try deleting the item, send it to the recycle bin, and delete it from there.

Restart the computer and if the icon is still on your desk top, you definitely have a Trojan Horse Virus.

Simple to fix though, just go to

http://free.grisoft.com/

and download the free edition of AVG Anti-Virus. Install it . Shut down PC.
Restart PC, and run the program.

Takes between 5 and 10 minutes to scan your PC.

If it says THREAT DETECTED, click, HEAL.

If it says CANNOT HEAL etc, click, SEND TO VIRUS VAULT.

That should do it

You spend last weekend in Amsterdam sleeping with hookers and here you are worried about a computer virus

You should be more worried about knob rot Chunky my old mate

Hey, there is nothing wrong to preferring lesbian porn to heterosexual porn

Can anyone help with this, I hope you can

For the past few days my PC has become painfully, agonisingly slow and I can't get to the bottom of it

It just grinds away and takes ages to perform the most basic tasks. When writing this it is missing out letters in words and is taking forever

I checked for virus and worms but I confess am no expert, anyone any ideas
