Doctor Antivirus 2008
Please help this old, stupid person!! I am currently living in Egypt. My laptop is 'protected' by 'NOD' and Microsoft. However, I am being plagued with the above, Dr Antivirus. I have no idea how it got there as never open e-mails which appear in Spam, or open dodgy sites. but, I am at a loss as to how to get rid of it. Not only does it slow my computer down,but now it seems to stall my typing and misses some of my texts.
Thank you. I hope someone can give me some advice.
