Yes, you’ll probably be fine. Be careful opening email attachments and look out for websites forcing you to download things.

If you don’t want to buy new antivirus then google for AVG. There’s a free version available from their website.

I have a rouge spyware acting like anti virus software that I need to get rid of and can not delete it

Best answer:

Answer by Joshua
Restoring your system with a spyware is not recommended. Use superantispyware to remove the spyware. Next remove any trace from the registry, use CCleaner. The combination of the two programs should get rid of it. (I have successfully removed anti-virus 2009 using this progress).

Restoring the system will not get rid of the spyware, in fact it could cause more of a problem.

Answer by Smokies Hiker
It’s called a “trial” period for a reason. Anything beyond that is stealing and is illegal and dishonest! The reason they sell software is to make money! If you have a job and work for your paycheck…shouldn’t these people be entitled to a paycheck also? If you purchase their software products, they can continue to work on better software products to protect your computer in the future. If people continue to steal their software, they’ll soon stop the free trials for their software products.
