Well got a member of the family’s Laptop which is running Vista Ultimate only a few weeks old, it was given to me to fix as apparently it was dog slow and yes it is!! :eek: Major sluggish so I loaded up AVG and shock there was 12 Viruses in the Vault which weren’t healed, now UAC is enabled so is AVG how can I prevent this from happening as its bound to again, its taking me ages to sort this out :(

Well they seem to be games and silly internet tool bars that are causing the problems, I can safely say it’s not warez there defiantly not the type of people plus there are no signs of illegal content on the HDD, just seems to be about 5 different toolbars in IE :p I thought this wasn’t possible due to the sandbox thing and protected mode? About 7 seem to be located in the temp folder which I’ve now deleted just trying to sort the others out.
 
Thanks guys looks like I’ve managed to sort it out, it’s not worth the time & effort training them not to install anything that pops up as its will be like taking to a brick wall :D I just need to sort out software that will stop anything like this infecting the system, where they seemed to come from is silly little 3D games and internet toolbars, being an administrator is it wise for me to set a normal user account?
