beginner question about a link and browser
« on: February 05, 2012, 08:35:48 PM »


hi all, i have a question this link is harmfull it has a virus in it or a virus in my computer wants to connect to it: http://runonce.msn.com/runonce3.aspx

- Why does avast "web rep" show that this site is safe to browse.. when it ISN'T..

and i have a problem my computer was or is still infected with the virus worm/trajon:sality
the symtoms are: CPU SPEED increases 100% "EVERY TIME i start a web browser" like firefox or chrome (because this virus sends spam or something from my pc , my pc is a zombie sending tons of spamm, i think..) and i dont have any other program started as this begins,nothing just my firefox browser ..

-why cant i stop this .. the CPU SPEED ..

i have avast free edition (home)
i have a windows xp pc ,1 gb of ram , 2.8 gh proccessor..

thnx in advance (and sorry for my bad english ..)
and please dont tell me you cant help me with this ,i mean its your JOB to stop the evil guys.  :-[

the site is safe, nothing to do with your computer infection.
