So my dad put this software on my computer and tells me to scan every week. I do and nothing serious comes up (I think...) but I do get these warnings that I can't get rid of.

It says malware...? haha! what is that??

Gosh, I hate computers when it comes to this!

What can I do to get rid of those? The normal scan wont get rid of them!!!! I posted in a thread before but I didn't get a response. Someone please help me, I dont want to mess up my computer or something.

Ok, here you go....

Firstly -


Malware, a portmanteau from the words malicious and software, is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent. The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code.[1] The term "computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware, including true viruses.


To get rid of it, and other issues, go here...
