    Just make sure you have "System Restore" switched on.

    If you get one of these things, log off/switch off immediately.
    Boot windows in Safe Mode by pressing F8 before the Windows loading screen appears.
    Then go to System Restore and restore your system to an earlier point in time.

    This will fix everything 90+% of the time.

    Sometimes this type of malware will change settings in your system registry which will hide or lock some of your folders in which case post the problem here and I (or someone else) will point you to a fix.

    Ok what you guys have to understand is that any viruses or security threats that may be on First Row Sports will not be found on the site itself, only the ads they host. Why you guys are not using Firefox with adblock plus + noscript or Chrome with adblock plus, I will never understand.

    My CC company actually sent me a new CC in the mail like two weeks after. I think now I know why. Also I just downloaded ARO security (free trial) it has found over 2474 issues after I ran a "clean up".

    Is that normal?

    Yes because ARO is also a "registry cleaner".
    In my experience, these programs do more harm than good.

    The only anti-malware software I have on my machines are Microsoft Security Essentials (free) and Malware Bytes. The most important thing is to exercise some caution when browsing

    I would not buy avira. I use microsoft security essentials it works better than avria, and it is free from microsoft. Not some free trial from a software company that wants you to buy a better version of it.

    Hey guys, New here-sorry to bring up an old post. My two cents-I've been using FirstRow for about a year with just AVG (the free one) and Spybot S&D with Firefox. I've had no problems. I HATE those pop ups though. But after reading other FF user posts I installed adblocker plus-flashblock and noscript. Maybe tonight's games with be click and curse free!! Thanx!!

    I hate first row sports...battling all the pop ups, and all the buffering makes it unwatchable...I'm done with them.

    I never have to deal with viruses because I use Linux, but visiting streaming sites like first row, my network gets DoS attacked, If anyone knows what to add to the IPTABLES conf file to get rid of these DoS attacks, let me know.
