OK, the other day i looked at my desktop of my computer and now all my icons have little yellow outline around them. When ever i boot the computer it flashes a bright yellow screen before putting icons on and my normal background. I've run Adaware, Spybot, CCLeaner, Norton 360 on it and it's found stuff got rid of it all but my icons still have outline. anyone got any ideas.:Oops::Oops::Oops::Oops:

Ditch avg and use Computer Associates.

I had a Trojan sneak through the avg free on one of our computers. Never ever had even the slightest issue with Computer Associates. Absolutely the best in my opinion.

Norton (non-commercial) and Mcafee are both garbage.

I have never used the paid version of avg. I'm comparing avg free to Computer Associates paid subscription. avg is good - don't get me wrong. BUT Computer Associates IS better. This is my experience and the recommendation of a local programmer and network specialist who does large corporations. You get security codes for up to three computers per purchase I believe.

Both Avg free and CA are waaaayyyyyyy better than mcfarce and Nortons. Run away as fast as you can from those two.

Avg free did find the trojan after it had gotten in somehow...it did a pretty decent job of cleaning but there are still traces. I also don't use this particular computer except once in a while - others at the shop use it all the time so who knows where they were and how they picked this thing up. I should get around to loading CA on that computer one of these days and we'll see what it does.
