Computer buffs - help!
 
Oh wise ones please enlighten thy thicko!
My laptop got a virus after my daughter clicked yes on some popup. I took it to a computer guy who removed the virus and said the computer had been cloned. Took it home thinking it was all fixed but I've noticed that when I'm on the internet there is always one of the 2 little monitor screens showing blue. Downloaded 35mb of video clips which was a bit slow so when I checked the staus noticed that I had downloaded 26mb but sent 23mb. Surely I should just have downloaded and not sent anything?
Do you reckon someone could still be monitoring my laptop. :wonder:

what antivirus software you using? Is it up to date? Have you downloaded critical patches from windows update? Have you run ad aware and spybot on it? Should you really be using a computer? Why dont you post in computer related? which operating system is it? If its not any of the Win95 family, why dont you lock down the permissions? Are you running a firewall? Have you been surfing porn again? WHY?!
