Installing Anti-Virus Programs Problem
Hello,
Thanks for all the previous help.
Greatly appreciated.
I was infected by this CTB Blocker trojan, but have re-installed most everything from backups.
Am very afraid of it happening again, obviously.
Even though Avast did not stop it, I thought it would be a good idea to re-install it anyway.
Also thought I'd install avira.
Both apparently downloaded to the desktop fine, but would not install.
Avast comes back with a message that: "Group Policy prohibits..." Huh ?
Avira just has the installing circle arrow going around and around, forever.
From what I've read up on CTB Blocker, it "only" encrypts your text files, and video files, etc.
Nothing about it preventing virus software from installing (and running).
So, I'm wondering if the problem with Avast and Avira is something else in my system
that I have to correct ?
What do you think ?
If so, what should I check and correct ?
Or, is it most likely CTB Blocker that is preventing the new installation of both of these programs ?
Any cure ?
Would like to ask also if when I get my new PC once W10 is out, is it O.K. to normally
have several anti virus programs like Hitman, MalwareBytes, etc. all installed and running ?
Do they (tend to) interfere with each other ?
Thanks,
Bob
