My computer found a few viruses and deleted them from the computer but when i just opened ar15com, it switched to a spy ware or some type of spy ware website. i also noticed in my control panel add/delete program, a program called hotflix. is this a virus or a necessary component. thanks

I think it is spy ware.

Make a Google search for viruses and see if hotflix it one. It is not on mine. If it is in the add delete program window it must be a program or something that you downloaded and forgot about. I do not belive that Microsoft would put a necessary component in the add/delete programs window.

The reason I said I thought it was spy ware, is a bud called for some help on his machine and I downloaded sby bot for him and ran it, and it made about 20 changes because of something calle hotflix.
