i have tried a few of those things in the laptop thread, nothing worked.

on the winhelponline it says to delete the .ctf files. i do not have any in that folder

Have you unhidden all files, and displayed system files?? Maybe they are hidden or system files..

yes i have, is there a better virus protection i can get?

I would recommend Avast Free edition. It is free, does its job efficiently, does not clog up the system resources.

If you want to go paid, go for Eset Nod32, or Kaspersky. Both are incredibly good. Nod32 scores high coz it doesn't slow down the system, Kaspersky has arguably the best virus detections.
