A question about : A virus and trojan?

Avast seems to have found something last night, 2 things actually :

js.agent DHS

win32 RQA(tri)

After googling I think the 2nd one is the worse? Avast did a scan then a bootscan and sent them to the chest? I am running a malwarebyte scan now but it says my free trial has expired , but is doing a threat scan?
Any advice please.

A question about : How often do you back up?

.......do a full back up your PC?

The reason I ask is I see so many problems on here that seemingly take forever to resolve, whereas with the big 'if only' of having a back up available, a fix would have been simple.

A question about : What Security do you use?

I thought it would be interesting to know what security people use (and how successful or not!). I'm assuming that giving this info doesn't put security at risk - perhaps someone could say if it does!

A question about : The Great 'Cheapest Decent Laptop' Hunt

THE GREAT 'Cheapest New Laptop' HUNT: This week's Hunt taps MoneySavers' huge collective research power. While PC prices have plummeted, laptops costs have been static for years, with the consistent low price point regardless of power usually around Ј800. Finally LCD & other display prices dropping means Ј500 for a new, decently performing laptop is possible.

A question about : Unremovable Spyware!

How can I deal with a hijacked browser start-up page (a crappy search-engine thing)? Ad-Aware 6.0 "deletes" it, but it's always there again whenever I next log-on. Changing the start up page via Tools/Internet options hasn't helped to get rid of it either. I've also tried getting rid of it with Spybot 1.3 too, without any success. Indeed Spybot doesn't even detect it!
