As of late, mcafee keeps posting warnings of how Spy-Agent.bc keeps infecting my computer. The warning window pops constantly with like 10 minute intervals. I've read other posts about this malware, but I'm afraid to do this myself based off of other people's experience with this malware. Also I noticed that the internet sometimes runs slow for no reason (I have Comcast Cable). I've also downloaded HijackThis and ran it, but I didn't fix anything, because I don't want to make my computer inoperable. Please help me. Thank you.
