Not having an anti-virus solution on a PC with Internet in 2012 is like locking yourself in a zoo cage full of lions, haha. I totally agree with you Nirmal.

Apparently Avast seems to be getting quite large, in terms of how much space it takes up. I think over 200MB installation for an anti-virus program is a bit much, which is why they could've left certain features I believe are unnecessary fo most home users. With that said, I've switched to Avira which has always worked just as good for me. Avast is greatly recommended, if you don't mind having all the great features, and the huge installation that comes with it.

Apparently this Trojan, the "start page 1505" is a problem that DRWebcure has. Please see this forum post for an example: <a href="http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=161793" rel="nofollow">http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=161793</a> It does sound like you have other problems as well but for starters, I would uninstall that program and look for an all-rounder protection program or Internet security program such as Avast.
