ActiveX Virus/spyware Infecting System And Keyboard Wont Work?
May 13, 2008
I was about to download the ActiveX to make some video stream work online, but turned out it's a big virus. Now, whenever I want to open any folder, I get this > http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4953/sc1sk1.jpg My NOD32 is not telling me I have a virus, and Spybot is deleting spywares, but this is still in my laptop. I have a Windows XP by the way. Also, about two or three days ago, something really weird has been happening to my keyboard.
what do you do if you run say: kaspersky internet security pro 2009 and it doesnt find spyware or a virus...but the machine is still running slow.its got 1GB ram,dual core is this right?1 run a defrag 2 run a windows repair
I tried to start it up and it takes forever to load. It takes a couple of minutes to open any of the icons on the desktop too (Mozilla, Word). I tried to clean up as best I could. I ran some spyware programs and antivirus and nothing too much showed up -- no viruses. It takes so long to run these programs that I go off and do other stuff and come back hours later and the scans are still running! Is there anything that you can recommend to get the laptop running as it should?
Completely patched WinXP with all updates and service packs. Symantec Internet Security gives the following error: Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.
I checked the Symantec site for info. This led me to run services.msc, and I received the same message. I have set everything to default without result. I cannot find any useful information in the MS knowledge base or through Google.
Any ideas before I wipe out this install and start over with Fedora Core?
I have tried to restore my system to the first date available. xp always fails to load and I have to go back to "start windows from the last good configuration" – I started in safe mode, disconnected from the internet- scanned with NAV cleaned a bunch of junk off, scanned with Spybot S&D – cleaned some more junk off tried to restore to day one – same problem - go back to "start windows from the last good configuration"- several hours wasted and I am going crazy. This may be a virus problem
i got windows xp home and im unable to enter my desktop or login, when i start up i get to the windows xp home logo and the process bar, but after that everything turns black and stays that way forever.i can't enter safe mode, the computer simply dont let me, i tap the safe mode options key, f12 for me, not f8, but the screen never shows up, it's like it doesnt register the key is there, i can tap f8 to get the booting options and f1 for bios options, but not the safe mode.
this happened after i found a virus in winlogon.exe, the AV deleted it and that is when things got messed up, although i have done this before actually, but then i just repair installed windows and everything went back to normal, but when i try this now, it doesnt work, it installs windows all over again, the blue screen and the yellow progress bar, but when it's suppose to reboot and then continue the installation
I'm running Window XP Media Edition. I just started getting warning message that someone is running Data Miner on my pc and spyware messages. It then brings up the following IE page: http://antispylab.com/
Hi, my kids and I use this computer. A week ago upon clicking on internet explorer I got the following screen (says eprotect in the address bar). I'm not sure what's wrong but I get this screen every time I click internet explorer. Everything works fine but very slow, once I click cancel to the screen. Is there any shareware that I can install and use to remove tihs virus or whatever it is?
I had put in a new processor and mother board and reloaded Windows XP a few weeks ago. It was working fine but now I'm getting pop ups, and my Avast antivirus is going nuts saying a virus has been detected. I run the antivirus it finds Trojans Win32:-gen and Win32:small EQY,EPJ, EJD. It can't seem to quarenten or delete them. I've run Spybot and come up with a couple this and gotten rid of them but it just seems come back.
The curser jumps from place to place once in a while. My computer shows about 75 Processes at all times on the task manager and the cpu seems to always be working even when idle. I've got a Dell Dimension 5100, with up to date spy and virus security but scans show no sing infection?
Im currently running a Dell Dimension 4600 running Windows Home edition. I recently scanned with ewido and ad-aware, i could not run the ad-aware in smart scan mode (my computer would go to blue screen with fatal system error and would shut down if i did).I accidentally download a winfixer application a few months ago. I quickly uninstalled it after after reaslizing that it was not part of the windows secruity suite.
I recently downloaded ad-aware and scanned comp,the files are now quarantined, but i still get pop ups while using internet explorer.The last scan verified that i had trojans, and data miners all which were quaratined, but i still get pop ups (even with those sites on my blocked list). Is there anything i can do to stop the pop ups, and to over all get rid of the infection i have on my computer?
I think i might have a virus on my computer called Trojan.Metajuan, i saw in in my Norten scan and i cant remove it and i am having alot of problems.So my computer is slow right when i turn it on, it loads all my programs fine.So i try to do a Spywere scan with Webroor Spy Sweeper and after 5 mins it shuts down and i cant open the program i get a "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."I get that error with moslty every program like winrar, any spywere and stuff.I can play games fine, stuff net and text, just cant open programs, and i get alot of ad pop ups.
On my system there are a few programs that I think are spyware or a virus, so not being sure what to do or what to remove I've decided to ask the experts.
When I booted up the pc this morning a blue scree came up that I had never seen before. It took a long time for it to scan. It said I had a couple of viruses but didn't give me any way to fix them.
All of my scans and checks are coming up clean, but i still get an application error that says " the instruction at 0x01a82dc0 referenced memory at 0x01a82dc0. the memory could not be read click on ok to terminate the program" every time i close internet explorer. And some scans I have done with registry scanners say that there are bad keys (i think thats what it said) that need to be repaired. If i do have to repair that is there a free program to do it. Is my intell32 virus gone? Is it say to do my online banking again?
A short while ago while i was surfin the web I got a viris or somthing on my computer. A pop-up in my toolbar keeps telling me i have a serious infection, but im sure its just spyware because i cant stop it and it redirects me to a site to buy software. I have Spybot Search and Destroy and AVG anti-viris and ive run both twice, but it didnt help.
I was online and I got to some website, as soon as I got to this site all hell started breaking loose. I am running a pc with windows xp sp1 (I use avid xpress pro editing software they say not to use sp2). I am using the Microsoft anti-spyware and AVG free for my anti-Virus. Well as soon as i get to this site avg instantly finds a virus so i delete it, then it finds another which I delete. Then all of the scripts for microsoft anti spyware start popping up saying letting me know that something is trying to be changed on my system, I selected the block option on antispyware, about 3 or 4 more of these scripts pop up and I block all of them. After that I try to close internet explorer and all other open windows and my computer freezes up. I go to the task manager and close everything however I then cannot close the task manager or open anything on the desktop. So I go back into the task manager and restart the system. Heres where the fun starts
When I restart my system I instantly notice a problem. Now my desktop has changed, my wallpaper is the same however the left side of the screen looks shows the options you would see if say you clicked on my computer (for example a section that has files and folders, and details below that etc..) I cannot get rid of this at all, I don't know how to fix my desktop. Speaking of my computer it is now simply called "folder" and none of the icons can be opened by double clicking i have to right click and select open to open any icons. Also on my desktop are two folders that have no name and cannot be opened. Next I select the start menu and notice the options of "run" "search" and "help & support" are missing and are not available at all. Also if the "all programs" part of the start bar cannot be opened. It gets worse control panel is now called "folder" as well and when opened is only partially working. By that I mean that when I open add/remove programs it stays blank and never shows a list of files. The same thing happens when I open system restore, the window pops up but remains blank. Another problem is internet explorer opens but never displays anything..it is just blank. Windows media and microsoft antispyware won't open either they both give error messages. AVG still works however it does not detect any viruses when I do a scan. Also windows explorer itself seems to be affected because I don't even see the address option on the top of the screen when I am in my computer or anywhere else.
I have attached my log from AdAware showing the files that I can't delete.Also, here is my HiJack Log. Computer is acting weird, the taskbar will not hold it's settings (keeps turning off the quick launch) and occasionally the screen will just show the background, not files and I have to restart the computer.
i've recently encounter a problem, out of the blue, norton antivirus is disabled and can't be open, it says norton has encounter problem. please reinstall. then internet stop working.and i've only use Internet explorer again the night before due to some mis-configuration on my FireFox. now the problem with norton is back.if norton is attack by viruses/spyware so easily as if my computer is not even protected at all. all i did was browsing through ninemsn and netbanking.norton seems to be a let down.
I think i have a virus or spyware . i use Spy Sweeper.Ad-Aware SE Personal .Spybot Search & Destroy CCleaner.but something is stell runing in the back ground.i have no virus programs do any one no any free virus programs.
I desperately need help.I have been infected by NetWorm-i.virus@fp,w32.myzor.fk@yf,psw.x-vir spyware,cyberlog-x and w32.myzor.fk@yf. I dont know anything about computers and I dont have a clue about removing these viruses.
Recently got a piece of spyware called SpySHeriff. The program installed on my PC claiming to be a spyware fix program (i did not allow the install) i could not remove the program for a while but after looking through help topics on the net i found a registry to delete and fix the problem. Another thing that happened was that my wallapaper changed to this message : SYSTEM STOPPED system has been stopped due to serius malfunction. Spyware activity has been detected. It is recommended you use a spyware removal tool to prevent data loss. Do not use the computer until all spyware has been removed.
When i attempt to use windows update I get redirected to http://www.bestwebslinks.com/ ; I have a feeling that this is not a ms site. Other symptoms include a heart shaped desktop shortcut named Online Dating as well as another icon that sports the Ghost Busters logo and titled Remove spyware.
I think i might have a virus. i can't change my desktop background and every once and a while the programs:10387.exe, 1609.exe, 18975.exe, and 5095.exe show up on the process list when i hit control+alt+delete.
I am having issues with my keyboard and mouse(hence the title). My keyboard works fine while in the bios and while booting, but once the Windows Bar stops going from side to side and I start to see my desktop load, the screen is in 640x480 resolution or something (like safe mode) and I can't use my keyboard or my mouse, even though the lights on both are lit(so they have power). Earlier, I was having problems with my hal.dll (long story, but I ended replacing it from my MCE OEM CD in the recovery console((which I have in my MBR Boot menu)), and now I am here). I think that that might be the contributing issue here, but I have no clue what to do next. The same thing happens when I enter safe mode. I would just boot from my XP DVD and do a repair, but DELL gave me a DVD-ROM OEM disk with my XPS 600 even though the only drive I can boot from is my CD-RW DRIVE as far as I know. I have checked my boot order in my bios. I can boot from USB or Onboard or Removable Hard drives and Cd Drives.
when I boot up I get 3 error messages this took place after I ran a virus scan and unloaded 40 viruses and tons of spyware 1- G.exe 2- T.I80.exe 3- XOP.exe. I have a gateway laptop windows xp windows pro. intel p 4.
My computer was recently was infected with the System Security virus. I've managed to get rid of that through a combination of Spyware Doctor and manual deleting of the virus program as well as various registry keys. But now I have other problems with my machine. These are just a few:1. Copy/Paste function not working-no error messages; it just won't work
I decided to try the Avira Personal Free Anti-Virus on my computer. Well, in the main inferface it only says that anti-virus is on, but i dont see anything about anti-spyware on. However on the website it says the free version gives anti-spyware so I am guessing in the program when it says Anti-Virus, it means anti-virus and anti-spyware right? On the website i saw it did say is gives both. Please help as if it has no anti-spyware, then i wont use it.
