Ive recently discovered that my computer is infected with many viruses, adware, spyware, etc . and am very worried. My main concern is this constant pop up (that looks like a windows pop-up balloon) that tells me my computer is infected and wants me to buy anti spy storm. Ive already run spybot, bitdefender and AVG anti spyware many times in normal and safe mode (i couldnt run bit defender in safe mode).
View 14 RepliesI came home the other day and my family's home computer had a bunch of internet explorers open telling me I'm infected with all sorts of viruses. In the bottom right corner of the screen there is a blinking yellow triangle with a black exclamation sign it that regularly pops up with a seemingly legitimate warning but I know its the virus. Also, on the desktop, there are two icon shortcuts to things called "Live Safety Center" and "Online Security Guide." Also I assume they're part of the virus.

I was wondering what others of you used for anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewalls etc.I have heard that sometimes it's not the best idea to use a complete package, like ZA internet security suite, for the whole lot You hear a lot of conflicting info about them all, I've heard that AVG is good, Norton isn't, someone said windows defender was good.

When either program reads C:/windows/I386 it intermittently powers down. I think there's a corrupt file in the main body of I386, but can't isolate it. I'm not sure which type of file should be in this area.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a vundo infection (on it's automatic scans) i ran superantispyware pro and it said clean.
Then i restarted, and it was back.
I ran superantispyware pro again, along with cwshredder, spybot, spyware blaster, and prevx. the infection seemed to be gone, but then the next day trendmicro alerted me that it was in my system restore. so i turned off system restore, restarted, re-enabled system restore and made a restore point.
The infection isn't gone.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running XP Home Edition. A few days back I contracted one of those viruses that hi-jacks IE, but I was able to catch it before it completely installed. I used Malwarebytes, AVG and SuperAntiVirus to get rid of it and (after several scans) I'm now pretty certain that my system is 100% clean.Nevertheless, under the one user account that was infected AND in Admin (Safe Mode), programs like IE, Firefox, and Rhapsody can no longer find an Internet connection. Also Malwarebytes and SuperAntiVirus can't find their respective update servers. However, Bittorrent and Outlook still work fine and I can still ping IPs and Web addresses from the command window. The other odd thing is that one user account (on the same computer and that does not have Admin privileges) is still working perfectly.

Is there something I can do to see what's the matter with it?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI started having a strange problem happening. Upon windows 2000 start up, a DOS window opens saying that it is an instance of svchost.exe running. Now I know this has to run but this is the first time that it ever opened a window when doing it. So I figured something in the registry got whacked. So I downloaded spybot and ran it. It found 153 things that I certainly didn't want running on my computer. I had spybot delete them all. I then restarted my PC. The DOS window still pops up on startup.
I then looked at my start menu to see if something got added there that is starting this up on start up. Nothing. I then manually checked the register against another computer that I have that doesn't have the same problem. All instances of any calls to svchost.exe on both computers appear to be the same

It does download ads. (I think it's called weather bug) I'm trying to convince them to get rid of it. It comes up in the Spybot scans as mini bug or something.

Before this, windows was shutting down at random during startup or when running certain programmes.It was easier to reinstall than fix as no data on the pc was needed & it had a restore disk.the restore seemed to be successful.After loading avg, spybot & spywareblaster, I ran spybot. Halfway through, the pc restarted. Tried again, same prob. Tried avg, This had the same result whilst checking the hosts files, It shuts down whilst checking a file around here: c:i386mdmtosh Tried again, same prob.I have now been told that these programmes did the same thing before the reinstall.

I try and run AdAware and Spybot regularly but it seems that I have to go to each desktop (there are five users on our home computer) to run them to make sure I clean up everything. As you can imagine, especially since my kids do a lot of cruising (most of it supervised), it takes a long time. I am hoping there is some way to be able to run these apps from my desktop and globally cover all desktops at once, but I haven't found it. Any suggestions out there? Thanks.
