Anti Virus Under Virus Attack / Automatically Disabled?
Apr 13, 2007
A few days back I noticed my Anti Virus was automatically disabled. It usually runs continously in the background but of late it was being disabled.I tried re installing but it was of no use. Now I find that a suspcious program 'Form1' is running when I use alt+tab.Could not find this on the task manager though When I try to run anti virus scans / Spybot / Ewido, my computer just freezes after starting the scan!I know somethings wrong but I dont know what

My PC recently got a fairly nasty virus (W32-Sinowal-based Maximus! or something along those lines) so we had to get it wiped. A few days later, my computer was all messed up again. I can only boot up in Safe Mode, my sound doesn't work, and it is running slower than normal. I need to find out if I have another virus (although the guy who fixed it downloaded Norton Anti-Virus and it seemed fine for a few days) or if maybe my computer is just dying. It's about three years old and apparently it was outdated before we even bought it. Is there any way the virus could have affected the computer's hard drive or whatever (yeah, I don't quite know what I'm talking about) or have I maybe gotten another virus?

My anti-virus software keeps on detecting some virus from different folders from the C:WINDOWS emp folder, yet all folders are empty. It detects trojans from those empty folders . All folders from the temp folder are empty. Can't I just delete it all?

I recently was infected with a computer virus. Norton AntiVirus 2003 initially caught the virus and it supposedly deleted it, so I was not concerned with the message details. However, almost immediately after receiving the message I realized the virus was not completely removed. A DOS window popped up two or three times and then Norton shutdown. I tried opening Norton again but it would not open. I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it would not reinstall. I tried the Windows Update site and the page shows no conent. Any ideas on how to identify the virus so I can take steps to remove it?

I currently have Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite 6 & it is due to expire in about 8 days. 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.

I've got a PC with Win XP SP2. I'm currently using Etrust antivirus and Windows Defender on it. But, I'm suspecting it's got virus and/or spyware that those two softwares are not detecting. Can anyone recommend me other good anti-spyware and antivirus software (preferably free)?

Today I found a file in my hard drive's root that was called simply "L" (no extension). When I opened it in a text editor, I found it was a listing of my hard drive's entire contents---in the standard DOS "dir /w" format, but with all my folders and all they files they contained. I can't imagine why any program I use would create such a file. Could this be virus-related? I use a firewall and an up-to-date AV program, and a SpyBot scan showed nothing. Thanks for your suggestions.

Windows xp home sp2, Intel 3.0ghz 512MB approx 15 months old.PC shuts down when running AVG anti-virus or AVG anti-spy ware. 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.

well, i have reinstalled my os which is windows xp emachines model: t5048.
my computer is running normal, sometimes faster, and at times, there's this error popping up saying "oops! unable to contact server!" i get that out, and every site i go in it says "page error" as if the internet connection broke or something. so, when i reset my computer, it works again, but it just keeps on doing it. i only go to Internet, myspace, yahoo, and google most of the time. is there another type of virus in my system?

My PC was recently infected with a virus (Antivirus GT) and although I'm sure I've cleared it by running i0Bit 360 and Malwarebytes anti malware, none of the desktop icons or the task bar appear on start up.I can still access programs through the task manager (File, new task, run)and all my files are still present but obviously, I would like to return my computer to it's former working state. I do not have all the system recovery disks and could not find system restore or safe mode on the computer so I'm hoping there is a way of doing this without the use of CD's.

[windows xp] I was downloading a game and it was a virus and the operating system started going haywire, I was able to get the virus out and stabilize the computer but now I have many problems. I will give a quick list of problems; cant access any of the system tools cant defrag or use the system restore, disk cleanup nor can I use these in safe mode. Help and support is down and I can’t install my cricket broadband to get it online.Also it shows a svchost message and has generated shutdown in 1 window and then another window opens that tells me that NT authoritysystem has initiated the shutdown plz save work, every 10 or so minutes then restarts with no problems till it shuts down again.Also I have no sound only beeps and when I go to the sound properties box its showing no sound devise, im sure im missing drivers. what do you think is the best option reloading windows [hope not dont have os disk.

It's weird but my background kept asking me to to restore my desktop when i tried to replace the background with a new one,the main color of the background stayed around the lettering of all the icons. Thats when i checked for viruses and found i had one. My antivirus program is cheap so it detects it proceeds to say it removes it but doesnt.

I got a virus around Christmas and now want to reformat the drive and XP won't let me.It says I cannot dismount the drive to start the process.Something is using it?I just want to learn from my mistakes and start over. Also can I install XP from the discs from my other machine to this one? I do not have a copy of the original OS disc.

I'm using XP Home Edition with SP2 and Norton AV alerts to a virus attack by W32.Gaobot.SN the first time I go online each day. Six messages - unable to repair, access denied, auto deleted, unable to repair, access denied, auto deleted. Followed removal info but the values mentioned were not in the registry and nothing found in the scan. A few days later Norton found 3 infected files of trojan languard.exe. It's in the registry but I don't dare delete it from there as XP came installed on my pc and doesn't seem to have backup utility.
