A friend of mine clicked a link in an AIM message that gave me a virus, haven't been able to get rid of it. Hijackthis log is attached. If I don't figure this out soon, I'll have to buy a new HD so when I format I won't lose everything.
View 6 RepliesI have windows XP and I recently went to a website (cant remember what it was). About 15 minutes later a pop up said i had malware. My computer keeps warning me. My adaware, spybot, and AVG antivirus (all free) wont get rid of it. Now a day later, I can not pull up the internet explorer page and the soyaxe program my computer automatically downloaded wont leave the page.

View 3 Replies View RelatedToday 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.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen I click the 'my computer' icon in windows xp it takes a while to load, upwards of 20 seconds to display my hdds etc. I made some changes to services.msc last week in an attempt to speed up my machine, any thoughts on something I may have disabled which would result in this?

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?
I currently use Adobe Photoshop for much of my work, I require various specialized fonts, such as the ones done specifically for films, TV and Bands alike.
Whenever I click to go into my fonts folder, you know c:windowsfonts, it freezes,it just gets stuck there, an I need access.When this was working, downloaded fonts only worked at the time i placed them in.The .ttf file stayed in the fonts folder, but when I came logged on at another time after logging off/shuting down, the font was no longer in the drop down lists in the Microsoft programs/photoshop, and like i said was still in the fonts folder.
I double click on a Jpeg it opens in Windows Paint instead of the Windows Fax and Picture viewer as it has always done.BMP and GIFS still open correctly When I check under properties it states that Windows Picture and Fax viewer is the programme it opens with and that is highlighted in the drop down column. I can open them when I use the right click drop down menu and select preview, then it will open in the viewer. I have ran Norton Antivirus, spybot, Ewido, adaware. I have tried changing the Jpegs to open with paint, then changing it back again, still won't budge.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 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.

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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a nightmare with my notebook which is installed with Norton Internet Security.On booting up the notebook, a triangular icon(inside with an exclamation mark or an X)appeared on the bottom right bar. The icon appeared with a message to warn me of spyware attack. On clicking the icon, it took me to IE for http://www.spylocked.com/?aff=334 or http://www.wayofprotection.com/soft/. I also found my IE is installed with a 'Security Toolbar 7.1'.
In the Control Panel, I found a program 'Internet Explorer Secure Bar' which I wanted to delete. However, once I click the 'change/move' button to delete the program, it required me to reboot before deleting but on reboot, no deletion of the program took place. I want to know how to delete the program.I also want to know how to delete the icon on the right bottom.
Ok, I don't know how to start this, but a few days ago, my computer contracted a virus (which I have cleaned successfully) and around the same time of the virus, the sound on my computer stopped working.
