View 14 RepliesMy computer is infected. I have ccCleaner, Spybot, Ad-Watch, Ad Aware, Windows live onecare. I have ran them all but I am still having problems. When I log onto Internet Explorer I get a blue screen that tells me I need to reset my security settings in order to view my home page which is road runner. I followed the instructions and nothing. I cannot view any flash sites. I tried to see if I am missing a flash player and I cannot locate one. When I try to download Adobe Flash Player, I am unable to do so as the download button does not appear on my screen ( I know where the button is supposed to be because I checked out the site on my daughters computer,which I am on now). I also tried to download other software to help with the spyware and malware, however the minute I hit download I either instantly get disconnected from the internet or I get an error message that says " Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and must shut down...". I have gone into safe mode and ran spybot and the others and still no better. I am getting a message that Windows Firewall is disabled, however when I got to it Its grey and it wont let me turn it on. I have been trying to fix my computer for days and am completely fustrated,

View 7 Replies View RelatedThere is an unwanted background on my desktop.It is a warning that my computer might be infected with a virus and I suspect that the virus or pop up program actually switched to this file from my previous background, which I would like to restore.I have tried but when I go into Display and Desktop and Background, I can not choose any of the selections. This is a vexing problem, the security warning currently set as the background is ugly.

when i try to open any drive from My Computer it is opening in new Window It doesn't opens in same window instead a new window is opened every time is my computer virus infected?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if it's safe to do that. I would guess that individual documents wouldn't be infected. I wouldn't want to infect my new computer. Afterwards, I plan to reformat the drive and re-install the operating system. The infected machine is an older one, so I may use it for simple word processing or older games or give it away. I know that reformating won't destroy old files beyond recovery but I'd hope it would take care of any viruses. I don't have any personal economic info on it since I haven't used a program like Quicken or Money.
I know the machine has at least one virus (about.com) and may have others since many of the programs that should take care of this stopped working after I installed Windows Service Pack 2. I gather others had similar problems after doing the same. Perhaps the most annoying is that I can't access the icons on the bottom of the screen. That includes files you minimize.
I've been trying to help a friend who has a computer that is horribly infested with virus and malware. My friend had no recovery partition or any type of Windows CD. After downloading and running Spybot and Avira Antivirus the computer began to run much better. Everytime the computer would startup, Avira found a virus called "Winlogin.exe". I tried the "Quarantine" option but it kept popping up. Eventually I just clicked "Rename". Now when starting the computer it loads the Bios and goes to the XP boot screen - and then restarts - over and over and over. I've tried booting in safe mode - same thing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy computer is connected through the internet through a router and dsl modem which have worked in the past.During the past two days the internet connection has deteriorated on the XP computer but has stayed the same for the win98 computer eliminating suspicion from the isp.Downloading files for updates, logging into websites etc. is not working unless connected directly to the internet through the modem and sometimes that doesn't even work.I tried running the Norton Anti-Virus scanner but it said it was missing components and when I tried to reinstall the installation failed. I was luckily able to download a free scanner from the internet and ran it on reboot and found 53 various Trojan files infecting to be what i thought useless files. After the scan and deletion the internet still does not work.The problem is i can't repair internet explorer because everything on XP is integrated with the internet and getting updates from the internet is impossible, even system file checker doesn't work without access to the internet.A viable culprit in my mind would be the Norton Internet Security program that comes along with Norton Anti-Virus, which changed internet settings on installation and in the past would not allow the internet to work without it at least on and disabled.I am also missing the .dll files iecont and iecontlc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy laptop, a Toshiba, running XP Home, became infected and it had Norton's pre-installed [she never updated it].It barely booted and eventually I uninstalled it and have since ran a MULTITUDE of anti virus apps in an attempt to clean the poor thing: Panda, AVG, McAfee, they all did half a job and sometimes even gave up. Avast and Spybot seem to have done the trick... or... have they? The laptop is still snoozing and crashing everytime I open a browser. I don't know what to do.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy computer had been running fine, but I was using Mcafee and I hated it, so I uninstalled it. Without having any antivirus software to replace it with right away. So, about a week later (aka today), my dad was helping me install a new printer when everything went crazy. It was taking forever for my computer to boot up, and then after it was 'ready' it was incredibly slow. Then it would go to a blue screen with some text on it (I wish I had written down what it said, but I didn't-something about an infection detected) and we would shut it down manually. Finally, we were able to restore the computer to an earlier date. The printer is no longer installed, but I think I still have a virus.
I just installed avast, which during a reboot it did a scan where I had lots of infected files, and several options as to what to do with them. A few of them were temporary internet files, and not thinking, I hit delete. I realized this was a bad idea, and for the infected files after that, I selected "move to chest."
I'm not sure where to go from here. A lot of them are c:system volume information\_restore... which might have something to do with why my speakers aren't working.
My cousin's XP was infected by virus, and it was not able to start in any mode(including safe mode, command prompt,last configuration and etc). I took and move the harddisk to my PC and scaned it using trend micro
housceall. The virus scanner detected and removed several virus. But it is still not able to get into any mode. Once i get into the xp, the XP reboots and it happens to any mode. I also did the repair installation and scandisk, and it did not work.
Im asking help for anyone who know's to remove lsass.exe virus. This virus i driving me crazy, my flash usb create folders that i didn't create by my self and i can't delete the folder's even the folder's i create by my self. I click on folder and i go SHIFT+DELETE the folder hide ones and in 5 seconds he show again.
And in my friend computer the folder convert in folder.exe so i can't open it.I tried to repair with COMBOFIX but didn't repair nothing.So i have format my usb and when format is done show a error table wich is like this:
Line 0 (file"C:winlsass.exe"):
for$j = 1 to $filelist[0]
for$j = 1 to $filelist^error
error: subscript used with non-array variable
I will really apressiate any help cuz this virus has ifected my Computer too and i'm going crazy.
Norton has just told me that my computer has been infected with the trojan.nebuler virus. I have read the various deletion instructions for this specific virus, but all seem to require the recovery console on the XP CD. Seeing as my computer was bought from dell they haven't supplied me with one. Is there anything else I can do. I don't really want to re-install my OS etc...

View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is weird and perplexes me and everyone I ask: My computer doesn't have anything that seems like a major performance problem, but it does one funny thing. I have SBC Yahoo DSL and use the modem and ethernet card they sent me, as well as a Linksys Ethernet Firewall Router. (I only have one computer; the router is just for security.) What's weird is that every time I boot my computer, there is a better-than 50% chance that there will be no Internet connection. When I look in Control Panel under Network Connections, there is no ethernet card listed except one called "1394 Connection".

I have checked all of my computers hardware and it says everything is working properly. Also I have made sure all the drivers are updated and working properly.
