I Picked Up A Very Damaging Virus
Feb 7, 2009
I don't know how or where but symptoms are as follows. I cannot connect to the internet very well. It seems as though any websites i try to surf onto that could pose helpful do not load. When I try to boot from the Cd upon start up my keyboard will not respond. Nor can I enter safe mode because of the disabled keyboard. I cannot update my anti virus and ad removal programs I cannot roll back the system what so ever. I basically can't do much of anything without it being shut down.

On my desktop the icons have picked up a blue box with >>. Some have a white box with a little right leaning arrow.Note: the system has slowed down. I was using Comcasts free McaVee and then got a notice that my free subscription has expired. Comcast now provided Norton for free, so I went there and downloaded that virus software. While de bugging I have cleaned errors uncovered by CheckIt Register Cleaner program and Skybot. On booting it takes it's time. The McaVee burped when I reset to a earlier starting point (one day).running standard PC with XP. I have updated windows. I don't have KB977165. I see from below this is incorrect. I do have this pill???? I am a novice (but old) user, easily confused.

While working on my wireless on my laptop and logged onto our wireless signal, my pc advised me that it had picked up a second ip address that now conflicts with another item running on my network. Why would there be a second IP address? What does this mean? What do I do about it? I am running XP home, Zone Alarm in stealth mode and my router is a linksys. Not sure what other information I would need to provide. I click on the message in hopes that it would provide more info, but it just dissappeared. There doesn't seem any change in my computer as far as I can see.

I got a Gateway notebook with Vista. I got a router from Belkin. I was on a fairly new desktop with XP2. I followed all the instructions and got the notebook on the internet. Then when it came to setting up security, all went bad. The notebook wouldn't "take" the phrase I picked out. OK so I unplug everything and decide to send the router back. I go back on the desktop where there were 3 users (2 limited and me admin. It won't let me log in as admin. I tried on all 3 names anyway to no avail. Everytime I clicked on ANYTHING it said "error file cannot be found invalid path" something like that. System restore I couldn't even bother with because like I said, clicking on anything just gave me error messages.

I reinstalled my OS and all my software, shortly thereafter I noticed I had an issue where any sound that was coming through my headphones was being retransmitted through the mic, with further testing I found that this was not actually the case but rather any sound that would be output is being retransmitted as audio in, even if I had no speakers, headphones or mics connected. I have looked at and experimented with everything I could in every sound settings.
I have tried updated drivers, the only way for me to stop the issue from occurring is to mute the mic in the recording control, but that stops me from using the mic altogether. I need to be able to use my mic without recording anything that I am hearing as well.

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?

I had a trojan Virus in the computer. I think that I got rid of it, but I am not sure could anyone that can read a log please tell me if there is anything else left in the computer. The computer now doesn't stay on-line it disconnects itself. I called the company that provides me with my internet service, and they said that I need a filter for the phone line. The person told me that, that will take care of the problem of the internet disconnecting. I think that it could be the virus I had in the computer. I wasn't able to get on-line for at least a week, I had gone and checked the disk for errors and finally the anti-virus program was able to find the virus's.

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 have not been able to get into my C drive directly, I have got to use a shortcut,when I try to get into it directly I get a message saying "Windows cannot find 'RECYCLERs-2-8-49-100014492-100020849-100010941-4277.com.' make sure you have typed the name correctly, then try again. To search for a file, click the start button,and then Click Search." I only know that this is a virus because when I plugged a cheap usb storage stick I saw a folder called RECYCLER start to be created, I managed to stop it from finishing, but there is no RECYCLER folder in my C drive.

I've been getting some pop-ups all day today. I had come across GM ENTER as a running file yesterday and delt with it by running ad-aware which found the files and using HJT to pull the reg keys. I'm getting alot more pop-ups today though. I've run ad-aware three times, each time finding several files. I've also run HJT again and pulled a few more reg keys that I knew were just wrong. I don't have much on this PC as its Server 2003, emg.centralspeed.com is the page that keeps trying to open. Also on some of the attempts the add button goes off and it attempts to add the page as a trusted one. It's annoying.
