My Trend Micro detected this virus - WORM_VB.BXS - but failed to quarantine it, and it had been affecting all my ext hdd drives. Advice is to remove the file manually, but according to the removal site from trend micro, there is lots of registry editing which I'm not confident of doing. Is there other tools to remove this worm without going into the registry.

well im trying to fix a gateway pc with almost nothing on it. It is a celeron 2.4ghz and it runs like a 133mhz. It would take an hour to do a hijack scan if I wasnt in safe mode. Here is the scan. By the way, I did the scan in safe mode with networking. I also tried to do a trend micro virus scan but it wouldnt let me on mozilla or IE.

I keep getting a message from the toolbar in the bottom right corner of my screen stating my computer is infected. "The system has detected virus activities". I have run a virus scan with my Norton's antivirus which fixed 4 infected files. I then ran Ewido anti-malware whcih fixed another 4 infected files but I' am still getting the message my computer is infected. I ran killjackthis and saved the report but cannot tell from the entires what might be causing the problem. I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

View 7 Replies View RelatedA friend was being bombarded with pop-ups, so I ran two programs which I use on my own computer and have installed on many others; they are "Spybot" and "AdAware." He is running Windows XP Pro. This friend of mine does not go to porn or gaming sites (and I found no evidence that he did), or gambling sites, with the exception of one casino site that has never caused any problems for him
The first time I ran Spybot, it detected 249 problems but couldn't remove some because they were running at the time of the scan, and gave me a choice of running Spybot again the next time the computer was started. I chose yes and it found 197 problems this time and couldn't fix 30 of them. I chose yes again to run Spybot on the next boot, and this time it said that it could not fix 44 problems. I ran RegCleaner and it took out some files but I didn't count them. I then ran Norton WinDoctor which found and fixed eight problems. I followed this with a scan with AdAware, which found 1,083 problems!! It could not fix 235 of them and on the reboot it could not fix 177 of them. The next scan showed 168 problems and could not fix 60 of them on reboot. When I rebooted, a Welcome screen requiring a password for the Username "Owner" came up so I called the guy and asked him if he had ever used a password with this system, and he said no. Now I cannot get into his system at all!
lately my CPU became slower and slower and sometimes get frozen por 2 or 3 mintues. No problems were detected by AVG Antivirus 7.5.441, by AVG anti-spyware, by ad-aware SE Personal 1.06r1, or by Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4My OS is windows XP Profesional 2002, Service Pack 2 (spanish version) and the processor is an AMD sempron 2800, 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM.Is there someone that could help to find the problem.

Is there anything in windows that anyone knows of that I may have turned off, or a way to enable or access it through windows. I have XP pro SP2.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a friend who is having a problem with his laptop.I don't know what kind of laptop he has but the problem is his laptop cannot detect any cd/dvd rom drives. It will not detect the internal cd/dvd rom or an external dvd rom (connected thru usb2.0). It does however recognise the harddrive. He is using Windows 2000 OS. For obvious reasons he cannot put in the Win2000 CD and reinstall drivers (if that is what the problem is). So, does anyone know what could be wrong? I can get more information on the laptop if this would help.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHelping a friend with his computer (Gateway w/XP Home SP2) and discovered his floppy drive does not detect the floppy disk when it is inserted. I was attempting to created Ghost images from the floppy and it would boot into the OS instead of the bootable floppy. Checked BIOS and boot sequence was correct (2nd boot device). Tried 3 different disks still no joy. Clicked on A:/ drive in Windows Explorer (with floppy disk inserted) and got "Device not accessible". Checked floppy drive properties in Device Manager and it says device is operating normally.
I have not yet opened the tower to check connections, but to date the tower has never been opened since the computer was purchased a couple of years ago. I do not know whether the floppy has ever been actually used. My friend doesn't remember ever using it.Checked the bootable floppy in my computer and it worked just fine.
In reinstalling XP SP2; Monitor works, but only in 680/460 resolution and it cannot be changed. Device manager shows no monitor or driver. The correct driver is Intel 82865G and I cannot find it anywhere in the old files. Can't download it from the Intel site either (problem #2!) Also, I tried shutting down and disconnecting the monitor then restarting with the monitor connected (no luck.)
