My aunt got hit with the W32spybot.worm. Nortons keeps popin up alertin her to it but says it cant remove it. Ive pulled up the removal instrustions online. Problem is she is more or less computer illiterate and since she lives on the other side of the country from me I cant fix it myself. I would like to avoid having to walk her through the removal over the phone since it deals with the registry and random file names, it would make it a pain to find. Are there any programs out that can remove it? Nortons will only do it part way so it re-installs after reboot.
i have a packard bell laptop which is about 2.5 years old and has windows XP home pre loaded i have got infected by 3 worm viruses w32 spybot worm ,w32spybot worm KHC and trojan dropper. in an attempt to remove i decided to use the pc restore disk to restore all setting to factory settings however i have now done this twice and still appear to have the viruses is this normal or am i doing something wrong.
This was driving me crazy xp was saying i had a firewall up. Yet i only had xp firewall and thatwas turned off. Finaly turned my brain on and read the fine print in the windows security centre and it says Norton Worm whatever
while im uploading something from bit torrent, norton, is always popping up asking me if i want to block it or permit the bit torrent program. even if bit torrent is on my permit list, its always asking me, and its bugging the crap out of me, while im trying to type something, the damn window keeps popping up, im already having a hard time typing this.
I've tried Norton, Ad-Aware SE, Spybot, unintalling and reinstalling, and I still have this worm. Basically, it just sends an IM to anybody I'm talking to, saying check this out: and then a hyperlink. I don't know if this is the best place to come but its the only place I could find. Could somebody either tell me how to fix this or point me in the right direction to somebody who can?
I know nothing about computers but my boyfriend knows a lot and this has even stumped him. I keep getting notices about having the w32.spybot.worm on my computer. We've followed the instructions on symantec for removal, didn't work. We've formatted it by deleting the partitions, still came back. Then we did a low-level format, and it still came back. The website at symantec says it comes from Kazaa?! I don't have kazaa, and never have. I run Norton virus checks and it doesn't find it, or it says it already deleted it. I search my computer and delete all the little tftp zero byte files. They keep coming back, and I don't know what to do.
my computer has been infected with WORM AGOBOT.UE and i cant delete it , it cant be deleted in safe mode either im using windows 2000

I recently picked up a virus. My NAV it appears to have affected NAV. I cannot turn it on. I have a security error popup that tells me it is not on.

So you are one of the hundreds of thousands of people that did not update your computer in time. No problem, just follow the instructions below to remove the worm from your system. Some users that are infected with the worm have a hard time updating and removing the worm because the system automatically pops up a message informing the user that the machine is going to shut down in 60 seconds. To stop your machine from shutting down one this message is displayed, simply go to the start menu and select run. Then type shutdown -a in the text box and click the OK button. This will stop the machine from shutting down.Now the first step is to apply the security patch to your system. We will remove the worm in step three but first it is important to update your system to make it secure. To update your system, click the link below for your operating system and download the file to your computer.
Windows XP Users - Click Here - Windows 2000 Users - Click Here - Windows NT Users - Click Here - Other Versions of this patch - Click HereNow that you have the patch downloaded to your computer, simply run the file from the location that you saved it at. Follow the on screen directions and keep clicking next.Now that the security hole in your system is fixed, it is time to remove the worm. To remove the worm, just download a special program that Symantec developed by clicking here. Once you have downloaded the program, run it and click the start button to start the search for the worm in your system. When it finds traces of the worm, allow the program to delete the files to rid your system of the worm. That's it. Now you should have a worm free system.
The IT guy at work thinks a worm is responsible for me not being able to log onto the internet, and getting the AFD network support invalid driver messages. Norton isn't finding any virus, worm or other problems.

Microsoft Windows, SpyBot, and Norton all sent a deluge of windows saying they had detected changes. SpyBot sent 7-10 warnings, one of them saying "SpyBot. Search & Destroy has detected an important registry item entry that has been changed. Catagory: System Startup global entry; Change: Value deleted; Entry: elkfqxcj; Old data: c:windowselkfqxcj.exe; [allow change][Deny change].Each of these SpyBot notices had a different entry. Since then my computer is extremely slow, freezes up when left for any time. A window pops us when opening and when changing applications titled "16 bit Windows Subsystem", saying: C:WindowsSystem32AutoExec.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Window's applications. Choose 'close' to terminate application. [close] [ignore]
i can't get rid of it via virus protection and can not stand on net long enough to download updates. have downloaded several sasser removal kits but nothing works.
I know that many in this group support downloading Windows XP updates.Personally,I download and install ONLY what is absolutely necessary, which for me has avoided problems with smooth running systems. There has been much media attention the past couple of days about the Zotob worm, I.E., PnP and compromised Windows security.I know that there is a patch available for download at the Microsoft web site WindowsXP-KB899588-x86-ENU.exe
I have just got Red Alert Comand & Conquer on my Windows XP and whenever I try to play Red Alert I get this message; The procedure entry point SMapLS_IP_EBP12 could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.
I have WinXP Media Center, am using yahoo DSL internet at a rate of 1.5 mbps, and use firefox as my default browser. In the past few days, I've noticed that every once and a while AOL will start and ask for me to put in my password when I didn't start it or ask for it to start. It usually happens when I open a webpage, like every 5 pages I open AOL will pop up randomly. I'm not subscribed to their service, it came with the computer. When I close it after it pops up I can't open a webpage in firefox and need to close and re-start a firefox browser for me to open a webpage again.
Here is my problem: I am trying to stream FLAC files from my laptop or desktop running XP and foobar2000 via usb to a Bryston BDA1 DAC then on to a preamp and 2 channel amp.I get these little popping noises at irregular intervals. Same thing happens with both my laptop and destop, but not with my wife's laptop. Did some research and others were saying to disable other usb devices on the usb bus, I went in the Device manager section and did that, plus killed some processes to no avail. Even disabled all wireless cards, etc..
I have started to get the attached alert on an occasional basis on my laptop.If I click OK it goes away and does not seem to have any effect. Does anyone know what this means ? I run Win XP/2 home1.2 GB mem 60 GB.
"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
I'm having lots of troubles with USB 2.0 support. My mother board is a ASUS P5GD2 Premium, which only has USB 2.0 ports but my Windows XP SP2 keeps popping up this error! I have some drivers, but they don't install because XP SP2 should already support USB 2.0. Maybe the cables that connect the USB ports are the problem.
Often, when attempting to download a particular file, I will get the Security Alert message: "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded." For example, this message appears when attempting to download IE 8 and regardless of the security settings, firewall on or off, etc.
I keep getting a windows installer popup window whenever I open ANY program. It says that �The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-Rom or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the disk and click OK. There is nothing listed in �Use Source�. I can�t tie it to anything I have done recently. I have Windows XP SP2.
What's this login box that is popping up now? I've never had this before and I've seen it on a couple of computers now.A login box pops up in the middle of anything - nice Windows colors with two keys in upper left.. asking for password and login "connecting to sc.msn.com"? Where the heck is this coming from?
I have some I need to post to find some help on how to get rid the Messenger Service messages that keep popping up, they have just ablocked me out on line.
I'm babbled as to why the on screen calculator pops up every time we hit the letter 'p' on my sons pc? It didn't used to do it & i have no idea how to stop it.
I admit I screwed up. Ventured off onto another page looking for something (andr) I think and I caught something. So I have cleaned what I can but I am still getting a lot if pop ups. I did also get hooked with spysherriff. As I type I have a total of 15 IE pages opened mow. Have to keep closing. I am running Trend Micro housecall.antivirus and along with AVG. But no help. I am including a log of Hijack this as well as Rootkit Revealer. I don't know where else to turn................
