My computer was recently was infected with the System Security virus. I've managed to get rid of that through a combination of Spyware Doctor and manual deleting of the virus program as well as various registry keys. But now I have other problems with my machine. These are just a few:1. Copy/Paste function not working-no error messages; it just won't work
View 6 RepliesI was wondering, what is the best anti-virus system and spyware programs out there?

I ran one of my anti-spyware programs last night and it listed choice.exe and it's partner file in the Prefetch folder as spyware. I went online and it gave it an "8" on the threat level from 1-10. I quarantined both files to see if I could get some advise before deleting them.

And some scans I have done with registry scanners say that there are bad keys (i think thats what it said) that need to be repaired. If i do have to repair that is there a free program to do it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedA short while ago while i was surfin the web I got a viris or somthing on my computer. A pop-up in my toolbar keeps telling me i have a serious infection, but im sure its just spyware because i cant stop it and it redirects me to a site to buy software. I have Spybot Search and Destroy and AVG anti-viris and ive run both twice, but it didnt help.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI was online and I got to some website, as soon as I got to this site all hell started breaking loose. I am running a pc with windows xp sp1 (I use avid xpress pro editing software they say not to use sp2). I am using the Microsoft anti-spyware and AVG free for my anti-Virus. Well as soon as i get to this site avg instantly finds a virus so i delete it, then it finds another which I delete. Then all of the scripts for microsoft anti spyware start popping up saying letting me know that something is trying to be changed on my system, I selected the block option on antispyware, about 3 or 4 more of these scripts pop up and I block all of them. After that I try to close internet explorer and all other open windows and my computer freezes up. I go to the task manager and close everything however I then cannot close the task manager or open anything on the desktop. So I go back into the task manager and restart the system. Heres where the fun starts
When I restart my system I instantly notice a problem. Now my desktop has changed, my wallpaper is the same however the left side of the screen looks shows the options you would see if say you clicked on my computer (for example a section that has files and folders, and details below that etc..) I cannot get rid of this at all, I don't know how to fix my desktop. Speaking of my computer it is now simply called "folder" and none of the icons can be opened by double clicking i have to right click and select open to open any icons. Also on my desktop are two folders that have no name and cannot be opened. Next I select the start menu and notice the options of "run" "search" and "help & support" are missing and are not available at all. Also if the "all programs" part of the start bar cannot be opened. It gets worse control panel is now called "folder" as well and when opened is only partially working. By that I mean that when I open add/remove programs it stays blank and never shows a list of files. The same thing happens when I open system restore, the window pops up but remains blank. Another problem is internet explorer opens but never displays anything..it is just blank. Windows media and microsoft antispyware won't open either they both give error messages. AVG still works however it does not detect any viruses when I do a scan. Also windows explorer itself seems to be affected because I don't even see the address option on the top of the screen when I am in my computer or anywhere else.
I have attached my log from AdAware showing the files that I can't delete.Also, here is my HiJack Log. Computer is acting weird, the taskbar will not hold it's settings (keeps turning off the quick launch) and occasionally the screen will just show the background, not files and I have to restart the computer.

I was surfing threw the wbe to find some keys for my dish network, anyways, i clicked on a site threw Google and so nothing interesting so i clicked back 30 secs later Norton started picking up virus and spy-ware repetitively so i did a full scan and it picked up one file which i deleted next i turned it to safe mode and restarted next thing i know my computer will not load to desktop once it reaches to loading desktop icon it restarts itself over and over again
i've recently gotten a virus on my computer that locks up everything and i can't even get to the task mgr or open up any thing. it wont let me go on the internet, it locks up the network also, unless i "pay for a virus protection program" which is absolutely pointless because we already have our vp. so far the only thing i've been able to do to "quarinteen" the virus is to hold the power button and just do the power off thing without shutting it down and then opening the computer in safe mode and then restoring it back to approx the last week and then restarting it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI decided to try the Avira Personal Free Anti-Virus on my computer. Well, in the main inferface it only says that anti-virus is on, but i dont see anything about anti-spyware on. However on the website it says the free version gives anti-spyware so I am guessing in the program when it says Anti-Virus, it means anti-virus and anti-spyware right? On the website i saw it did say is gives both. Please help as if it has no anti-spyware, then i wont use it.
