Computer Is Infected With A Large Number Of Trojans
Oct 3, 2006
My computer is seriously infected with a large number of trojans, and other nasties. But i dont know where to start on how to get rid of them. When i run any long term virus detection program, it shuts down after a set amount of time. My cpu usage is almost always 100 percent, causing everything to run insanely slow, and also causing it to crash and restart. Need soome help on this one.
I will like to know from the Cnet uses that use windows xp sp2 to tell me how many viruses that they has on their pc. My record number is 105 viruses when doing a full system scan with the full paid version and updated version of Norton anti-virus 2004! I was surprised that i had that many viruses when i had been running norton for 3 or 4 months running full system scans once a week and a quick scan once everyday. I later then uninstalled norton becuase my computer was going too slow and installed avast antivirus. The first scan that i ran with avast as soon as i installed it found another 24 viruses. That is a total of 129 viruses.
i have avast antivirus installed and i keep getting warnings about impotato win dialer thingy and i keep getting bogus warnings about being infected with spyware from spy falcon and than i keep gettin warnings from avast with various viruses that include Win32:Trojano-CL [Trj]. Ive tried everything that i can think of ive ran avast, ad-aware, avg, ewido, spybot and cleaned out all my temp files and i just dont know what to do anymore
My 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.
i got a new machine. I've been looking around and pretty much the only processors being sold are 64bit ones. So i guess i'll be getting a 64bit processor. I've been have been reading around about windows xp x64 and i've picked up that a large amount of software will not run under windows x64. We have some windows xp 32bit disks but should we go for x64?
C:WINDOWSTELNET.EXE Ist das Trojanische Pferd TR/Dldr.Small.RN.1 That's what AntiVir. told me today - and I have no idea how to get rid of it, as marking the option "delete" on AntiVir doesn't seem to effectively delete the file.I haven't spotted or better said, felt, any anomalies in the doing of any things to do on my PC...but the fact that the Trojan is there disturbs me greatly since I don't know what exactly it will destroy when it fully activates itself.Just now again it gave me this alert: C:WINDOWSLASTGOODSYSTEM32TELNET.EXE Ist das Trojanische Pferd TR/Dldr.Small.RN.1
Because of the way I work, my XP NTFS system has a very large number of shortcuts. (I really need a semantic network file system.)
Lately I've noticed some peculiar performance delays. The Favorites view, for example, has many shortcuts in it. They can take up to a minute to resolve fully into folders, until then they display a generic IE icon.
there are multiple trojans on my computer.and i know it because ive run mcaffee virus scan and they find them...can i delete them? no....why? because before its done and i can click the delete, i get a stupid error pop up screen saying mcafee has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.it gives me two options "close" and "debug" idno what debug is so i just close it..by the way this happens with a ton of random programs that i have (be it I.E. or AIM).also my coer does this weird thing where the whole screen goes blue with white
I've had a lot of trojans and meltdowns and have reformatted 438545769 times (I have just finished reformatting again. I used to have ZoneAlarm and AVG until I sat and watched as they let a trojan just come on in and munch up all my files. Right now I just want a *stable* computer.
I am not sure where/when/how but I guess that is not important anyways. but I don't know where to start. What logs, information etc do you all wonderfully helpful people need to proceed. know some passwords were stolen... I have that under control but there are numerous little beasties creating havoc on my PC. How would you all like me to submit logs & which ones do you want?
Please give advice on what to delete to clean up IE. Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.0 Scan saved at 8:16:49 PM, on 2/18/2005 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180)
I mainly want to know if their is a site that can scan my computer to see if there are any trojans or worms. Any kind of stuff that a hacker could put onmy computer or anything that may have passed through my firewall.
im using windows xp. it has been infected by more than 1000 worms! i now have to use task manager to do stuff.. i used trend micro online virus scanner and remover to remove these worms. im not sure whether all of them were deleted. i didnt have anti virus. so now i wanna know how to fix my computer. can i just use an anti virus(that i can borrow from a friend) to fix my computer?. i want it to be back to normal or do i HAVE to format my com for the 100th time?
There 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.
computer is infected from a malicious program which always prompt to download a antimalware program. it happened when my friend tried to browse a porno site, nfortunately, my pc doesn't have antivirus or any internet protection... what should i do? when i open my internet explorer, it gives me a new defualt home page which informs me that my computer is infected and i have to buy their software to eliminate the problem. i believe my internet explorer is infected with a malware virus
My son was downloading something on the computer last night and he said all these pop ups came up and now on the task bar there is an icon , a shield with a x in the center that says your computer is infected. When I click on ok it says would you like to update your security software and install registry cleaner? Once in a while it keeps popping up from that icon that my computer has detected spyware infection and has corrupted the registry. Virus program shows nothing, well it showed threat of bloodhound and said it cleaned it but that is it. How do I get this off my taskbar and how do I get all the icons off that I dont want to run.
I hava a PC with Windows XP Proffesional 1.6GHz P4 with 384 Mb RAM. I have 2 harddrivers 1) 40Gb Total 10Gb Free 2) 120 Gb total 92Gb Free. It has worked very very well for a couple of years but in the latest month it has become so slow. I have been infected with spyware and as everyone else that used IE been hijacked but I have removed all those programs and adds regarding "Hijack"
What happens everytime I, for example, end a program is that all the icons on my desktop disapear and one after one is coming back first with a "system icon" then it get its natural look. Another example is that it takes so long time to start the webbrowser (FireFox). I really don't know what can be wrong,
A friend of mine called me moments ago to tell me that she got a message from Windows Security Center on her desktop that the computer has been infected with spyware and to take necessary actions by downloading the latest Windows updates. She told me she saw win32res.exe was the cause of this.
I am servicing computers everyday for both business and home users and the vast amount of computers are infected with this whole family of viruses by names like Personal Security, Window Anti-virus, Antivirus7, Security Guard etc.I see these ransom-ware infections getting past everything from the free Anti-virus programs to the most expensive anti-virus programs, especially with home computers that are use for Entertainment Purposes and always because the users were browsing the Internet and are tricked into clicking on a fake warning of infection or security risk. Once they are tricked into that initial click, life goes downhill rapidly as the infection installs itself and then takes deeper root as the user clicks on subsequent fake screens. If they don't register the fake program, it will proceed to convince them to register by progressively turning off more and more Windows features.My question to the knowledgeable users of this forum is:Does anyone know of an antivirus/spyware program or combination of programs that can catch these infections as they initially try to install from that first ill-fated click while browsing the Internet?I have tried all the Big names to varying degrees of disappointing success.Would registered versions of MalWarebytes or Super AntiSpyware be effective?
I now have another computer to use. This computer is almost new and was given to me by my mother. My problem is everything looks large and the computer moves really slow. I have no idea of the problem and I would also like to remove SUPERAntiSpyware from the cpu and have no idea how.
i just got a couple viruses, my antivirus isnt working out very well, i just installed norton which doesnt think im connected to the internet so i cant get the new virus deffs. Anyways, i need to get these off my coputer because they load many pop ups as well as starting me at odd start pages. i ran ad-aware, spyware blaster, search and destroy and cwshredder...it remain
Everytime I open anything from folder to 'my computer' I get this error."Your computer was infected by unknown trojan.It's dangerous for your system (critical files can be lost)!Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your system! (Recommended)"I ran ad-aware, and mcafee. Still Nothing.
i have been infected with something called letgohome.com. it has taken over my homepage and i was told it could shut your computer down. i have tried using highjackthis and it still keeps coming back.
Boot up was extemely slow and would not allow internet (dsl) connection. I have fixed that by using the wireless card instead as I believe a driver is gone. I now no why she didn't want it anymore. When I ran spybot it came up with 37 items for removal. I have also run AD-Aware which continues to find some trojan viruses. I also have Avast running. I have reached the the extent of my tech abilityand although it seems to run better I still believe it is infected.
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?
