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.
Recently got a piece of spyware called SpySHeriff. The program installed on my PC claiming to be a spyware fix program (i did not allow the install) i could not remove the program for a while but after looking through help topics on the net i found a registry to delete and fix the problem. Another thing that happened was that my wallapaper changed to this message : SYSTEM STOPPED system has been stopped due to serius malfunction. Spyware activity has been detected. It is recommended you use a spyware removal tool to prevent data loss. Do not use the computer until all spyware has been removed.
this virus named hboth07 cannot delete has tried several programs but because he never backed up his hard disk cannot afford to lose all data after all this time. i cannot find anything on this name
i have an external/portable hard disk. i connect it to my laptop by usb.everything used to be okay, i mean with all the contents inside it. but now recently i have this problem with this particular folder. all folders could be clicked, highlighted, right clicked, accessed; but this one folder, whenever i attempt to highlight it/select it, or when i single/double or right click it, the window would just freeze.
I'm having some serious problems with malware and something called Surfsidekick 3.It won't let me remove it with Ewido or hijackthis or spybot or anything, I don't know what to do. I tried removing it manually and I get a message saying it's in use. The computer is locking up and I dunno what to do.
I'm running Window XP Media Edition. I just started getting warning message that someone is running Data Miner on my pc and spyware messages. It then brings up the following IE page: http://antispylab.com/
Hi, my kids and I use this computer. A week ago upon clicking on internet explorer I got the following screen (says eprotect in the address bar). I'm not sure what's wrong but I get this screen every time I click internet explorer. Everything works fine but very slow, once I click cancel to the screen. Is there any shareware that I can install and use to remove tihs virus or whatever it is?
I had put in a new processor and mother board and reloaded Windows XP a few weeks ago. It was working fine but now I'm getting pop ups, and my Avast antivirus is going nuts saying a virus has been detected. I run the antivirus it finds Trojans Win32:-gen and Win32:small EQY,EPJ, EJD. It can't seem to quarenten or delete them. I've run Spybot and come up with a couple this and gotten rid of them but it just seems come back.
The curser jumps from place to place once in a while. My computer shows about 75 Processes at all times on the task manager and the cpu seems to always be working even when idle. I've got a Dell Dimension 5100, with up to date spy and virus security but scans show no sing infection?
I think i might have a virus on my computer called Trojan.Metajuan, i saw in in my Norten scan and i cant remove it and i am having alot of problems.So my computer is slow right when i turn it on, it loads all my programs fine.So i try to do a Spywere scan with Webroor Spy Sweeper and after 5 mins it shuts down and i cant open the program i get a "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."I get that error with moslty every program like winrar, any spywere and stuff.I can play games fine, stuff net and text, just cant open programs, and i get alot of ad pop ups.
On my system there are a few programs that I think are spyware or a virus, so not being sure what to do or what to remove I've decided to ask the experts.
When I booted up the pc this morning a blue scree came up that I had never seen before. It took a long time for it to scan. It said I had a couple of viruses but didn't give me any way to fix them.
All of my scans and checks are coming up clean, but i still get an application error that says " the instruction at 0x01a82dc0 referenced memory at 0x01a82dc0. the memory could not be read click on ok to terminate the program" every time i close internet explorer. 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. Is my intell32 virus gone? Is it say to do my online banking again?
A 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.
I 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 wasnt sure what this file is. Could someone tell me if its ok to Delete these through spyware doctor? the overpro.com is an adware I think but the common files/swf studio seem legit and the aol accdef.exe seems legit but spyware doctor says its bad.
i've recently encounter a problem, out of the blue, norton antivirus is disabled and can't be open, it says norton has encounter problem. please reinstall. then internet stop working.and i've only use Internet explorer again the night before due to some mis-configuration on my FireFox. now the problem with norton is back.if norton is attack by viruses/spyware so easily as if my computer is not even protected at all. all i did was browsing through ninemsn and netbanking.norton seems to be a let down.
I think i have a virus or spyware . i use Spy Sweeper.Ad-Aware SE Personal .Spybot Search & Destroy CCleaner.but something is stell runing in the back ground.i have no virus programs do any one no any free virus programs.
I desperately need help.I have been infected by NetWorm-i.virus@fp,w32.myzor.fk@yf,psw.x-vir spyware,cyberlog-x and w32.myzor.fk@yf. I dont know anything about computers and I dont have a clue about removing these viruses.
When i attempt to use windows update I get redirected to http://www.bestwebslinks.com/ ; I have a feeling that this is not a ms site. Other symptoms include a heart shaped desktop shortcut named Online Dating as well as another icon that sports the Ghost Busters logo and titled Remove spyware.
I think i might have a virus. i can't change my desktop background and every once and a while the programs:10387.exe, 1609.exe, 18975.exe, and 5095.exe show up on the process list when i hit control+alt+delete.
what do you do if you run say: kaspersky internet security pro 2009 and it doesnt find spyware or a virus...but the machine is still running slow.its got 1GB ram,dual core is this right?1 run a defrag 2 run a windows repair
AOL internet connection comes with my DELL computer. I don't use AOL so I uninstall AOL and all relating AOL software. However this AOL spyware keep poping up & scanning.
when I boot up I get 3 error messages this took place after I ran a virus scan and unloaded 40 viruses and tons of spyware 1- G.exe 2- T.I80.exe 3- XOP.exe. I have a gateway laptop windows xp windows pro. intel p 4.
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
I 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.

I tried to start it up and it takes forever to load. It takes a couple of minutes to open any of the icons on the desktop too (Mozilla, Word). I tried to clean up as best I could. I ran some spyware programs and antivirus and nothing too much showed up -- no viruses. It takes so long to run these programs that I go off and do other stuff and come back hours later and the scans are still running! Is there anything that you can recommend to get the laptop running as it should?
