Hey guys, im sorry if im not on my pc the following week or so, but some bastard gave me a virus, wich shutted my whole pc down:mad:.
I am still available to be on msn from "Some" times, until i get the stupid virus fixed and so, i wont be able to be on my pc anymore.

Virus: Spyware
Problems: I get stupid virus attack pop-ups, Internet porno pop-ups :mad:, Makes my startup homepage to my C://, makes my background a HTML website that advises me to download and pay for their shit to remove it.

well...hope im back soon again, so i probably wont make it to tha prom :(. anyway, hope you all have fun and hope you all have a nice prom.:)

Sometimes a virus scanner or anti-ad software can't fix certain browser infections. It's important to identify what program is causing this to happen, and then do a Google search. Often enough they provide fixes there, though you might have to go inside your Registry to do it. :)

I can scan in safe mode:)

You just have to run the scan manually by starting up the virus (or spyware) scan manually:)

do you know how to get into Safe Mode?

If not, read the following:

Safe Mode is a mode of Windows where only the absolutely necessary things are loaded up...
When you start up your computer, press F8 a couple of times. I usually do it until I hear the beep coming from my pc. It'll bring up a black screen, asking how you want to start up... Select 'Safe Mode' or whatever comes near...

When in Safe Mode, run all the scans again...
Spyware and Adware should be gone now...

i got all virus programs i can think of now :P and its like when i delete it, it copys it self and than i can delete and delete and delete all the time, and not one of the virus programs can deinfect it, ad-aware and ad-wach is no good, they just find the bug once, and when they say that, it just copys it self, and when i run the scan again, it cant find it. its inside my c://windows/drivers/ect/host
and
c://windows/host

yeah indeed

I have Norton, McAfee And AVG 7.0 as Virus Software

Guess what?
Norton: "PC is Virus-free"
McAfee: "Pc is Virus-free"
AVG: "2 Worm-viruses"

great... :confused:

So I guess it really is totally great to have multiple Virusscans :D

Make sure to update your Ad-aware to find new reference files, and choose a custom scan, where you make sure it checks everything.

And use a virus scan.

Hmm.. spyware is no big deal.
First you install all anti spyware programs you can find like lavasoft's ad-aware but also spybot search and destroy. Make sure you have the latest upgrades.
Then you change your background to normal again.
Change everything else to normal again too.
Install a firewall + virusscanner.
Then you go to www.mozilla.org where you can download the internet browser mozilla.. because everyone uses MS IE all those spyware programs are made for that and do not affect other, ofter better, browsers like mozilla.

download and install:

A good piece of software to have. This will scan your computer for any kind of spyware that any freeware or shareware program that you download and install.
http://www.lavasoftusa.com


Just download it, I have it too, and it works like a charm.
Also, get a Virusscan if you don't have any yet.

And post in ORION PC Help Desk and Programming Help next time, that's what it's there for :)
