Infected by evildoers
    #5326277 - 02/21/06 10:16 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Evildoers have infiltrated my girl's computer. She ran a scan for viruses and when running AVG it said there were 18 bad things but it was only able to delete 16. So these last two are apparently extremely evil. They minimize the window she is working in and pop up as a tab. They restart the machine, multiply and spread mayhem in general.

Have been running both AVG and this 'ashampoo antispyware' thing that she found on tucows...had a 5 cow rating and all. Now she just got a message that two more where detected on the system.

Also... Last night it loaded things onto her desktop... "free online dating", "cheap holiday travel" and a few others...

So my question is... How do you remove these leeching evil satanspawned hellspewing twisted programs?

Also, is the standard windows firewall sufficient or is it advicable to go for another one?

All help highly appreciated. It is a warzone out here.

try running your antivirus and antispyware with your computer in safe mode.

download and run spybot s & d, and ad-aware se personal free edition......they work great, and as far as firewalls go, windows firewall is pretty useless, get a hardware firewall.

peace

Firewalls only stop unwanted traffic, not bad traffic that you request. In other words, a firewall will not stop you from getting hosed due to a bug in the way windows processes a web page that you visit... but it will stop you from getting hosed due to a bug in the way windows handles network traffic (assuming you are using a hardware firewall). A firewall will also not prevent you from downloading and running an infected program.
