got some nasty computer viruses, help!

[DenZel]

laptop has some nasty viruses atm.

Downloaded AGA anti-virus, which got rid of a few but didnt fix the problem.

Any good FREE anti virus programs that find AND remove the spyware/trojan/virus crap that i have on there.

links?
sites?
programs?

IF all else fails will have to re-format i guess which i dont want to do. ( or should say my mate doesnt want to do)

cheers.

try malware gets rid of spyware n shiz pretty good

[mehow2g]

Try "SuperAntiSpyware" sounds dodgy/cheap but yeah it really does the job.

If it's really that much of a problem

FORMAT (as you mentioned) - staying up and trying to figure shit out is the biggest headfuck. reinstalling windows doesn't really take that long if you got all your software and shit - i suppose if you got an external hdd (because you're using a laptop..you won't have another HDD on the setup) you could backup all your shit on that. No reason not to format.

I've used Spybot - search and destroy!

but in all honesty, if the computer is playing up that much, just start again with a clean windows.


then use avast and stop visiting "dodgy websites"
;)

Spybot gets disabled by most spyware nowdays

Grab MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Jesse.... works a treat

windows update first

download cleanup, cc cleaner, spybot, kasperspy,

update all of these then restart your computer in safe mode (WITHOUT networking)

run all of these programs and then boot the computer back in normal windows.

hopefully that should fix your problem

if not just format it :P

there is about 4 REALLY hardcore malware virus's going round at the moment, At watercorp we are battling these like every day.

Use MALWAREBYTES

google it.

it will remove whatever you had and its the BEST defence against malware/virus's

[DenZel]

kind of worked, but still wont let me go on the net

i had the "vista security virus tool", among others which i think is still cuasing the problem.

[schnoods]

Spybot is good.

Also AdAware is good too.

[shifted]

Spybot S&D
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool
NOD32 Smart Security Suite
AVG

Run all that, and then trash your PC anyway and start from a clean install, and have these programs installed from the get go.

Don't mean to hijack but...

Ive just gotten one recently. Had some asain dude speaking thru my computer speakers was freaky as fuck. The above products still scanning...

One of the things that Ive across is tho when HiJackThis try's to do something or another program it sais i'm not admin on the account where there is only one total account on the computer and it is admin... Wierd?

Check my thread from not too long ago. Works a treat :)

HiJack This is good, especially if you know how to read the reports etc.

Gladio, are you running Vista, XP or Windows 7? Have you got "User Account Control" (UAC) in place? That would stop you having admin even though it says you are.

That Combofix program is fucken awesome too.

TechSupportForum or something like that has people that will tell ya exactly what to do if you post them a HiJack This report, and will tell you exactly how to use stuff like ComboFix etc. Pretty good for free info and shit.
