You’ll need to do an entire system virus scan. Try using http://www. eset. com / online / scan first, then download and install lavasoft ad-aware (use google to find it) and run it after the anti-virus scan is complete. This should remove the threats; Hope this helps
Normally your malware programs will delete these gremlins. However, you should be aware that a lot of viruses, spyware & adware sit in RAM, the registry and System Restore and because of System Restore will return even after deleting or re-booting. Removing can be a little time consuming but thankfully not impossible. Yes there are many web sites offering solutions for the removal of different gremlins but try this first. First of all turn off System Restore. This can be Achieved by going to? Start? >? My Computer? >? Properties? > Open the? System Restore? tab then enable? Turn off System Restore on all drives? > Click apply> click ok. Now re-boot your computer in Safe Mode? (Achieved by pressing F8 during boot Continually up) this will Prevent the Majority of malware from kicking off at this time. It is at this point you should run your anti-virus and anti spyware and anti adware software and delete or quarantine any viruses or spies found. Re-boot your computer in normal mode and complete another virus check. If your system is now reported as being clean – don t forget to turn on System Restore?. Who cares who dares?
do one thing use yahoo anti spy dats on ur top toolbar use dat ni hope it wil help u a lot. . . . .
If You Dont have internet, Try to Restore Your Computer with System Restore (Start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools>>) Try to uninstall any new software installed before the problem right click on Internet Explorer> Properties> ;> Delete Files, Delete Cookies and Clear HistoryGo to Windows Temp directory and delete all files inside. Documents & Settings> “Your User Name”> Local Setting (This folder is hidden)>> Clear all files in Temp, Temporary Internet Files & History.
The FIRST thing to do is DISABLE System Restore. If enabled, this Allows malware to hide in the computer and re-install itself. To disable it, then RIGHT click-on “My Computer.” Select “Properties” under the ‘System Restore’ tab, check ‘Turn off system restore’ IF not already checked. The next most helpful things that would help you are to use ONLINE scanners from websites to remove any malware on your PC. The current best online scanners I prefer are from Kaspersky antivirus and Bitdefender antivirus. Together, these 2 scanners will find ALL the bad stuff on your PC because they have the BEST detection rate. First, use Kaspersky’s. (FYI: ALL these scans require you to agree to a EULA and install an activex control Which is needed to perform the scan, so agree to them all) * NOTE: Some scanners ONLY work with IE or may not fully remove malware http: / / www. kaspersky. com / virus scanner then scan with: http://www. bitdefender. com/scan8/ie. html there are MANY other good online scanners Which You may choose to also use (which will take longer but Ensure safety): http://onecare. live. com / site / en-us / default. htm (Windows Live Onecare) http://www. a-squared. com / en / software / ax / (A-squared scanner) http://www. ewido. net / en / online / scan (ewido) http://www. ca com / scan us / security advisor / pest /. aspx (spyware scan) http://www. ca com / us / security advisor / virus info / scan. aspx (virus scan) http://www. pandasecurity. com / home users / solutions / active / scan (Panda Antivirus) http://www. HouseCall. TrendMicro. com / (TrendMicro) http://www. eset. com / online / scan (NOD32) http://support. f-secure. com / enu / home / ols. shtml (F-secure) After using these, it’s ESSENTIAL to install at least three anti spywares. Thurs conflict NOT use more than one antivirus or firewall as they. The best things in life are FREE, and great free software can be found @: Super Anti Spyware. com (Super anti spyware FREE) lavasoft. com (Ad-aware SE) squared. com (A-squared FREE) safer-networking. org (Spybot S & D) java cool software. com (SpywareBlaster) microsoft. com (Windows Defender) free-av. com (Avira AV), SiteAdvisor. com (Tells you how safe websites are) phoenix labs. org (Blocks malware, government anti-p2p org’s) ZoneAlarm. com (Top Notch firewall) comodo. com (Another Top Notch firewall) iobit. com (Advanced Windows Care) Eusing. com (registry cleaner) ccleaner. com (Junk file cleaner) Now if you can afford it, the best software to BUY are: Spy Sweeper (VERY much worth the $ $ $) Security Task Manager Norton Internet SecurityKaspersky (BEST! = D) Bitdefender F-(2nd BEst!) secure (Same as Kaspersky) LinkScanner file (Blocks exploits in real time) Advanced UninstallerIf there’s ever ONE file you suspect is infected, you can try some single file scanners Which use MULTIPLE engines to scan ONE. They are @ VirusScan. Jotti. org or VirusTotal. comIf you’re PC is squeaky clean, re-enable system restore because it IS good to have but we needed to shut it off to wipe out the malware. Just RIGHT-click on “My Computer.” Select “Properties” then under the ‘System Restore’ tab, UN-check “Turn off System Restore.” * Another thing to consider is using another browser besides Internet Explorer. It has a lot of security holes, making it less safe. I prefer Firefox from Mozilla. org. It’s easy to use, FAST, and has a lot of neat little add-ons you can toy around with. It is also safer from exploits than IE * As always, things will vary. I just hope the best for everybody. I’m bound to get some jealous thumbs-down but there’s only one way to find things out — try it! Keep an UPDATED Antivirus, Antispyware, & firewall and things will be fine. And always browse wisely. As a side note, please email me any / all websites you got the infection from or if any are popping up or hijacking you so I can help further security software’s measures. Sometimes you may get a NEW and Unknown malware and I can submit it to be blacklisted / investigated to security companies. Hope I was able to help. If I have, please consider returning & leaving a nice comment and “Best Answer” to whomever you thinks deserves it. .
