First off hopefully the mods correct your email addy to avoid spambots. Do you have a firewall? If not download one. I recommend outpost http://www.agnitum.com Download NOD32 at http://www.eset.com After you install and update these please report back. They are trials that will expire after about 30 days unless you purchase them at that point.. Thanks, Chris
No problem just don't want ya to get spammed. I'll be here about another 30 min so before work so hopefully well take care of it by then. Thanks, Chris
You can also drop the files you found into http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html and see if any other virus apps find anything. Is anything throwing up alerts on outpost? Thanks, Chris
yea if you goto the site it will have a place where you can browse to the file and submit to many scanners at the same time. Thanks, Chris
According to your posts you downloaded and installed and updated outpost and NOD32 and scanned with NOD32 in 7 minutes? You did install both of them right? Thanks, Chris
download those apps, they are free and should be on everyones computer. free adaware link free spybot link microsoft antispyware install them and let them update. then reboot and before login menu begins/appears, press F8 several times till you get the option safe boot, choose safe boot and let everything load. then let spybot, adaware and m asw run and fix what they find. report what they find, will clean it further. cheers.
You might like to try following the comprehensive steps found in General Cleaning. If these steps do not resolve your situation, you will need to download and run “Hijack This” found here and post your log at one of the forums found at A-SAP. The two bigger forums for HijackThis log processing, (meaning they process more log threads each day than most others) are: SpywareInfo.com and CastleCops.com. Be sure to read their posting policy in the links at their log review forum sections prior to posting. The steps mentioned in General Cleaning use software that ought to be part of your security, as an absolute minimum. Once your system is clean, you may want to take a look here for further discussion on security and how to make your system that much stronger and here for more. This is what works really well for me, very simple to use and maintain. Hope this helps... Let us know how you go. Cheers
