Virus won't go away

rian222 · Jul 11, 2006, 01:11 AM

I have had some virus problems on my computer now and most are gone. I still keep getting some popups about stuff like WinAntivirusPro. I have done full system scans using Avast, Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Ewido in both regular mode and safe mode. I am still getting problems though, plz help.

Dyre Straits · Jul 11, 2006, 11:22 AM

You may want to do an online free scan to see exactly what virus/es may still be present.

Popups don't necessarily mean you have a virus. It could just be adware.

rian222 · Jul 11, 2006, 02:00 PM

but spybot, ad-aware, and ewido keep dectecting the same things everytime i run them, even though i delete the viruses. How do i run an online scan? Oh, and by virus, i mean adware spyware etc.

Well, then, you don't mean 'virus'. You mean adware, spyware, etc. There's quite a difference between them.

As for detecting the same thing, it's likely due to one of your frequent WEBsites putting it back each time you visit that site.

Download Crap Cleaner [Google for CCleaner] and then run the Cleaner and then the Issues apps. It does an excellent job of cleaning out junk that others leave behind.

Have you tried CWShredder?
http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract..._download.html

Also you can do an online scan at http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner

Edit- Didnt see your other post hehe. Maybe its time for a windows reinstall

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jul 12, 2006, 11:34 AM

Stage one:

make sure you have loaded the lastest spyware blaster, spybot and adaware,
as well as thier program updates.

1) download hijack this
you'll need this.

2) Turn off system restore!!! in you contol panel under system

3) got start, run, type sfc /purgenow
this will cear out file back up by system file protection wich can b used against you
a windows will replace those files if they are deleted or alterd, with the cached version

Stage 2:

Disconnect the internet

Stage3:

2) unpack and run the program
3) choose do a scan and make a log
4) post the log created and let us have a look see or if you think you can figure out
what souldn't be loading by all means check them and do the fix. Of couse you'll be
to be back online to post and recive our responces. in wich just discconect from the
internet before fixing.

5) After you've removed those entries, scan with spybot, and adaware remove all threats
6) reboot, rerun the spybot, and adaware scans and remove anything they detect...
7) open you windows hosts file in a txt editor like notepad. The file can be found
in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc the file name is "hosts" (it has no extension)
inside this file it should only read

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

If there is anything else there delete it and save the file.

8) right click te IE icon on you destop, then click proerties, click th advanced tab ,
then click restore defaults, then go to the secuity tab and make sure it desn't say
"custom" if so just click the defaults butteon after clicking each zone one at a time.
then click apply...

10) reboot, see if you popups are gone, if so re-enable system restore, go in and
create a restore point,

Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore

then goto

Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Disk Cleanup
click more options

under system restore click "clean up"

THat should be it...... connect the internet and cross your fingers

Okay, i am about to do what u guys said. But i have a quick question. Which ones of the resident protections are overkill. I have avast resident, ad-watch resident, spybot resident and teatimer, ewido resident, and i am about to get spyware blaster. Thats a lot of resident protection. Is there any I can safely disable so I dont have so much running at once?

I have the new Microsoft Spyware app installed, Ad-Aware PE, Spybot Search & Destroy.

Then, I do have my physical router w/ its firewall, and a software firewall (not using Windows Firewall).

And, only ONE Virus Program. I don't have but one active at a time. Although, I do have the free AVG to run manually when I choose.

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jul 12, 2006, 01:50 PM

ARG! I don't see anything that jumps out and bites me, do a CTL+ ALT+ DEL
make sure show processes from all users is checked, post a screen shot of
that screen. If it's still showing crap there has to be something running...

technonerd · Jul 12, 2006, 01:56 PM

I suggest you try going to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ for help.

Go to the forum on security section and you'll see Hijack, copy your hijack files and somebody will help ya.

This forum would be the the best place for spyware, virus and some other problem.

Good luck.

Are you clicking the option to automatically resize it? If so, don't.

NOTE: Will be gone for a while....maybe the rest of the day.
