spybot is very good however i think u might have a virus not spyware or malware but its worth a try if you can download it

I had the same problem and could not find an answer anywhere,
Then someone suggested a small piece of software called

MALWAREBYTES

If you can get hold of that and put it on a dongle then start your PC in SAFE MODE
Once done run the MALWAREBYTES from the dongle and that should erase den the most vicious of viruses or worms.

Hope this helps.

By the way, the dig shat that gets a kick from creating and releasing these worms should be crushed in a bin wagon and their remains fed to pigs!

Jinjer, mels has suggested that you do a full systems scan as she takes it you can get on line, link www.f-secure.com/en_UK/security/ ... e-scanner/ this should tell you what you are dealing with, spybot will deal with virus that it detects and remove but if you need to get Avast on to block incoming viruses www.avast.com/en-gb/index hope this helps bud

Also if you have more than one user account on the machine you should be able to log onto the Admin account without the Virus affecting you.

Once you have done this you should be able to delete the account where the virus seems to be located.

What ive found with the "Security Tool" virus, it is more user based rather than system based. You should be able to get a microsoft application called procexp.exe, this is a more indepth version of task manager and you could delete the virus from thre.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Snowie/Tigersteve but no good yet,it won't let me download a thing so can't do a scan or download anything to rid me of it.Gonna try the Clan's idea next then unfortunately it's gonna be a cease of re-formatting my HD.The crafty gets are even stopping me copying my files to my external HD!!!

not even letting do a full systems scan ?

Nope,the page freezes.
Someone else has suggested what the Clan said so i'm gonna try that this aft!!
Thanks Snowie.

do you think its with share music files, if so stick to vinyl



there is another option

Don't think it's music files,can't even remember what I was lookin at!
That might be it,got a vinyl stuck in my hard drive!!!!

Jinjer,

Are you anywhere near Lupset?
If so I have the MALWAREBYTES and AVG on a stick and will meet you to get this sorted.

That would be fantastic mate,could meet one evening next week,i'm on stupid shifts so it would be awkward this week,but monday dinner onwards would be fantastic,much appreciated!

Pm me on Monday evening and we'll get it sorted, I'm at University untill about 6pm but any time after that

Anti Malware Bytes, (think someone else mentioned it too) it's good at clearing annoying virus and spyware. Try booting from a boot cd or live cd if you've got one, something like UBCD4WIN and downloading Anti MalwareBytes, or get someone else to download it for you.

It might be worth getting a boot cd to keep for emergencies if you haven't got one.

It's actually called MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware

FWIW BTW FTW

Ran this today for the first time - it found 577 infections!



Blasted the lot and now I'm just going to do some de-fragging and deleting a few cookies.... it's all too scary for me!

just doing mine to see if there's any that not been picked up from spyware and avast and 25 in total, most of them are tracking cookies and are harmless

I ran mine and got something called facethefuture.nimby!

apparently its a particularly nast worm that acts like a virus and infects as many other files as it can in the hope of shutting down your programmes.

Needless to say I took great pleasure in eradicating the little B'stard

Out of those 577 infections 262 of those would'nt be ambernotyellow would they?.

Would Rhinobilly be one of those cookies you are going to delete?

Mine's up and virus/spyware free,a big thanks to everyone who attempted to help me,thanks especially to the Clan who pointed me in the right direction,no more looking at wedding planner websites for me!!!

Wedding planning is easy :
1) Book registry office
2) Invite a couple of witnesses and/or friends & family
3) Go to the pub
4) Go to the registry office and do the paperwork
5) Go for fish & chips / a curry (this wedding meal is optional)
6) Go to the pub.
Don't need a website for that.

Nothing wrong with cutting corners and saving a few bob

its not the ting tong wedding planner websites is it

No,it's not my cup of Thai!!
