Ok, I am REALLY pissed off. Thanks to my dad who decided to click on a pop up, we now have a pop up that occurs every minute or so in Firefox with some random ad. Now I've scanned the computer on all profiles with the LATEST updates of Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search and Destry, immunized and quanrantined everything and raped every file in the whole computer. To no avail. Norton AV 2005 deleted all the bad files except the one thats bothering me...I can't even delete it manually. I edited the code in it but I can't save it...mother----ed. Gonna have to format. WHY IS LIFE SO HARD?! WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS!?
lol my dads that way too, if a popup comes up when im showing him something on my comp he will freak out and say wtf is that! then usually click on it and flip out on me when it leads to 20 more pop ups lol....
press f8 to get into safe mode and usually you can delete it manually there. you should also do online virus scan at trendmicro.housecall.com once you get rid of problem.
lol master always directing people towards avast ha. who do you work for! lol j/k j/k mate. yeah avast is great, u might also want to look into zone alarm security suite ... i havnt had a virus since last november than made me reformat... or ruin anything on my comp.
k, here is what you do in this order exactly check startup programs, run>>"msconfig" turn off system restore and restart in safe mode f8(or just restart while windows is loading) run every virus scan known to mankind and reinstal firefox. do as many windows updates as possible reformat your harddrive install linux or solrais congrats, no more viruses.
Started in safe made, re-raped every file and THE MOTHER----ING THING STILL ----ING POPS UP! I'll try avast and resintall Firefox FTW.
Press Contol Alt Delete and then go to Processes, find the ad program in there and go to End Process, hope that helped
