Virus Help

I got a virus via msn (it sends itself) its quite irritating
it makes all the people online pop up and sends itself to them which gets on my nerves
norton anti virus does not pick it up cos it does not see it as a threat
and its slowed down my computer by quite a bit


please help me on ways to get rid of it

 

Google helps: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=msn+v...G=Google+Search

 

Go into savemode and just get a new virs scanner from download.com. Did you run Nortons Live Update? The latest definitions have something like that. I read them.

 

<-- look a handy smily that says google!

Seen this b4 m8 not hard to fix.

 

could be some malware... try a squared free, helped alot of stuff mcafee and norton dont detect..... and eh, there a very possible chance its just severe spyware thats re editied your msn software :unsure:

clay

 

or it could just be the msn virus that every1 gets from msn, j/k bro lol

but make sure u have the latest definitions for nortan

 

there was a virus like that on aim it goes "check out my pictures", and if u click it u get a virus, then it msg every1 on ur list with the link.

 

1. get Avast (http://avast.com) and get the home version. the file you download has the latest Anti-virus database. run a boot-time scan (it will ask you after you install it), it will scan all your folders and memory before the virus has a chance to start.

2. backup and re-install. if avast can't kill it, nothing can.

3. If the first two don't work, burn your hard drive, or blow it up...

look for homescan


And 1st chance you get lose norton.

 

Yeah, what {DRB}LOGAN said:

I forgot to mention this earlier, but NORTON SUKS ARSE! Man, even Nod32, Avast, or others will detect viruses before Norton even knows it's there..

 

True norton sux i hate it - never found no viruses with it whereas i use mcafee and works perfect and along with MS AntiSpyware tool it works 100% great I forgot how i removed the MSN virus from my friends but this is a old virus. Download MS AntiSpyware tool andanother decent antivirus software called ZoneAlarm which is free. Works quite decent as well or AVG from grisoft.com. Get also adaware as well but recommend getting MS AntiSpyware

 

Zonealarm is good, but don't try BitTorrent with it, it bitches up everything.

Another good firewall is Sygate, also free.
