Got A Dam Virus!

Ok i got a virus on my computer (its like 3 program things that keep coming up on my main screen that when ever i delete they come back in like 10min) and when i go on msn it talks to people and gives them a link to where virus is ....how do i get it off my computer?

 

I think somebody is hacking your MSN and your computer .

 

Virus scan + turn off the internet for a while. Just to make sure.

 

iduno i think i got rid of it i did the f8 thing when starting up and went into the adminestrator account and deleted it there and i think it worked .....dose anyone know if it will work?

Edit: I have done virus scan but it still dosent work it says it didnt find a virus

 

It depends. Restart your computer, then try doing MSN and whatever was affected again...

Maybe you just unplugged 'em unknowingly, or 'tis a virus/trojan? Just check again, hopefully it passed.

 

if you have norton, it probably won't find it. but for AVG or Avast, run it in safe mode.

in the end, of you cant get rid of it, backup and reformat

 

yeah i really hope it passed and ill try running it in safe mode and see if it works thanks guys for your help

 

it will, if not, you are damned...

 

umm, fresh reinstall

30 misn latert DONE BIATCH

 

Get a virus scanner.

Run a virus scanner.

Post the results.

It is quite possible that the files are hidden somewhere else and when your trying to delete them the virus automatically copies them to your desktop again.

If you need a scanner, I believe AVG is free but I can't remember. Also if you download Google Desktop you get a trial of Notran Anti-virus.

 

black, Norton suks you know what, why even try??

and safe mode is the better way to get rid of viruses that linger in system files, thus cant be removed

 

Yeah i ran escan AntiVirus on save mode but it showed no viruses but i depeted the files that contain the virus in safe mode and now its gone thanks for your help Xmaster

 

I had this, but AIM Based. The virus is called, "Look at Me".

Download AVG & Spybot Search & Destroy.

That should take care of it.

Be sure to update them both before you do.

 

yeah thats the virus but i alreayd got rid of it and everyone watch out for this virus.....i guess its a old virus but iv never heard of it before i got it so just be carfull

 

Norton does not suck, the people who use it and can't be assed to keep it updated give it a bad reputation.
