You can try going through these general malware removal steps, but at this point, you probably would be best served by getting guided help at one of the specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of places. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware PLEASE DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS. http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip http://aumha.net/ - Click on the HijackThis forum.

help needed - windows xp problems - viruses trojans
Ron, download, install and update, then scan with Malwarebytes, and Spybot
Search & Destroy. Do all the work in Safe Mode with Networking, if you are being denied access to particular sites by the Trojans. And, throw away any Registry programs! They do more harm then good. Also, update and scan with AVG while there. All info below. http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program. Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it. Then SCAN with it. Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover! For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from Download.com, or Major Geeks.com Download, install, and update. Important Safe Mode If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot the computer, and go into Safe Mode. To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER. RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D while in Safe Mode. If unable to install above Programs in Normal Mode: Sometimes Trojans, Viruses, Malware, etc stop you installing and/or updating Programs to remove them. If that happens, reboot into Safe Mode with Networking, and install, update and scan from there. -- Mad Mike "ron" wrote: Hi guys, having a few problems with my pc since yesterday - had a blaster attack of viruses and trojans.
