try multiple different virus checkers.....download free ones if you have to

Try running a mixture of AVG, Panda, WebRoot, Spyware Doctor, and Kaspaersky trials. Time-consuming, but thorough and should be able to find and treat most viruses.

Taking it to a computer shop to fix it o hope , ya I know I will have to pay for a service that is free. But. Rather get it done right then fumbling around to figure out windows machines but that is what I want to do.

Live ubuntu cd, install while in live environment the virus scanner (clam av) and scan,
later on with avast linux AV (needs a free key)

Saying "dont get your computer infected" is asking you to do the impossible when its connected to the internet, even if it is not connected, a virus can transfer over from a storage medium that you plug into the computer, Viruses happen, its just part of the IT world.

As Usaden said, try a mix of anti virus programs till you get one that can quarinteen or remove the virus.


(a virus is the product of an infected file, if you remove a virus, the infected file spawns the virus again, thats why most times you run an anti virus checker it will "quarinteen" the virus rather than remove it, by doing so, it seals off the virus so that it can do no harm, and prevents the infected file from spawning the virus again)

Atleast thats how a knowlegable IT college lecturer explained it to me.

Best of luck hun *nuzzles*

I have some info about the debugging anti virus stuff to fix my computer but I
TAking it to the shop in town to get it fix -- I hope, thanks for the help though

Then do a fulll scan.

Then install Avast after alll your PC is clean.

Heard a lot about this -- though I don't want to mess it I'm taking computer to a shop, ya I will probably pay but I don't care about that

Thanks for the confirmation intel

FFFFFFFFFFFFUCK what intel says Dx

I'm CISCO and IT essentials D: I'm supposed to be paid to fix PCs :<

i meant intel - like the military term

and it clean i hope my dad actually did XD, now just for a hard scrubbing

Oh ok

The answer ias easy. Cleans your computer with fira, specifically Zera's flame. XD

Get malware bytes for the future, its a great program.

Oh no! (although at that same time 'phew' I thought you were talking sickie virus when I saw the title)

If it's a popup trying to trick you into dling or buying crap, usually you can plug the name into google and it'll come up with removal instructions, they usually revolve around using safe mode to deactivate it and specifically removing the malware program itself

If it's cutting off your access to programs, the above will probably work, start your pc in safe-mode and hunt through the folders for a suspiciously named file and delete it

Have you tried a system restore? (use the help & support button in your start menu for how to restore and safemode)

If you do end up taking it to the shop, make sure you shop around a bit. When mine broke one option was to go to PC World and pay £200 for them to 'Look' at it, then I'd have to pay extras for anything they actually did. After a little hunting I found a corner shop that looked at it for £20, fixed it straight away if the total cost came to less than £50 and rang me to get an ok first if it would have cost more than £50.


Hope you fix it, and I'm still glad you've got your health

Those programs that "automaticly download and say you have a virus IS THE VIRUS don't accept them and delete the program, there was a huge danger for Macintosh there not long ago, with the same warning... its a spam antivirus like a popup from the internet to get you to buy there program to "delete" a non exsitant virus on your pc

its a spybot on your pc, built by some third party company to trick you on getting the program, the moment it starts to "scan" your pc it's too late... you need to wipe your harddrive since your original anti-virus will absolutely not work as this malware anti-virus damages that program...

est stuff to clear crap out of your pc is running Malware bytes first! BE SURE TO RUN IT IN SAFE MODE!!! malware bytes works best when windows is not running as it clears the sub system that the windows operating system sits on!

then get Avast! do the same thing put windows in safe mode so the program can search deeper in the system also takes less time!

this is how we take care of PC at were i work in the computer lab

That sucks.
