Post subject:  Spyware and other nice things
So yeah, i got back from ohio yesterday only to find out my computer is fucked up.

I got on and started playing cz, while browsing fpsbanana, and a pop up came up. It was something called svchost and it wanted connection to my computer.

I figured that this was just CZ so i allowed it (that's what i did wrong cause im stupid and i didn't actually read it). so 5 seconds later all this other shit comes up askning for connection, and my desktop backround changed to a message that read

"Warning! Your computer has Spyware! install an antivirus or spyware remover."

I've tried to system restore but all of the system restore points were gone, i couldnt change to previous months and the only point is the current day.

I've also tried downloading some spyware removers but they just scan for them, not remove them. This is where i found out that i have a lot of other problems on my computer (something like 9 sources and 328 infections)

So all I'm asking is that if anybody knows how to completely remove all of my viruses and spyware.

Help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks all

Get AVG (free) and scan it.

Whilst your doing so check out your process' in task manager. Look for any suspicious .exe's that you've never seen before and google them. See which ones come up as a virus.


If I were in your situation though I'd completely reformat. Back up my needed data (e.g. important .docs, music, etc.) and start over fresh. The amount of pain trying to remove it might be easier to start anew.

BTW svchost is not spyware. Its an app from windows.

Yeah, but it wouldn't pop-up and ask itself access to your computer :wink:

I had the Same Problem, But I did Back Up in Time....

In my case, the Smitfraud Trojan had reached the Administrator Level of my Computer, and The virus Disabled Everthing... (TASkmanager, Internet Explorer, My Computer,... Things like that..CMD..)


I mannaged to create a new User in my NotePad.

Quote:
@echo off
net user <user> <Password> /add
exit


(saving as .bat)

It should work sometimes
