Virus problem, pleas help ASAP
« on: July 09, 2010, 03:52:17 PM »
Ok me and my computer have a huge issue with viruses

This current situation is really annoying me
when i got on my computer this was the scene
22 Internet explorer tabs were opened, all pornography
This fake antivirus is on my system, saying things like google update is infected, and trying to get me to sign up for something to block a supposed '34 viruses'.  It keeps sending me alerts about it too.

This same thing happened a while back with fake antivirus software sending me alerts, except without the Porn.
Whenever my real antivirus tells me internet explorer has problems, i get re routed to the fake anti viruses's site.

This is what I did
I ran a boot time scan, and for those who don't know it scans your computer before it starts, i did two full time scans and actually found some trojans and got ridda them. But i cant seem to get rid of this crap, please assist.

Also i should mention this virus whenever i google anything, usually re-routes me to a website i'd imagine is a malicious url, but for a lot of 'em my virus protection thats actually real blocks them

Um I had that issue to. You using Vista? Cause this is the SECOND TIME I've gotten a fake virus trying to get me to buy something useless. I can't really be much help, cause after a few days of shutting it down via the power button my computer decided to fix itself by doing a restore of the system. If you can get to SYSTEM RESTORE and restore it back to a point before, try that. Other wise people have suggested for me to back up EVERYTHING, the over haul the computer by uninstalling vista and upgrading to Windows 7.

Pretty much just keep on shutting down the computer unexpectedly, if your computer is good it should remove the Fake virus on it's own. Hopefully. If not find a college student who's a MASSIVE COMPUTER GEEK! They are very useful to have as friends. Wish I could be more help. Once the fake virus is removed you can then get rid of the porn stuff which sounds like a real virus.

Seems like the other people might have already solved it but.....
First I tried using IObit security 360, didn't do much.
Then I used HiJackThis which usually helps, it didn't work for me but it usually does help.
Then I searched "Fake antivirus remover* on google and found something that worked!

But all three of those things have the potential to work.

Gabag try rebooting your computer in safe mode then run your antivirus program that should keep the virus from interfering with the scan and removal i just got rid of that same virus about two months ago

If you manage to turn off your computer without shutting it down, your computer will give you the option to boot up in several "safe" modes or to boot up normally. I would not recommend turning off your computer this way, but it is the more well-known methods. As for normally going into safe-mode, I do not quite remember on the options for that.

I prefer to use NOD32, Malwarebytes, and CCleaner in combination. Clears out viruses, the special trojans, and then cleans the registry.
