If it's telling you to install anti-spyware stuff and is giving you a link, I would say don't click it or install anything it tells you to. Maybe kind of obvious I know, but still, it could be tempting.


You don't have Norton antivirus do you? That's normally pretty good.

Adaware is excellent-

I also use AVG Free, also excellent and doesn't take up huge resources like Norton-

Look at all you poor PC people using all your computer resources running Nortons, antispyware and what not.
I find it funny that people will not just accept the superiority of Macs.

Windows is a bigger target and mac os x has had quite a few flaws that have needed patching nice try though.

Not as much as windows because less people use it.

k everyone shutup about macs!

apparently this virus or whatever is called "trojan" something. I stole norton from my parents house and installed it, that made things a little better but didnt fix everything (i still get a popup window from a phony security company saying i have 200000 viruses and to download their software)

norton no longer detects anything, that kaspersky thing doesnt detect anything anymore and occasionally my computer screen will turn blue saying "a virus has been detected windows is restarting to prevent any further damage"

if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appreciate them and thanks a lot to everyone who has tried to help so far

get malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Thats a very good program.

Also use the free online scan at bitdefender.com


The phony pop up AV program sounds very similar to the Vundo trojan.

Do a google search for Vundo Fix... there is a great specialty app for removing it.

The other thing I would do is (if possible) run all of these apps in Safe Mode with Networking. It is alot easier to remove things when there aren't running.

will it be affective even if the virus i have isnt Vundo Trojan exactly? I probably should have mentioned when i boot up my computer it does a phony virus scan with a phony prgram called antivirus xp 2008 then tells you theres 20000 viruses to try and scare you. it also changed my desktop wallpaper to a spyware warnig message and wont allow me to change it back. still sound like vundo?

and thatnks a lot ok

Unless you're computer savvy, take your computer to one of those "geek squad" peoples (at like Best Buy or Circuit City) FAST!!!

sounds like you downloaded something that had the virus embedded in it so the damage is done and that "blue screen of death" will happen more and more frequently until your computer won't turn on at all.

that's what happened to me and the tech on the phone just "fixed" it by wiping out EVERYTHING on my computer  Cry

the "geek squad" can usually save your stuff and only remove the virus so IMO it's worth the cost

IMO those anti-virus programs are useless to people like me who are NOT computer savvy because they don't actually stop you from downloading harmful shit.  They only ask you if you're sure you want to continue and usually they phrase it where I have no clue what they're talking about.  no
