help with virus needed

[DaisyChain]

Erm wiping your drive is a bit excessive auctiongroup........

Although hopefully this issue has been resolved now, using the programs eddieitman suggested is great, however id recomend running any anti-spyware program in "safe mode", .

If you ever get a pop up stating "you have a virus," etc or "your system needs a check up", just close them, usually poo



and cushtydeals, a system restore may not work, as a high number of troijans, viruses, spyware etc, put a file into your system restore folder, and basically everytime you restore, the virus does too

Hi There,

It may be worth trying McAfee Avert Stinger:

Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist users when dealing with an infected system.

Download it from this address:

http://vil.nai.com/VIL/STINGER/

Once you have downloaded it you simply run it and it will search out Trojans, Worms and Viruses.

I found it very useful when I had a similar experience to you.

Good luck with it )

Best wishes
