I have a computer virus can somone help?

Question

the type is spyware/trojan

Answer 1

1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, CA, ad aware, spyhunter, spy blaster, or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.
2nd, You need some of the best software out there. Norton Systemworks is very good. That's the only good software from Norton. Don't get Internet security, its not that great. Now the best software you should get is Spysweeper with Anti-virus, this software is too good and gets better everyday. It blocks over 170,600 threats. No other software can compete with that or come close for that matter. I've used them all and it is 2nd to none.
3rd, after you install and update the software, since its in your system you will have to turn off system restore and then go into safe mode and run the scan and eliminate the virus. then after removal, reboot and turn system restore back on.
4th, any probs during or after you do all this, send me an e-mail.

Answer 2

You no doubt have Windows, correct?
There are two solutions, temporary and permanent:
1. Temporary Go to www.majorgeeks.com and download some free avtivir and spyware removers, such as AdAware, AVG. Run them after you update them.
2. Get rid of That Virus Magnet Windows and get a good open source operating system instead, such as kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org

You can run a free online scan from CA.

However some viruses require special tools to remove them. If you post the name of the virus someone may be able to provide you with a removal tools or further instructions.



Edit: Spyware and trojans are 2 different monsters. Run the 2 additional scans below.


Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/...... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.

Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw...



Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....




Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html...

SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.

It's main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
