I used both Ad-aware se and trend micros virus and spyware checks, and while they detected them and said they removed them... they havent. I really dont want to reformat my computer as it will take me forever to get shit back on it. Ive tried system restore and it fails every time... just wondering if anyone knows and good free virus check site that might possibly take care of this very serious problem?

My computer often goes down on me. Thats why i keep it around. It is the only thing i can get to go down on me j/k :dance:
I use NORTON anti-virus. 50$ per year.
dai*ma:stoned:

goto www.grisoft.com and download AVG Free anti virus it 100% free and updates for free unlike mcafee or norton. do it quick it saved my comp from trojans

Ahahahha... funny... :)

search eztrust antivirus on google.

here's what you do:
try to partition your drive into 3 seperate partitions.
shut down everything and power down your computer.
unplug all connections (pwr cable, keyboard, monitor, usb's, etc).
physically pick up the tower...
throw it out the nearest open window...
... and go buy a mac.

not to make light of your prob., and i know macs will eventually start having to deal w/ these issues (4-6 yrs), but for now i'm just so happy that the only trojans i have to deal w/ are on my willy.

These are all good suggestions, but you'll need a lot more than the odd program mentioned here or there. So, before you format, here's some advice -(taken from an anti-malware document I created, which I can send to anybody who wants the whole thing, my e-mail's in my sig).

Before running anything, go into START>right click MY COMPUTER>PROPERTIES>SYSTEM RESTORE tab>disable system restore. otherwise system restore can save backups of viruses which can just reinstall themselves after being removed upon next start-up.

go into Internet explorer (if you can, doesn't matter if it's web-connected) and click Tools> Internet Options > Delete Cookies and Delete Files (and click delete all offline content)

Now go into Control Panel> Ad/Remove Programs, and look for "180 search solutions", "180 solutions", or anything around that name and remove it.

Run this:

http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm (online malware scanner)

Then after downloading and updating the following programs (or which ever ones you can get) - restart your system and press F8 every couple seconds until a black screen with options comes up. then select "safe mode" and run the anti-virus programs.

http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ this is an essential, excellent for getting spyware especially (may miss some of the more tricky trojans though, but still totally worth it).

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5
www.free-av.com (turn off automatic protection upon installation so as to avoid program conflicts)

these last two are good for strictly virus-hunting, won't do much (if anything) for spyware and adware.

Then after running these, restart your system and download Hijack This at

http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3...ml?tag=lst-0-1

then do a scan, copy the log, and post it here and I'll tell you what to remove.

btw, tell me if your hijacked desktop has "www.smart-security. info" or "slimshield", both are the same piece of extremely nasty hijackers, hence why I broke the smart-security link. DON'T EVER go to that site!

best torrents about..... www.torrentspy.com i use bitcomet to dl these,,,, neva once had any shit happen to me! ;)

Good luck wit trogans!

download and run hijack this,save a log and post it,I will inform you of what to do with the results...

I use AVG Free and it is very good,but you need it running to catch the virus,so install it when your fixed up...

I never had to reformat after a virus attack and you should not have to either...
Reinstalling is a biatch!!!

thanks for the help guys. I really wish I had read Mrdevious's post before I reformatted my computer. I coincidentally did disable system restore and did run a few anti-virus programs in safe mode. While it helped a bit, my computer was still pretty fucedk. My entire internet stopped working right after I made that post last night, so I just said fuck it and reformatted. Always have used bit comet for bittorrent downloads, and I usually stick to 3 torrent sites, couldn't find what i was looking for and tryed searching on google, that was a mistake lol. But anyway, thanks for all your help guys, ended up reformatting anyway, just finished installing and updating all of my drivers.
