    Re: Virus help

    I ran combofix and it deleted the viruses but now everything is messed up
    Edit:
    lucky me that windows had made an automatic system check just before I downloaded the virus lol.

    I could restore to that point without loosing too much data

    Also...I recommend going to start>run. Then type msconfig, it will load a configuration window, select startup, and see if it is in there, if it is, untick it, reboot, then delete the files and see how that goes, removing it from startup should prevent it from running whenever you reboot.

    Would you possibly take a quick browse through mine?

    If yes, I will PM it to you??

    Vigge---Umm..before starting ani virus hunt back up everything near amd dear to you off the computer..if the virus is aggressive the payload it may deliver when you attempt to remove it is to hose your windows files.
    Also..after that the very next thing to do is DISABLE SYSTEM RESTORE!@!!! VIRUSES HIDE IN RESTORE POINTS!! this is how they seem to magically come back asfter having been supposedly "cleaned"--Combofix is good to run if you are on a 64 bit platform--SDfix if you are on 32bit.
    Download Malwarebytes free anti malware program--rename the executeable as some viruses will keep it from running. also try A-Squared free and SuperAntiSpyware. once the system is cleaned install Avira AntiVir
