DL'ed AVG the other day but it doesnt seem to be able to get it off either but ill try turning off system restore. ran the malwarebyte and it came up with a few and deleted them but its still messing up right now so i guess those are not the ones i knew about lol.

just tried to turn off system restore and it said it had an error and to reboot and try turning it off again.

If it'll allow you, install it from safe mode.

There is one of your problems.

yeah i know i should use firefox. once this is fixed im gonna start.
really no cliffs, it started acting funny few weeks ago when i couldnt burn cd's or dvds anymore but didnt think anything of it til it started redirecting my browser and stupid stuff like that. every antivirus ive tried so far doesnt seem to help. if i cant get it off im just gonna reload after i get the files i need off of it.

Starting Windows in safe mode (usually by repeatedly pressing F8 at bootup) and running a malwarebytes scan has never failed me.

jeffsciv23 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 05, 2010, 12:39:10 PM »

ill do that now, thanks

and try google chrome instead of FF it seems faster and i havent had any "real" glitches

though you lose toolbars without getting a plug in for them

I use Chrome but it seems to be a fucking memory hog, although I admit I haven't used FF lately to compare it to.

Often with my normal number of tabs open (around 10), all the Chrome processes account for 2-4GB of ram used $:-\$ Possibly it just has great resource management and uses as much ram as possible without slowing the PC down, but it's kind of odd to see a single Chrome process using over 1GB of ram...

Either way. I like how minimalist the UI is and how fast it runs. It's never slowed my PC down so will keep using it. Chrome would be the "safer" bet over FF and IE.

ok so that didnt work lol. oh well looks like i gotta get my driver disks together for the reload

C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe

Delete those 4 and you won't have to worry about the virus. Mainly because.......

Yes, which is why he didn't finish the sentence...

Pretty obvious what winlogon is for

I use Chrome but it seems to be a fucking memory hog, although I admit I haven't used FF lately to compare it to.

Often with my normal number of tabs open (around 10), all the Chrome processes account for 2-4GB of ram used $:-\$ Possibly it just has great resource management and uses as much ram as possible without slowing the PC down, but it's kind of odd to see a single Chrome process using over 1GB of ram...

Either way. I like how minimalist the UI is and how fast it runs. It's never slowed my PC down so will keep using it. Chrome would be the "safer" bet over FF and IE.

I prefer Opera 10.6 no memory issues. ;D

Did you download something immborn posted up?

I have 8GB of ram, so don't really care how much it uses. I know it uses a separate process for each tab. It being webkit-based browser is one of its primary selling points. Either way, there seems to be entirely too much overhead. A single web-page shouldn't need 100+ MB of RAM along, even including the browser

Fuck Opera.

Remember just like herpes if you do not see outbreaks you will still have to take your medicine. ;D

Go there, get it and use it. If you can't burn cds you will need to use another computer to get it.

It and the tools it has makes getting rid of some of this stuff MUCH easier. Unless you are good with a wipe and reinstall.

It works completely off the CD and makes a RAM drive to work off of. Since it runs completely separately from your windows install it gets by alot of the bullshit that the virus and spyware people fuck you with.
