wear a condom next time!

DL malwarebytes, boot into safe mode and run it.

I suggest AVG Free once you get rid of the STD's.

If that don't get it, download combofix from bleepingcomputer.com

Yes, love Malwarebytes. do it in safe mode as well. Boot the pc up and after the BIOS screen hit F8 until you get the prompt and select Safe mode. then run your scan.

Afterwards i usually like to clean up the temp files and such. i use one of 2 tools to do this either Cleanup or ATF cleaner.

Hey guys, Well woke up today & went to check out if anybody responded on here. Well instead it said im not connected to the internet. So i went and checked my settings or whatever and i didnt have a IP Address im like okay WTF. So i tried to repair it and i can because of having no IP Adress. So i call up insight and everything was working fine comming from them so the Dude helpped me do a few things in RUN and still NOTHING

so he said im going to need my computer looked at because it sounds like some CARD WENT OUT . to be honest i think theirs gotta be a way around it rather then having to pay money out to have my computer looked at ...ANY IDEAS... - Oh i also have a few other computers i dont use anymore if that CARD hes talking about is BAD can i just use one out of a different computer. This shit sucks not haveing the internet at home im using my stepdads computer right now.

Might be a network card?

Exactly how is this box hooked up to the net?

jhonda · « **Reply #8 on:** December 08, 2011, 06:10:50 PM »

I think thats what he called it , The Network Card. & its just the modem straight to the computer.

If you have a network card in another box, swap them out.

I had a similar problem. The virus actually deleted the portion in windows that allowed my computer to automatically set an IP address. If you can manually put in the necessary IP you should be able to connect to the internets again. Otherwise, get malwarebytes on a thumb drive from a friends computer and also go get combofix from bleepingcomputer.com . Run malwarebytes off the thumb drive then run combofix. Those two should fix your problems. However, if the virus did remove the portion that allows windows to automatically pick IP address you'll have to reinstall windows. Not necessailly wipe everything and reinstall it but you should be able to reinstall it and still keep everything else in place.

How do you know when someone goes to the scummiest places on the interwebs? They post shit like this.

Often the malware will fuck with your hosts file or worse so you are directed to get more malware or to wherever they collect ad revenue from.

Restart the computer and keep pressing F8. When it asks, start computer in safe mode with networking.

Try to run your Avira or whatever AV you're using.

If it's not fixed, find a friend with some grammar skills and give him your computer and beer.

Shittiest virus I had was years ago playing with aol Trojans and came across something that stayed on the CMOS battery. If you reformat I suggest you pull the battery for 20 seconds or so and have no power running to the tower. Full formats are the only way I would repair people's computers when I was doing them. Years of them installing bullshit hinders performance almost as much as a annoying virus I have found. I have not used malware specific scanners in a while so I can't advise any with that.

Advast free is pretty kickass for a virus scanner

Uhhhh.

Stayed on the CMOS battery?

Seriously?

lawl

More like something in the boot sector or the BIOS, but not the battery.

Before you run malwarebytes delete all your saved browsing activity.

I gave the benefit of the doubt that he means BIOS and not the CMOS battery. I've only heard of viruses that write to BIOS rom, which wouldn't be cleared by removing the CMOS battery, but I assume it's probably possible to write to the BIOS' volatile memory as well...although I doubt there's enough of it to spare that would hold a decent virus. Either way, extremely unlikely. There aren't many simply because the BIOS is extremely low level and screwing it up can make the computer completely inoperable, and they're easy to screw up since there are so many different ones...

Wiping the HDD should take care of it.

Beofre you wipe anything check the Proxy settings. that is fairly common for some trojans lately. Let me get you some screenshots, ive seen this like 7 times in the last 6 months.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2011, 02:59:25 PM »

This is why we need a geek section!

Also download superantispyware. It looks like shit, but works good.

jhonda · « **Reply #21 on:** December 09, 2011, 06:40:53 PM »

GEEK Section would be sweet, esp. for when things like this happen... I had a friend take a look at it and he tried doing the ~System Restore~ but after the computer would restart a screen would show up saying it cant do system restore and to pick a different date. well after trying that about 15 times we tried to get it to work in SAFE Mode but still kept saying the same thing

but im still really NOT believeing its the ethernet or network CARD. and im not sure why im not able to do a System Restore but im off too google to see if i can get this thing fixed.

Jorsher · « **Reply #22 on:** December 09, 2011, 08:05:54 PM »

Linux live disc. If it's FAT32 you can read the shit in Linux, and IIRC there is Linux software that will read NTFS partitions, then copy what you want to keep to an external.

Or use partition software to create a new partition, assuming there's space, install a fresh copy of Windows, copy what files you want, and blast the old partition.

Or mount the harddrive on another computer and copy the files you want before wiping.

In both cases would not suggest running any executables and you should scan anything from the old installation before opening it.

Or do a network boot of an image.

Or reformat and start fresh if there's nothing worth saving. This is the easiest solution, because I'm sure you have scheduled backups of anything you want to keep to an external location LOL

This should be fixed too. Either get a decent software firewall, or get a router with NAT (basically any modern router). I too doubt it's the network interface card, or NIC, as I've seen viruses that will disable your drivers or Window's ability to control IP.

This PC sees some of the scummiest places on the web, and I rarely get anything. It's my parents that constantly collect shit, all because they click links w/o thinking.

FYI modern moboards have protection against shit fucking with the BIOS now. But in the old days when the BIOS was actually on a CMOS chip (now FLASH memory), they actually could fuck with it. However it would stay fucked w/ or w/o a battery reset.

Most current cable/DSL modems have a firewall built in. Not the best, but it is there.
