virus alert thingy, but unable to access internet

[samdaman]

hello,

i have read your forums and postings...sound and looks great and i cant wait to do what you have said...BUT how do i get to the internet to download some of the software that you have asked about

i am emailing you from another computer without problems...the only way i guess is to save it on disk and then transfer......right?

thank you

[Adywebb]

samdaman, welcome to the forums - please don't die just yet

You need to describe exactly what symptoms you are getting - behaviour/words/icons etc, and also post a HijackThis log here so I can have a look.

What exactly is the 'stupid message' you still get in safe mode?

Follow the instructions given HERE exactly as given, then finally run CCleaner (untick the Yahoo taskbar install option) to get rid of any rubbish left behind

 

[samdaman]

that is sweet and delish...i will definitely do dat...

i saw in another reply, you stated something about prevx1...im doing that right now....what you thank???

tanks for da hookers uppers mein

 

[Adywebb]

Running Prevx1 won't do any harm

 

[samdaman]

does is work.....really really work...

or is the only way to fix this thing is via the highjackthis way....also muckshifter recommended spyware blaster...what is your opinion and do you recommend something better...

thanks

 

[Adywebb]

Do what I have posted - it does work


After you are clear you can install various preventative programs like SpywareBlaster/Windows Defender/Spybot Search&Destroy/Ad-aware etc - but they along with a good AV suite (Norton isn't - try Kaspersky ) will still only give you about 80% coverage - the rest is down to common sense and being careful what you open/download etc
