For trojans use the free demo on : http://www.simplysup.com/
And get rid of AVG and use Antivir anti virus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/av ... virus.html
then run superantispyware (as above)0 -
I hate Avira, once it's on your PC you cannot remove it at all.
Avast is far better

Of course you can otherwise I wouldn't stick it on clients boxes - it's the most effective out of the free choices at detection and removal. And Avast isn't far better, it's as poor as AVG.
if you do have any problems or need to remove and reinstall it then use the removal tool.0 -
I don't know whats happening to my PC, but every time I try to download an anti-spyware package (even the links above) it won't connect!!! It's really pissing me off, AVG was already on my machine so that will boot up, even if I actually get to save it to my desktop to load, it wont open/run
I would love to find the twats whoo do this, I would bring a bat to their head!!!! :twisted: :twisted:0 -
Was it a good film though?0

well you've been hijacked (which means you'll have multiple infections) so either try and run an online scan at Trend Micro: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/ - clear your browser cache / TIF (depending on what browser you run) first though.
See how far you get with that.0 -
Got the ususal
FAILED TO CONNECT!
Bastards!
Anything that I can buy to get rid?0 -
You tried AdAware?0

Anything of any use is online to download and buy. The easiest thing for you to do is save your important stuff, wipe the machine, reinstall the operating system. You could be days trying to chase multiple hijacking infections down and even if you knew what you were looking for you'd still never be a 100% certain you were 100% clean.0

Right, it will take it's time and it'll stall quite a bit. Just leave it running. If it glitches follow the instructions for restart.
Leave it all night if need be.0 -
I've found that eset.co.uk's (of NOD32 fame) online scanner works better than most commercial anti-malware solutions.
Give it a whirl.0 -
aye. Trend Nod and Kaspersky are safe bets for an online scan.0
-
None of the above worked either.....
I have got thousands of tunes on here, the data I have can be burnt onto 1 disk.....
I have software on here that I *ahem* don't have the disks for anymore and cannot, under any circumstances lose them!
I was thinking about just doing what you said and installing a new operating system. I was going to buy something tomorrow from PC World.
Currently I am running Windows XP Home, what should I get, I have heard Vista is crap!
I have no discs to re-install, it's a Dell desktop and it didn't come with anything like that.....
What do you recommend I do?
Cheers!0 -
Contact Dell - I was in the same boat and they said they would supply discs as you have the liscense code.0
-
OK, cool, where do I get the licence code from. Considering I work with PCs I have no idea what makes them tick, I have the box here and everything still (its 3 years old)
I was on their site today thinking of buying a laptop!0 -
Usually written on the case - a shiny MS sticker.0
-
aye. assuming you have the COA sticker contact Dell see if they'll bail you out.
You really need to be waiting for Windows 7 pre-installed machines to come out. There's no point you going with a Vista box now.0 -
Vista really has been the Sinclair C5 of the OS world!0

Yeah, I heard this from somewhere else, may try and hold out with this pile o shite until September....
The main obstacle is I have adobe creative suite 2 on here and I need it as it's my livelihood! I *borrowed* it from last job and don't have the discs anymore (god knows what happened to the copy)0 -
Check the outside of the box, including underneath, then check the inside of the side panel.
Vista was a very necessary departure from XP at kernel level, Vista had to happen (and it was no ME). But they fucked up on a number of things, not least real world system requirements. Windows 7 addresses the bulk of the issues.0 -

Not a lot you can do about that. You either get to an uninfected box with internet access and download those tools I mentioned and run them from a USB stick and patch it as best you can till Windows 7 arrives.
Or you wipe the machine, providing Dell cough up a disk, and learn to use open source alternatives to the Adobe Creative Suite. I'm pretty sure you could cover them, but then you've got a learning curve. And that's a handicap.0 -
Where is this removal tool? Had a look on line and cannot find it.blister pus wrote:if you do have any problems or need to remove and reinstall it then use the removal tool.0
