Virus/Spyware taking over my PC

[ManOfSteele]

Recently, I've been having some trouble with my computer. I discovered the other day that I am in fact infected with a virus and or spyware. After chatting with some Security forums, I'm infected with spyware from criminals from Ukraine. Who knew.

Today, when I logged it took 10 minutes to load THIS forum. Every other page worked completley fine, but for some reason all pages here took ten minutes.

To that extent I will not be on very often till I get this under control.

More importantly, to my POSTYS Staff: I will MSN KOD or someone my stuff. And I'll post my stuff when it is to be posted. Don't worry about that.

Sorry to hear that. I use Spyware Detector. You can download it and make it scan the computer, but watch it might say "121 Threats" like how it did to my aunt and I. To make the Spyware Detector remove the spyware, you must pay for their service of $30.00.

Dang that sucks.

The ghetto solution: download "Hijackthis" and run a scan, then go to hjt.iamnotageek.com and have them interpret the log file from the scan. It'll highlight those things considered dangerous or potentially harmful. Then, download "Killbox" and force delete all the files upon restart.

Oh and if you don't have an antivirus service already installed on your computer, AVG is a pretty reliable program (through my experience) and it's free.

Hope you get everything sorted out.

try malwarebytes anti-malware. It will take out just about anything if you download it and do a scan
