Hannibal Lecturer Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 My laddie's Pc has some kind of virus that someone sent him on MSN and I can't get rid of it. Typical wean, he said he knew the person that sent it, so he opened it... A wee picture of Bill Gates poped up and said something sweary. Now it won't let me open any kind of anti virus/clean-up type of programe for any longer than a second, it just closes the programe down. The PC had anti virus running and fire wall's etc, but it still got through. The internet still works, but the minute you type in the word virus in google, down it goes. Any advice would be very welcome. ...Cheers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Macleod Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hate to say it mate but if it were me I'd be inclined to reformat the fooker. You may get away without going to such lengths but as soon as my PC so much as sneezes, I reach for the Windows XP disk. At least it's still partially operational which should allow you to backup your files for a full reformat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicky 488474[/snapback] Yup Avast is a very good checker. Some say it is better than Norton which you have to pay for! It is also good in that it scans web pages as you search through them making sure no shit gets through! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kompressaur Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Im talking shite Hannibal. Looks like thats an old virus. Firstly what anti-virus you using and is it letting you update it? I must admit i dont bother with virus software or firewalls as i like to 'live on the edge'. I know Kaspersky was voted the best lately in tests but the crack is nippy applying so have this http://download.mcafee.com/products/licens...9.0/VSP_9_0.exe Its the retail version so it should give you all the features etc. Turn your SYSTEM RESTORE off (see google for info) and then updat and run the virus software. Whilst your at it youd be as well using the best spyware remover i know http://www.filehog.com/BPSFV/bpssr9203-fv.exe You might as well run this too- Mirror 1:http://files.9down.com/Trojan.Remover.v6.3...ACKED-LUCiD.rar Crack / Keygen / Serial Mirror: Included. Description: Trojan Remover was written to aid in the removal of Trojan Horses when standard anti-virus software has either failed to detect the Trojan Horse or is unable to effectively eliminate it. The majority of Virus and Trojan Scanners are well able to detect malicious Trojan Horses but are not always very efficient in removing them once they have been triggered. then reboot and maybe run it all again :(i know:() and then if clean reboot and turn on your system restore again.
