My Computer is Fucked - Eschatos - 12-09-2008

Being the idiot I am, I managed to get some nasty viruses on my computer.  Now no web browsers work for longer than five minutes, all downloads are blocked, search engines only link to ads, my computer locks up every half hour, nothing runs at any decent speed, and I get bombarded with ads for "Winweb Security."  So far virus scans with both AVG and NOD32 have yielded nothing.  I've tried installing several AntiSpyware programs off of my flash drive but nothing that requires online authentication/downloading works.  The only one that's been a success is NoAdware, which has quickly brought up a list of viruses whenever I scanned with it.  Unfortunately actually stopping the viruses would require me to buy the software, and that's not possible without a fucking working internet connection.

List of viruses that come up:  Video Access ActiveX Object, SpyDawn, Zlob.Media-Codec, X Password Manager, PC Watch, Trojan.popuper, and SpyAxe

Does anyone have any suggestions of good AntiSpyware programs that can be loaded off of a flash drive?  Failing that, does anyone know of a good guide to reformatting without the operating system cds?  I know I'm a complete retard but I would really appreciate help.

when you're done wasting time with what spore suggested get these two files on your computer somehow (flash drive, speedygonzales download from infected computer , penis )

http://www.internetinspiration.co.uk/downloads/roguefix_2.231.bat

http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.exe

Boot to safe mode
start > run > msconfig > boot.ini tab > /safeboot checkmark box

restart

run those two apps from safe mode and delete anything they find

go back to your boot.ini and disable /safeboot

restart

i would be very surprised if these two dont clean yo shit
if they dont its time for a re-installation of XP anyways.

if you do get clean and are looking for a new virus scanner , i'd suggest Avira
www.free-av.com

Most spyware these days is very insidious. If you delete the file, it will write a second copy else where. You have to terminate the process first.

If you terminate the process, a secondary process respawns it. If you kill the host process, a child process restarts it.
If you try to disable the autostart (msconfig, as well as other registry tricks) the running processes will reinstate them.

You have to do much of your work from safe-mode, or better yet, a Preinstalled Environment live disk like Bart PE or ERD Commander.
These will allow you to easily access your registry and file system without running your OS and starting all your virus/spyware processes.

The manual clean is pretty intensive and painstaking.

Another option is to build a BartPE disc with Nero and just burning off everything important and wiping your drive.

Back Up Important things

Nuke from orbit


Easy, clean, but not *always* the best solution

Re: My Computer is Fucked - zaneyard - 12-10-2008

you could buy the Winweb Security program suggested  ??? ??? ???

otherwise the best way to do it is to boot up into a Live CD due to the fact that the virus cant run if you aren't running the operating system that it infected.

Sure, if you wanted to give your cc info to a clearly fake program and hope they don't clean house with your info.

Did what Vandam said, and so far everything's back to normal.  Crossing my fingers for it to stay this way.
