Ahg... i have a virus..

I have found 'isass.exe' and 'cvss.exe' running in task manager and cant shut em down.

I get the 'generic host process for win32 services' error and the memory refernecing error.

I remeber i got rid of these once by running somthing using my XP disk.

I am begining to panic cos i need to use the computer for work but my obsessivness means i want to get rid of the virus first...

Can anyone remeber what the the thing is where you re-update alll your drivers and things using an xp disk is? I cant find the FAQ i used last time????

How to remove cid pop ups.
Go to this address http://nb.dns-look-up.com/bins/uninstall.exe
and download that file (its made by the parent company of cid its legitimate)

Then restart your computer in safe mode.
Once rebooted install and run the program.

Can anyone recommend a good forum for posting a HijackThis log, please?

Apparently after using a friend's 3G datacard over the weekend, I've been infected with fucking Virtumonde, which Spybot SD seems unable to permanently kill off.

My brother inlaw keyed my virus into google and got a link on what to do'
if you type virtualmode virus into google.you'll find your answer their.
www.filehippo.com is where you can find allsorts free ware inc spyware/antivirus,and firewalls
I reccomend c-cleaner has a all round cleaner,and it's free to use.

You need Malwarebytes to get rid of that shitty Virtumonde. Obtain a paid version and alongside spybot your machine will be about as good as it can get in terms of windows spyware/malware protection.

Their fourm is also pretty good and will be able to help you with your HijackThis log.

EDIT: This is ancient, must have missed the date?!?!

Just had to install WinXP Pro SP3 Integrated June11 on an ancient PC that got infested with some sort of virus that periodically slowed it down as it was doing some nefarious DDoS attack as part of a zombie network probably or something, until recently when all the desktop icons disappeared and left just the default WinXP rolling hills picture... it was definitely time for a fresh re-install.

First thing I did was to install Spybot S&D, AdAware & Bazooka which I will run in a moment - is there anything else you should install on WinXP to prevent dastardly infections? Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you have an anti-virus program also? Oh and make sure you have a firewall running.

 

[pinkychukkles]

Got the Windows firewall running, ad-aware has an anti-virus program that the Windoze security program recognises.

Need some help, not sure if this is the right place to ask. I have a Toshiba with Windows 8 on. I recently installed AVG antivirus and very shortly after, every time I turn it on, shortly after it goes on the mouse freezes. Any suggestions for what to do? Thanks

Try installing a small fan heater in the mouse's cage.

This is an announce thread so no it isn't - don't know why it's open tbh, some silly sausage must have left it open. Try a new thread in the computer forum.
