Unfortunately I don't have any antivirus protection except for AVG Free <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/edition-445192" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EDITION">EDITION</a>. It started happening like a week ago, I tried to get help from other forums but nobody replied. I am using windows 2000 professional. It worked good but then it the problem occured. I used a registry cleaner after I virus scanned and I got rid of the bad files but the problem persisted.The reason your replies might be non-existent is due to the lack of info...<br/>As this can be caused by numerous things the more you tell us about your system etc. the better we can come up with workable remedies...<br/>For example what type of machine is this and how <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/old-585313" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OLD">OLD</a> ? ?<br/>What Registry cleaner did you use and why ? ?<br/>Those can be dangerous.<br/>Does the system boot properly before the trouble starts ? ?<br/>Did you run AVG and did it find any troubles ? ?<br/><br/>You know important stuff like that.Like I said its windows 2000, I don't know what you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/mean-770507" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MEAN">MEAN</a> by what type of machine it is. The registry cleaner I used was eusing registry cleaner. I thought it might help. Yes the system booted properly. I ran avg once, it found problems on svhost32.exe and others and got rid of them. Then I found out the database of viruses was outdated and downloaded the newer one and it found over 8000 threats in my temporary folder.Quote</p><blockquote>Then I found out the database of viruses was outdated and downloaded the newer one and it found over 8000 threats in my temporary folder.</blockquote><br/>This is what is meant by supplying more info...your machine is badly infected and again it could be a number of things.<br/><br/>First DLoad install and update the following:<br/><br/>Don't run them yet.<br/><br/>Spybot Search and Destroy<br/>AdAware<br/>Stinger<br/>AVG Anti- Spyware ( different than AVG Anti Virus.<br/><br/>After updating and installing these shut down your machine.<br/>Dis-connect from the web physically router/modem.<br/>Re-boot into safe mode by repeatedly tapping F8 as soon as the machine is powered on.<br/>Run each scan and let it finish completely ( this may take awhile as it sounds as you haven't scanned in awhile)<br/>Let each program fix what it finds.<br/><br/>After this run Disk Cleanup and defrag. These might also take some time.<br/><br/>Power down and hook your connection back up.<br/><br/>DLoad Hijack This and post the log in our virus and spyware section. It will take more than one post to get it all.<br/><br/>We can then look further for nasties.<br/><br/>Be patient...we'll get you there.Ah thanks for your help I will get right on that.You might want to print the instructions out as you will be dis-connected from the web for awhile...</body></html> | |
