Answer»

Hi

Posted requests for help under internet about three dodgy websites that keep opening up on my computer when I'm on internet, two of which are sick *censored*

I've followed the advice given on how to clean an infected computer and spent hours doing full virus scans, anti spyware scans and virus scan in safe mode too.

I had a Trojan virus on my computer which has now been removed.  I rebooted and went on to internet and when I went into my faves to come on to this website it took me straight to the first porn site on the list.  Does this mean I still have a virus or some sort of problem with my computer?

Any help gratefully received.

debsdebbiekayekaroqe......I would be inclined to D/L ....hijackthis ....because it sounds like you have a hijacker ........ http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html
Save it to a folder on your desktop........ then run a scan , save the logfile it generates and post the log here ......... If the logfile is too large to post in one post ......post it in 2 posts .....

Note ....I have suggested removing all google toolbars.....they attract a lot of spyware and other crap.......just use the google search page instead.

Press fix marked and see how it looks

Hi dl65  

Well I have removed those you suggested... thanks for that.

When I really think about it a lot of problems have started SINCE I installed the Google toolbar... I also had a Yahoo and MyFunProducts toolbar and they all seem to get mixed up with one another and for instance I would remove Yahoo via View, Toolbars and it would remove Google instead or vice versa.  I think the old saying is best... less is more!

I'll see how things go but hopefully that will be it.

Thanks for all your advice

debsAny toolbar is a bad idea. These outfits don't just distribute these things for our benefit. It's for theirs!Toolbars are a bad idea.

If you get a lot of Spyware etc maby you should download Microsoft Anti-Spyware and run that every week.

Unfortunately , she can't .......

Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) supports Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server™ 2003.

dl65  This could of been prevented if Linus was used instead of Windows.Well put, paduwan.oh ok i didnt read the bit abou the OS

What viruses? What stuff? Inquiring minds want to know.   Hi dl65....since I sorted out my computer with your assistance at the weekend it has been running great.  

Did a full spyware check and virus check today and came up with a clean bill of health, one of the spyware checks even gave me a congratulations message!!!  I uninstalled and reinstalled my zone alarm firewall and even that is not coming up with very much.  Thanks for your help.

cheers
debs   debbiekayekaroqe.....Glad to hear that you have it running well......Just remember that if you run your various scans regularly...the puter will remain reasonably clean and trouble free ........
I don't know if you leave your machine on all the time......but if you do , It might be an idea to schedule your anti virus app to run a full scan everyday .
Then I would suggest running Spybot ....several times a week ....... http://www.tucows.com/preview/310138
I would suggest running CCLeaner at least once a day .... http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.html
This app runs its scans very quickly .
You should also run Ad-Aware SE ........

Most important that you always check for updates on these apps.
