Answer» MY pc which has been doing quite well lately decided to freak out LOL In Task Manager, click on Run button, type in explorer, and hit Enter. I did that last night and it popped up them vanished again...Quote from: Broni on November 08, 2007, 12:16:30 PM BTW...did you try to reseat video card, and RAM? Yes and they were fine..... I guess, clean reinstall may be your only option. Do you have a lot of data to loose? Any backups?Update: Ok It was not a software, windows problem..it was actually a very nasty trojan called Virtumonde. This thing multiplied and caused so much havoc in my pc ..I had to literally chase it down to kill it. Anyway.. I realized this when I was just doing a virus scan from task manager and AntiVir went nuts when it got to my Windows/fonts folder. It started showing some really strange stuff that I had never seen before. I went to the folder and lo and behold there was NOTHING there. I had barely put my cursor on the file when it showed me a little of what the file contained and it was 3 gbs !! I saw something called a.zip and I did a search for it and opened it and there was a file that I did not have there before so I tried to delete it and BOOM! my computer shut down so ...hmmm ok now that must be what is making my pc miserable ... I ran all of my viruswares one by one and none found it but Antivir and it keep asking me what I wanted to do with it.. I tried everything and it had locked the file from me.!! ARGHH OK! its 3 am and I am not giving up so ... I download all those Vundo fix scanners and NOTHING worked so I shut off my pc and went to BED ... The next day I got up and went back to my Antivir and scanned and it went nuts. It found all the viruses that had been spawned from that trojan and it was busy deleting them one by one.. (Now this program beeps everytime it finds something so my house was full of beeping for at least an hour.) Finally I had an idea to look up how to get rid of the virus... I downloaded Trojan Remover and it GOT IT!! Finally and all of the sudden my desktop was back to normal. I scanned some more and eliminated more viruses and now my PC is locked down with Zone alarm and virus free... just wanted to share this in case anyone has the same problems I had! Thanks for The Great help!! Broni!!! I didn't help that much...LOL I'm happy, though, you're back in business. I guess, it wouldn't hurt, if you posted your HijackThis log. |
