Evening :)

I've had this virus for a while now and I've kinda lost the will to try and get rid of it (yes I'm that lazy!)

I've got Norton but that can't shift it for some reason.

This:

Is constantly on the screen, then you click it and it changes to this:

And it kind of goes round in a visious circle :p

I'm stumped, any idea please as it's really annoying me :p

Cheers.
 
Well I downloaded that Ewido and did a full scan (hdd, memory, everthing) and it came back with 412 infections :p Got rid of them all and it seems to have taken that virus with it! Yay :D

I looked at the Startup report and there seems to be a lot of **** in there. Could anyone take a look at this please and tell me what to get rid of? (and also how! :p)

Next I'm going to ditch Norton like you said (the Subscriptions up anyway) and get avast and adaware. Will I need to run these or will they just do what Ewido has just done?

Cheers again fellas :)
 
Ok sorry for all the questions :p

Pretty much finished now and it's much better thanks :D (Would just like to know about the startup items 2 posts up please).

Sadly I'm now getting something else coming up on start-up:

Anyone know how to get rid of it?

It's only coming up on my fathers profile, it was on mine but then I did something and it went, no idea what though :p

Cheers ;)
 
Well the virus has gone now thankfully :)

The virus probably came in because norton WAS out-of-date since September.

So what does everyone recommend that I do? Kepp norton and pay for the subscription update (I won't be paying by the way ;)). Or get avast and use this?

I'm going to try and get rid of that startup error.

Could anyone shed anymore light on which startup's I can bin?

Cheers again for everyones input :)
