Have any of you guys ever had this virus? Any tips to make the virus stop?

So far this window (shown above) has popped up 5 times.

AND WHY DOES THIS KEEP ON POPPING UP?!?!http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w78/Nichwyto/Screenshot_2008-09-06_17-02-15.jpg

How'd you get the big TH? :D

[next-tarantino]

Easiest way to get rid of it is to format your harddrive.

Not a fun process, but necessary sometimes.

[speekerphone]

ahhahahahahha.




j/k.


yeah, restore your computer

[BinBinProductions]

STFU speeker.

Can anyone provide me with a link? Or some information other than "restore your computer"

thanks

[speekerphone]

STFU speeker.
did you notice the j/k?:rolleyes:

[atomic9studios]

Bin Bin, we dont need that again... Speeker was just playing around. Anyways.......... Try googleing an online virus screening and removal program and let it sit... :cool:

[google550]

did you notice the j/k?:rolleyes:

It doesn't stop you from being an obnoxious little snot.

[speekerphone]

It doesn't stop you from being an obnoxious little snot. no, it really dosen't. but...it also dosen't stop you from being an asshole!:)

[geek666]

a way to get rid of it is easy...get something better then Norton

[atomic9studios]

Ok ok come on guys, lets get back to the problem... Bin's computer.

[BinBinProductions]

How'd you get the big TH? :D
IDK. If i knew, i would not have even gotten it.

[BinBinProductions]

Do you think that its infected my Windows Internet Explorer, cause it only pops up when i open that.

[google550]

no, it really dosen't. but...it also dosen't stop you from being an asshole!:)

I don't think I qualify as an ass hole if I'm standing up for someone on the butt end of your irritating attitude.

Just because you said "just kidding" doesn't make it fine. If your mother died and I laughed my sorry ass off, then said "just kidding," you wouldn't be too happy.

If you're so worried about your silly maturity, maybe you should grow up and stop writing whatever pops into your head.

[speekerphone]

Do you think that its infected my Windows Internet Explorer, cause it only pops up when i open that. clear your cookies in your browser?

It's probably encoded itself WITHIN internet explorer. The warning might be trying to prevent you from opening explorer and setting the virus loose. Lemmie take a closer look at the image.

You've already obviously opened up your browser (as evident by the fact you're on Indy Mogul) so run a Google search and see what you come up with. I'm not an expert, but I know it's not fun.

[BinBinProductions]

Guys please stop fighting and help me out.

Well, that was stupid.

Speeker please stop with the "jokes"

Google thank you, now back to the trojan.

[atomic9studios]

ok come on guys, we dont need this AGAIN.

And Bin, try clearing your cookies like speeker said...

Then you may have hope yet.

Clearing cookies is done. What would that do?

[google550]

you.

I'm done arguing you. You're not worth it at all.

And that's NOT a good thing.

I don't think it would do anything much. If you can get Internet Explorer free of charge then replace your current version, and then run a virus sweep with Norton.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you use Macs.

[google550]

Really? You're not worth anything

Excuse me? Do you really want to get me started, or do you want to lay your sorry 12-year-old ass off?

[BinBinProductions]

Im hopefully getting a mac this winter.

Also guys thanks for all of the help!

Im looking on google right now.

[Vaughn Whynot]

lol clearing cookies will not get rid of this
why doesn't your virus protection have a heal or remove feature for virus
and a restore will not get rid of the problem if its a system file
...i would say get a free anti virus like avast and avaira
and do a scan with that
i had norton and it did nothing
now i hate it

[Ladri.]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you use Macs.

Have you downloaded any games or applications recently? Third party executables are NOTORIOUS for giving trojans.

[google550]

Let's get this started. I have all night!

I've expelled shit more intelligent than you, do you know that? It's pretty pathetic that you want to keep arguing this. If this is your source of pride, than it's PRETTY obvious that you need to get your dick out of your ass and find yourself a girlfriend.

Or a boyfriend.

Or an amorphous blob.

[Ladri.]

find yourself a girlfriend.

He still thinks girls have cooties.

Ive tried, but i used firefox, and it scans for virus's. So i dont know.

If i download what Vaughn was talking about, will that give me more virus's?

I'm sorry if I mentally damaged you that much.

I noticed you didn't mention "girlfriend" as being immature. The boyfriend thing wasn't a joke, I'm just not going to assume you're straight, nor am I going to insult you with it, as you just did in a private message to me.

As for the blob. WELL.

yeah that is it
what it is that it tells you if something changing so you can keep track if stuff like spyware

[google550]

Why are you gay?

No, I'm not, but if I was I would stand proud. I've got plenty of gay friends.

Of all the things to attack me with, that's despicable.

[BinBinProductions]

If i install that i dont want to unistall norton... do i have to uninstall norton?

[lowbudgetblockbuster22]

LOLOLOL!

[Vaughn Whynot]

If i install that i dont want to unistall norton... do i have to uninstall norton?
not for spybot
but if you install another virus program (avast or avira) they could battle each other and cause problems
i have learned this from tech support when i would at a call center
alot of problems with norton

[lowbudgetblockbuster22]

Excuse me? Do you really want to get me started, or do you want to lay your sorry 12-year-old ass off?

YEAH YOU TELL HIM!!!!

[BinBinProductions]

should i just pay for my subscription of spy sweeper? and another thing i keep on hearing like "youve won a free ipod" or "youve won a free nintendo" and no windows show up. whats with that?

[google550]

I apologized, he accepted.

It's over now.

[Skycarl]

Bin, go to bitdefender.com, they have an online virus cleaner that is really good.
It's free. It works.

[Vaughn Whynot]

thats spam man
if you click any link with that
you should be slapped lol
and yeah shay is correct
thats a good one

[lowbudgetblockbuster22]

I feel bad for you Bin Bin. You have a Trojan and the only thing 2 people can do is talk about about gay people.

[BinBinProductions]

Im kinda having a hard time deciding, Download this download that, ahhhhh!! What should i do?
Update spy sweeper or download one of these things people are saying?

[google550]

I also apologize to BinBin to competely hijacking his thread and then throwing it into the ground.

Good luck with the trojan, I made my contribution.

[Vaughn Whynot]

well do what feels comfortable to you
everyone has a different way of dealing with viruses and protection against them

[Skycarl]

Bin,,, bitdefender does it from the website. You don't have to download anything.
You can screw around or go there and get rid of it. I wouldn't wait too long.

[speekerphone]

I feel bad for you Bin Bin. You have a Trojan and the only thing 2 people can do is talk about about gay people. I'm older than you.

[Vaughn Whynot]

I'm older than you.
i`m older than you
but its not the fact
the fact is you guys fighten over stupid shit again

[lowbudgetblockbuster22]

I'm older than you.

Oh that scares me coming from the guy with an Alf icon.

[BinBinProductions]

Thanks guys for the help.
Also thanks for the apology google. *Cough* Speeker

[lowbudgetblockbuster22]

[BinBinProductions]

Can i please get a link to the online scan? Ive clicked on its page, but i cant find where it is.

Dunnnunnunun dunnunnunun MAC-MAN! :D

[google550]

It's spyware. I have NO idea how to help you, buddy.

[BinBinProductions]

ahha Macs are good i do have to say.

But someone said restart then press F10 when its restarting and it shows options?

[speekerphone]

*hehhem*

[next-tarantino]

Seriously, BinBin, just format your harddrive. Transfer everything to another medium, and format.

It's the easiest way to make sure you get rid of everything. Sounds to me like you've also got a spyware problem.

And it's not like formatting your PC is a big deal. I had to do it four times in the course of my freshman year at college, because our network was just so open and filthy.

[BinBinProductions]

Format my harddrive? break it down for a white man to understand.

[next-tarantino]

That basically means you'll be erasing everything from your harddrive and restoring your PC to the way it was when you got it out of the box.

Take all the files/folders/etc. that are important to you, burn them to CD's or DVD's or transfer them to another harddrive, then format. To do that, you'll need the start-up disk (or something of that nature, depending on your PC), insert the disk, turn off your PC, then turn it back on and follow the instructions.

[Vaughn Whynot]

are you serious........
1st of all if your going to format
do you have the windos disc that came with or was purchuched
if not a format will not work
here i found this
http://ezinearticles.com/?How-To-Format-Your-PC&id=1082519
p.s. white people should know this
they did invent the computer lol

[BinBinProductions]

LMAO. Fine I am actually mixed so, I'm not just a white man. LOL
I dont think i have the windows disc. But I think i found an option on Norton that will let me delete it, right now i think its set to blocking the trojan, not deleting it.

[BinBinProductions]

NEVERMIND! SCRATCH THAT!

[BinBinProductions]

If i restore my computer to last week, will i lose all of my files i made this week?

[Vaughn Whynot]

shouldn't

[BinBinProductions]

ok, well i just downloaded bitdefender. So i think im going to unistall bitdefender after it takes over the problem.

should i delete it, or let it stay?


edit:
Nevermind im not uninstalling norton. Aint happening.

[BonOfTheDead]

if its a trojan, that clearing your cookies is crap. get a better anti virus program. something that actually does something. i tried panda anti virus, works pretty well, though not free.

Well, since Norton isn't cutting it, you'll end up uninstalling
everything when you reformat your hard drive.
And that is very unfun.
Best of luck whatever you do friend.

[Wraith 5]

Get AVG anti-Virus 8. It's free, and has a browser shield which should stop that ad thing popping up whever you open up internet explorer. It can be turned off if it's conflicting with Norton too.
Personally I don't trust norton, as it's so well known, virus creators design the viruses/spyware to exist 'under the radar' of nortons detection parameters.

[speekerphone]

Download Hitman Pro 2. it works GREAT

This has happened to me. You must still have IE still on your computer. I was using firefox but had IE on it and that happened. So That might be the problem

[sonnyfromda02]

Binbin, if you just restore you PC back to factory settings, the virus may still be on there. I did that when I downloaded a virus from a jack sparrow type site, back when I used to do that. If the virus writes itself to your Win32 folder, I think it is, then it will look like a valid Windows file and remain on your drive. I had my friend reinstall Windows on my PC, and that took care of the problem. I used my external drive to save everything I wanted first though.

DAMN! I dont want to have to do that, but if I have to, then I have to. I'm going to sweep as much as possible, and I'm going to renew spy sweeper, and if that doesn't save it, then I will have to reformat. :supermad:

[BinBinProductions]

I actualy think its infected in my Windows Internet Explorer. When ever thats open, i hear noises. But when its not open, the noises/music/ads stop.

[Macaholic]

do they still play in your head though?:ohsnoes:
seriously, ur going to need to uninstall norton zt one time or another, kill the internet while ur doing it if thats what ur afraid of.

[sonnyfromda02]

I actualy think its infected in my Windows Internet Explorer. When ever thats open, i hear noises. But when its not open, the noises/music/ads stop.

If you're hard wired to the internet, disconnect it, then try to open IE. I disconnected my PC from the internet, but was still able to open IE, but it would go to the page to try to sell Anti-virus programs, even though I wasn't connected. I doubt only your IE is affected by it.

[BonOfTheDead]

unless the trojan installs something on your computer, dont reinstall windows. just get a better anti virus software. itd be a waste of time. ive reinstalled windows 4 times in a week. it wasnt fun, and half the time, i couldnt get the internet working, and the screen resolution was 800x600. which is crap. so all you have to do it get something that actually can find the trojan. i suggested panda, because when i got a trojan, i knew what file it was, and out of 3 anti virus softwares that i tried, its the only one that caught it. SO, just get a better anti virus software. ive heard bad things about norton lately. if you dont have the cd to install norton again, then i dont know what to tell you. if you legally own it, and can prove that you own it, just download it of the internet, or send in for a new cd.

end walltext.
