OK POP-UP's like crazy
« on: November 28, 2007, 04:43:41 AM »
Ok I downloaded some file's to look at my computers and other in house Password's and such. A day after this I started to get random Pop-ups of all Sorts. I woke up today and had 200 Open internet Explores. I have no idea what to do tried everything. Can I get some help? I think it may be virus because now this pop is acting like Nortan Anti-virus but i have no clue if it is. Might be new update to afraid to click on it.

I had something similar a few years ago. Webroot's SpySweeper got rid of it,but coss money. Try to download the free edition of AVG it is what the guy who fixes my computers uses. I will try to post a link to where you can get it later today.

First off, use Firefox!

Second, sounds like its reformat reinstall time unless you are very good or very lucky at bug removal.

Third, if you go to the russian hack sites, your going to get hacked.

Be careful what you mess with.

Nah. At his age I wasn't stupid enough to click Yes on silly password-spying program pop-ups. This is more a matter of incompetence.

What Cbass said, get Spysweeper it costs but its worth it about $26 i think, also get HiJack This, its might still be free.  If you still have problems after that you can also get Spyware Nuker, it costs about $30 i think

You guys better stop teasing him, he's a manly football player and not an intardnet geek like we are. I certainly wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.

(Free)
Spyware
HiJack This
Ad-Aware 2007
Spybot Search & Destroy
(Free for 30 days, and you should try it)
CounterSpy

Anti-Virus
AVG Free Edition
Avast Home Edition
AntiVir
(online scan)
Kaspersky


I suggest HiJack This (be carefull w/ that one, when in doubt, google it and see what it is you are turning off), SpyBot, AdAware, and CounterSpy for spyware, and AVG and the Kaspersky online scan for a virus.

That will get rid of most all problems.

(and whatever you do, don't keep them all running as a background process/service when you fly)

You did what?

Forget the spyware cleaners and all of the other crap.  Format and reinstall windows.  Why?  Because it's faster than running a bunch of virus scanners/cleaners.  You gave yourself not only spyware but most likely some virus/trojans/backdoors as well.

Enjoy


Edit : Also after you reinstall windows use different usdrnames/passwords for your computer and change all of your passwords for email,games,bank, and whatever else you have accessed on that computer.
