picked up a virus on my computer..any help out there?

[stroker71]

It shows up on the anti-spy as "darksma" and if I delete it it just comes back.  Also my anti-virus finds "fraudtool.win32.xpAntivirus" but if I tell it to do anything it it just says "can't preform operation target has changed name".  Any help?  I tried searching but couldn'treally find anything that helped much...and I know there are some internet/computer guru's out there.  I think my daughter picked this up from myspace...but not sure.

Try starting the comp in safe mode, then run the scan.  Tends to work better.

Google them up and see what the removal process is.  You might also invest in a anti-virus program.  Some are free.

Give it to all the hotards and picktards

I've heard that virus comes from www.sweetmothersgotmounds.com, not myspace.

when trying to remove a virus always start by disconnecting from the jack. Find the file and remove it. This can sometimes take a bit of time, as after each removal you need to scan again as there is usually a couple of things placed about that only show up as each piece of the puzzle is removed. I always try to remove them manually as, although there are good anti virus programs I don't think they always get rid of them. Also make sure you remove it from your recycle bin before running you scan again.

Here are the scanners you need:

ESET NOD32:
www.eset.com

Spybot Search & Destroy:

AVG Anti-Rootkit Free:

Don't forget, scan in Safe Mode. Not Safe Mode with Networking, just plain Safe Mode.

antibiotics don't help much for viruses they are generally used for bacterial infections. 

oops sorry wrong kind of virus 

[Enker]

Yeah, what Denholm recommended

Oh, and stop surfing Pron

Damn right you stop surfing pron! I had to spend my entire evening reinstalling everything on the computer because SOMEONE was looking at pron at less than reputable sites, not 4chan like what everybody else uses, for the FOURTH time! Plus I forgot to keep the AH install file! So stop going to pokedbymen.com because they are no good!

71 strokes werent enuff...ya had to go for 1 more!

[stroker71]

Well honestly I don't go to pron sites....they are pointless because if I am going to look at a naked woman I better be able to touch her.  That and I am very good looking with lots of money so if I wants me some I go gets me some...know what I am saying???

Ok back to the problem:
It won't let me restart in safe mode.  When I do try I get a flash of script across the screen then it just reboots normally
When I search for that file I can never find it.
It has turned off my auto updates and I can't manually turn it back on.

I'll DL spybot search and destroy
