Hi,

Please let us know the operting system of your computer (Windows XP/Vista, others..) and also the antivirus software that you are using.

You can try and remove the spyware using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Download the free version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and do a cpmplete scan.

Also, you can try AntiVir Removal Tool from Avira. Download link: http://www.avira.com/en/support/antivir_removal_tool.html

Download and scan your computer with Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool.

Usually, the spyware/virus blocks the anti-virus' websites. So you will have to download these programs using any other computer and then copy and install these on your computer.

In majority of infections, viruses and spyware can be removed by scanning with these programs. But, if critical Windows operating system files are damaged or deleted, one has to repair the installation using the original Windows set-up disk.

Hope this solves your problem. For more help and clarifications, please reply to this post.

Thanks for using FixYa

How do i get spyware off my computer? I keep being keylogged and am unsure how i have avg and norton scan daily could you please suggest a better anti spyware/malware

Although anti-spyware and anti-virus software are intended to protect your computer from advertisement pop-ups, slow performance and security threats, they can prevent some of your computer programs from running properly. This is especially true for anti-spyware software. This is why you may chose to disable them. If you disable either your anti-spyware and anti-virus software, take into consideration that you are making your computer more vulnerable to security threats like viruses, worms and trojan horses.
Disabling Anti-Spyware
  • 1Open the anti-spyware program on your computer. Sometimes there is an icon for the software located either on the desktop or in the toolbar on the lower right-hand corner of the computer, next to the clock. Double-click to open the software if it's on your desktop. Right-click on the icon if it's in the toolbar.
  • 2 Turn off the anti-spyware software by removing the check mark from the "on" button. If you have Ad-Watch Anti-Spyware, you will need to uncheck the word "active" and "automatic" to disable the software. If you are running SpyBot Tea Timer, click on "advanced mode" and then uncheck the teatimer.
  • 3 Click "yes" for the anti-spyware software to be disabled.

I recommend running a few programs to make sure that you don't have a virus, spyware or adware hiding in your system. Avast is a free anti-virus tool that is very effective. Super-anti-spyware is great for getting rid of spyware, and Adaware is a great anti-adware tool --- both of these are also free. Try downloading these programs (all 3) and run them on your computer -- this will likely get your system running like normal. Once you have run these, run a disk cleanup and defragmenter to get everything into tip-top shape.

We havspyware security tool taking over our desktop. are unable to get rid of it as it is blocking everthing

Apparently the "spyware security" is in actuality spyware/malware itself. (Common problem)

Have you tried booting into safe mode? Press F8 when the computer begins to boot up and select Safe Mode with networking.

Once in Safe mode, see if you can run your anti/virus software. I am assuming you DO have some. If you do not, you need to try to get online to get some free scans or free software to detect and remove the threats.

Some free ones:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

http://www.lavasoft.com/single/trialpay.php

http://us.trendmicro.com/us/housecall/

http://www.avast.com/

http://free.avg.com/us-en/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

You may have to download the file onto a flash drive from another computer using the Save option and then install on your computer if you can't get online to download. many of these prgrams will prevent you from them.

Good luck. Comment back.

I need ur help again

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially and if I may remark, a very challenging and time consuming virus cleanup. Some that you could try:
  • determine what virus files/names are involved. Some would be appearing in "msconfig" startup;
  • some would not allowed to be deleted, try delete in Safe Mode;
  • in some instances, some services would have to be stopped using Ctrl-Alt-Del;
  • download, install and run RRT (remove restriction tool);
  • download, install and run Ad-Aware.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.
