Download the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware,

http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

(Click on the green rectangle with - Download Now - in it )

, to the computer you are using now. Copy to a folder, (My Documents, or Downloads), or straight to a CD disk. (CD-R)

Either way burn it (Copy) to a CD disk.
When finished turn the affected computer on, put the disk in the optical drive. (CD/DVD drive)

Malwarebytes will ask if you wish to install. Yes (OK)
If a Microsoft 'Squawk Box' comes up ignore it, click on Run.
(I can explain that last sentence if you wish)

Click on Full Scan.

WHEN using Malwarebytes DO NOT click on ANYTHING!
You will just slow Malwarebytes down.

[You will be tempted. The malware may pop so many pop-ups that you cannot see the Malwarebytes screen, and wonder if it is working.

It is.

You may see Microsoft 'shields', and fake ones that look very close.
Do not click on anything you will just slow Malwarebytes down.
(Unless it states it needs to update <- then click ]

Average run time is 42 minutes. Depends on how large the harddrive is, and how much stuff is on it.

When Malwarebytes is done, you are Not finished.

Windows has System Restore. Nice feature, but it also restores VIRUSES.

Turn System Restore off. Run Malwarebytes one more time. Turn System Restore back on. Create a Restore Point.

Tell me what Operating System you are using, and I'll guide you with the System Restore thing.
(Windows XP and Windows 7 are two examples of an O/S)

Post back in a Comment.

Regards,
joecoolvette

(I have kicked the cr@p out of malware for years using Malwarebytes. Everyone has their little favorite. Malwarebytes has done what no other anti-virus can, over the years.

Did I also mention it is FREE?
Also use the free CCleaner, a registry cleaner.

Try tapping either F5 or F8 (can never remember which) as soon as anything shows on the screen on boot. One of these will bring up a short menu with your available choices for boot.

SOURCE: Have internet connection but browser won't open

There are a number of choices to get it working so let's try one at a time:
Click start>run>type cmd to get to DOS prompt>then type ping 127.0.0.1. You should see some packets being sent and packets being received. This is to test that your network card is working. If you do not get any packets received then your network card is bad. If you do get packets received then let me know there are still a couple of options.

I would back up any valuable data and reinstall windows with either a copy of windows or if there is a recovery partition on the hard drive. If you need further assistance please let me know.
Thank you,

Removing New Folder.EXE on your PC and other recurring files.

Hi, to all PC users, having problems with files that you have deleted but recopies itself again and again? Even if you use an anti-virus software, still the file keeps on recopying itself.
This type of virus is what we call malware. usually categories as a virus, but known in the computer world as malware. It usually present on infected flash drives.
Removal;
Instead of using anti virus, use an anti malware software, there are lots of good anti-malware softwares available on the internet for downloads, you can visit www.download.com to get your anti-malware software for free. By the way I am using AD-Aware as my anti malware software. You can also use it side by side with any anti virus software.
It scans the PC for malware active on your PC, once cleaned, by scanning it gets rid of those really disgusting files. After the scan, you can now manually delete the recurring files. These malwares can be in the form of worms, trojans or cookies.
As a piece of good advice, the best time to load anti malware or anti virus softwares are after reformatting your hard drive with a fresh copy of Windows, before any malware or virus sets in.

Computer runs slow

It sounds like you might have some type of virus or other malware.

Here's some things I would recommend to start with:

  1. Install and run a scan with the free version of Malwarebytes, removing any malware items found.
  2. Run a second scan using the ESET online scanner, removing any malware items found
  3. Install and run ccleaner to clean up unneeded temporary files.
If these steps don't resolve the problem, you may want to seek professional help.

REd shield on task bar keeps popping up telling me I have all kinds of vriuses on my computer and asks if I want to fix

You have malware on your computer, more than likely a variant of the "Antivirus 2009" type. Download Malwarebytes using a different computer onto a disk or a usb key. If you cannot or do not have another pc, reboot your pc, when it reboots hit the f8 key repeatedly, the boot menu will come up and boot into "safe mode with networking" this will enable you to download the software. Here is the link: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

After you install it run the quick check and remove what it finds (I would review what it found prior to deleting), then reboot into normal mode and run a full check using the MBAM tool. This may find more malware, same thing applies. If you do an antivirus please run that too, it can run at the same time. You can also download this Microsoft tool to help remove any other malware at http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx

Good Luck

Norton Anti-virus will not launch

If you have access to another computer download avast anti-virus and malwarebytes anti-malware and burn to cd or use a flash drive. Malwarebytes will remove that PC Defender rouge anti-virus software and any other malware you may have,

If you don't have another computer you can download the files to try booting into safe mode with networking. This option should allow you to download and install the programs above,

If your able to download them run anti-malware first. Let t fix what it can. Then install avast anti-virus, when asked if you want to schedule a boot time scan say yes, then when asked to reboot say no and open avast and update it, When prompted to reboot do so.

Hope this helps
