My pc got some nasty virus

[cqueen]

For some reason my firewall wasnt on and I turned my computer on to a shit load of crap all over my screen.
Ive done spyware search wich has bloacked a load of stuff but there are still things going on like this...
have a look and see what you think of what the mcafee thing says...

What happens if you pull the handle? Do you win?

Had a few of those but not for a long while You can usually find them in the Add/Remove Programs part in the Control Panel. Go through and remove things you don't recognise, or look like they're a bit dodgy. Gambling plugins and whatnot.

Failing that, use the free online virus scanner from Trend, and maybe try AdAware, or your preferred spyware removal device.

I've been using the freebie version of AVG Antivirus (currently AVG 7.1 for Windows) for about 3 or 4 years with no problems. Only got 2 viruses during all that time, and both were picked up and cleaned from the system immediately (and with no adverse effects to the system).
I also use the pop-up blocker which comes as part of the Google toolbar, again with no problems

Screenshot your running processes.

Also try a scan in safe mode, will remove the spyware that was in the computers main memory.

I just system restore and more often than not they have disappeared.

Can't be assed to faff about deleting them.

[JonB]

I suspect you would have been OK to do of done a system restore, rather than a format.

Oh well I done it now, oh I found my Microsoft office btw.

The screenshot provides the full path to the .exe file, why did you not just go and remove it?

[cqueen]

coz ive tried that before and when you go to find them they dont exsist.
Besides there were loads of them and it needed to be done.

Safe mode would have got rid of them all.
