Gaming I got a virus ¬¬

[raulpica]

Yea, malware bytes is still scanning, so still waiting for that..
If it doesnt work, Im gonna look into that combofix.

Edit:
Thank you all. Malware Bytes saved my computer, so thank you Zeromac

The last time I tried it, Combofix won't work on Windows7.

Spybot Search & Destroy is a good free spyware remover that also gets rid of stuff like what you just experienced. I also has an immunizer utility that blocks a lot of crap from ever being allowed in the PC in the first place.

Spywareblaster is a good one to have and keep updated. While it doesn't "clean" spyware, it's like the immunizer in Spybot, it actively prevents certain crap files from being allowed in your computer.

Adaware is a popular one, but Malrwarebytes seems to have taken over the necessity for it. And you already used Malwarebytes....

If I suspect I have some spyware, I run all 4, between them, at least one of them usually takes care of whatever problem that might have gotten in. Can't speak for my brother though.

Mmkay, thanks for the tips!
I'm gonna download those too, just to be safe in the future

Don't get too happy yet, be sure to run this as well.

You should also post a HiJackThis log and someone may know how to read it (I do a bit)

Since this topic is about viruses and anti-malware etc.

If you had to pick two out of the three for which is best, which would it be?

NOD32
AdAware
MalwareBytes

I'm curious to know...

Geez, if they're gonna name it after a legit system process (I have 2 csrss.exe instances running and no viruses/spyware etc) at least make it look right. The real thing is run under SYSTEM and not your user, and in English has a description of "Client Server Runtime process"

http://hiajckthis.de has an analyzer that takes a lot of time out of reading the logs.

In windows Vista/7 you can right-click a process and view where it's running from, so you can see if it's located in the right folder or not, too.

Do you bother reading the posts before you? The problem has been fixed so stop bumping threads from months ago!

Your running windows 7 eh? doesn't look like it in the picture.

That my friend, is called a theme

So, besides AVG, what's another free anti virus that doesnt eat your CPU?

And gonna try the Malwarebytes anti malware thing now.

I use Avira and I haven't had anything negative since.
In combination with CCleaner, my PC's been in great condition.

I've been contemplating MalwareBytes, but I haven't gotten around to it for some reason.

who ever suggested Combofix was a GENIUS!!!! My personal laptop, I took it to school for my music, but it got a virus through the school's network (even the laptops they give us have them) and i didnt know how to fix it.

Thanks So Much!!!
