I've just downloaded and installed a software called "Bandoo". It provides emoticons for Yahoo Messenger and MSN. After a few minutes, I don't like this, so I uninstalled and reboot my computer. Now my pc is messed up. Can't go to Google, can't go too Youtube, internet speed is slowed down, even gbatemp is slow as hell.
How can I get rid of this "bandoo" thing ?

Definitely malware.

Removal:
Shows you how to remove rogues, but works for other viruses too (By me):

Use combofix from bleepingcomputer.com, then download malwarbytes(you may need to rename the installer/setup to something like winlogon.exe to be

able to run or install it) from malwarebytes.com or softpedia.com, then clean the rest of the virus with superantispyware and Hitman Pro 3.5 from

softpedia.com/cnet.com and just in case you do have a rootkit on your system use GMER from majorgeek.com(Use gmer to scan and anything in red

delete.)

Future Protection use this wizard to recommend security protection for your system:

or go to safe mode and then do the above:


To get into Safe Mode with Networking:

1. Log out and reboot your machine.
2. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.
3. Select Safe Mode with Networking from the resulting menu.

wtf o.o I have bandoo and i have no problems what so ever..... er maybe its not from the official site?

It's a malware/ spyware, I've just found that after doing some quick look on Yahoo Answers (damn Google is blocked so I have to use Bing)
Now I can scroll down the thread but it doesn't load immediately like normal, it takes about 10 or 20 seconds.
 
Malwarebyte scanning completed. Here is the log:

Seems like no "bandoo" was scanned
 
*cough*THE-FUCKING-STICKY*cough*

Given the log that looks like a separate infection you picked up from the web (since it deposited itself in application data). If it was bandoo itself it'd be in a more permanent location, and would likely not be picked up by malwarebytes or other scanners unless PuP scanning was turned on (since when installing some adware if you agree to the EULA you give them legal permission so they don't count as an infection even though they may be adware).

For more info, read the sticky.
 
My computer has been back to normal. Thanks a lot to tigris and Takeshi. And sorry Rydian, I was in a hurry then trying to fix my computer as soon as possible, so I didn't see that sticky one.
The moderator can close this thread now
