Problems with computer, I think it's spyware

raison8 · 07-05-2009, 04:57 PM

I have had a lot of problems with my computer lately. I was able to fix a few things but it seems like every time I fix something, another problem pops up. Here are the problems I have currently and if anyone could help with any that would be great. Every time I click a link on something like google, I'll be redirected to weird sites and they aren't the same every time. I can't get my defragger to work, everytime I click analyze or defrag it will say "Disk Defragmenter could not start." Also, sometimes, there will be random noises coming from my speakers even when I have no windows or programs running. My computer was recently Hijacked by the system security virus. I figured out how to get it off my computer by going into safe mode and deleting some files. Even though this is off my computer, I will sometimes boot my computer and after the windows loading screen, it will go black and I won't be able to do anything but move the mouse on the black screen. The icing on this cake is that occasionally my whole computer will freeze and I'll have to restart it. If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

You are still infected. Boot into Safe Mode with Networking. Download CCleaner, delete temp files and run Registry cleaner too. Download malwarebytes run full scan, delete nasties.

Well I did the CCleaner and am doing the malwarebytes scan now but I'm just wonderin how do delete temp files.

When you Run CCLeaner, you Analyze your drive it shows you a bunch of Temp files and you choose to Run Cleaner. It deletes your Temp files.

I don't know how well that worked because my defragger won't work still and google is still sending me to random sites.

I recommend that you visit the malware forum.

http://www.techsupportforum.com/secu...oval-help.html

Run the steps listed in the above link and then if needed post the required logs

an someone from the malware forum will assist with cleaning the system.

Please post the log in that forum not here. Be patient as that is a busy forum.
