Computer Problems

Mccalljmac · 10-17-2007, 09:14 AM

I am having major computer problems and just need help. It is a Dell with XP on it. The problems began when I received a virus that was Sypware related. Since that time my computer is slow, I have trouble getting into Internet Explorer and downloading anything. A friend recommended I load Zero Spyware to my computer to remove this virus. I did and my computer is still incredibly slow if working at all. I have tried Rogue remover and other programs with no luck whatsoever in resolving the problem.

I have a Dell Computer with XP Windows. Recently, I had a Spyware problem and I tried Rogue Remover and Adware to get rid of it. A friend recommended that I try Zero Spyware to get rid of it. And it did! Since then or as a result of the virus, my computer has been extremely slow and sometimes I cannot get Internet Explorer to open up or it kicks me out while on line. Any suggestions?

Hi and welcome to TSF
Alright tosh, AWC Personal is a final step, not something you use to solve system problems related with security issues.
I personally don't recommend AWC, as it sometimes causes troubles and stuff. Mods please consider removing the link.
Alright to clean up your mess Mccalljmac, first remove Zero Spyware. It's a rouge antispyware program.

And then..
Please follow the instructions here (5 pages) and then post all the requested logs in a new thread here for the security analysts to look at. If you have any trouble running any of the scans, leave them and move onto the next.
