Computer responding slowly and adverts appearing in new tabs in browers =[
Hey guy's
I restarted my pc yesterday and i noticed something different about my computer weither i downloaded something i shouldnt have i dont know, but i noticed all my "old.windows" files were appearing from my last vista installation like googlewebaccelerator and some other stuff i installed on my other installation some months ago along with the slowing down and unresponsiveness of my pc. So i went into safe mode and ran some spybot checks and it detected adware virtuamonde and virtuamonde.dll it managed to delete virtuamonde, except the virtuamonde.dll and after that i unistalled varouis things and stopped some startup applications you know just a little housekeeping just to make sure it wasn't any other programs effecting i uninstalled firefox 3rc1 even though it was showing as beta 5 so i installed firefox2 (i was more happy with firefox 2) and deleted whatever trace i could of firefox beta 5 and rc1 and i also uninstalled my anti virus NOD32 as the firewall and anti-spam module said it was malfunctioning or corrupt (i was using the trial at the time) So upon returning to the normal desktop spybot ran a scan again and detected virtuamonde.dll this is how i knew it didn't delete it properly, so i told spybot to try and delete it and if it is still in my system i do not know now even thing seems better than it was yesterday but the main problems I'm having is - Firefox opening another tab show adverts when i click on a link or tpye in a address etc.. - Vista has recently been annoyed when i delete stuff it it takes a while for it come up with the message do you want to send it to the recycle bin? - Windows update is giving me this message error(s) found: code 80070422 and when i try to get help its being unresponsive On the attachments are my DSS scan and also my everest system specs thank you for any help i would really appreciate it. Oops in firefox it wont even let me manage attachments. |
