Hello and welcome to Techspot.

I have moved your thread to our security forum, as your system is undoubtedly infected with malware.

Very Important: Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread HERE and decide what it is you want to do.

If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.

Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs as Attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.

Also, let me know the results of the Panda Antirootkit scan.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

more questions haha

so if i use it (my comp) to purchase things online, pay for my car, and check my bank statements should i reformat? and if so any ('cheap') programs that you recommend cuz i lost my disc that came with my comp (i'm an ***** i know) cuz even without internet (when i turn my wireless button off) my comp is not as slow as with internet but still pretty slow.
also, is it true that songs and videos (although i got rid of the videos) and pictures (lots of songs and pics... sorta lol) that i downloaded from limewire, well except for most of the pics are part of the reason my comp is soooo slow?


lastly (thanx for your patience) so if u think i should just clean my comp then i follow the directions in your first reply?
and do you recommend any anti-virus (again preferably on the 'cheaper' side)? mine is up and have yet to get a new one, which i'm sure is prob why my comp got so slow in the first place.

thanx again for your patience and help
 
Normally, if you use your system for online banking etc, you should reformat.

However, since you don`t have a Windows cd, you`re going to find that pretty difficult.

So, you have two choices. Either purchase a new Windows CD and reformat, or go for the cleaning option.

I must warn you, that if you choose to go with the cleaning option, I can`t guarantee the safety of your private data.

Regards Howard :)
