Help with Spyware/Virus removal
Hello,
First time here and thought I would see if I could get some help. I have a virus/spyware that is really bothering me. It changed my desktop background to a blue screen that says "Warning: Spyware threat has been detected on your PC. Along with some links. I get random webpage popups. I get security alets that say my computer is infected. My task manager is disabled. I have Spybot search and destroy on my PC but when I click to open it Spybot won't even open. I read through the 8 steps to remove spyware sticky and I started going through them and I downloaded Malwarebytes and when I click to open it the program won't even start. Can anyone help? Please? |

Welcome to TS. It's regrettable that this thread was not acknowleged in a timely manner. I am trying to anticipate your needs.
First - Quote:
Presently, the method being used for this type of infestation (non-plug and play) is becoming more ‘typical’. Successive scans are used to uncover additional infections, since masking is common with many infestations. When a tool reports something it can not clean, that's when the strategy calls for a stronger scanner. The sequence for applying the scanners begins with the standard scanners (fully updated) and ends with the stronnger cleaner, with a side benifit that it adds information about the comparative effectiveness among the tools. The TDSS exploit (among other non-plug and play driver exploits) is quite the rage. The temptation is to package a method for this. However, the result would be quite lengthy and possibly confusing, since it is not possible to anticipate contributing factors. We will supplement our guide with a special scan / tool. Overview -
Supplement to guide. Successive scans used to uncover additional infections.
