Solved Think I have a virus and need help

PS: Am I being stupid (probably), but why did you say you are new to the board when you have over 12,000 posts?

Not that it matters, thanks either way!

I tried Step 3: GMER, but it didn't seem to work properly. I think that was more to do with me no doing it right rather than the computer.

I also did Step 4: DDS, which seemed to go OK, but then two notepads didn't show up. Any idea where I can find them? Although I probably can't open them either!

Hi, sorry me again!

I just realised I was meant to reinstall any old scanning programs I had. So I uninstalled Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and then reinstalled it. Did the same thing again, this time the notepad file popped straight up. Also, there was a lot less files infected compard to about 20 mins ago when I did it with the older one.

This is what popped up:

Okay, it's asking if I want to restart again... which I will do now!

Hi,

OK everything seems to be working OK again now. Norton can now open and I am undertaking a 'Quick Scan'. Firefox also will now open.

Do you think that means everything is OK again? Should I be doing anything else?

Sorry for the constant harrassment!

No, I'm not new to the board. I just accessed the forum for the afternoon right after you posted.

Every one of those short sentences that you make a new post for sends me email feedback. Please use the Edit feature for these short comments. I think you can cut down on the confusion if you take time to carefully read the instructions.

You Reply #3, 4, 5 and 6 could have all been one post.

Ouch. Okay, I can't apologise enough for that, didn't realise it would be such a problem. In case you hadn't guessed, I'm a complete ***** with computers.

As far as I know, the problem has been sorted. Please let me know if you think that's not the case.

Really am sorry.

You have been a member here for almost a year. I only see one other thread in that time. But I will be frank- however you want to put it- if you don't know enough to read and follow directions, then you shouldn't have a keyboard!

Now that we have that out of the way and I have deleted all the excess emails, let's finish up>> read and follow:

I also did Step 4: DDS, which seemed to go OK, but then two notepads didn't show up. Any idea where I can find them?

Click to expand...

Notepad doesn't 'show up'- you have to open it:
Click on All Programs> Accessories> Hover the cursor over Notepad> Choose 'pin to the Start menu'> also click on 'Send to> Desktop to create a shortcut.
Now you will have Notepad handy when you need to copy and paste a log. Important: when you open Notepad> Click on Format> Uncheck 'Word Wrap' before you coy a log.

Open Notepad> copy each of the DDS logs.

To clear the Java Plug-in cache: Note: There is no log for this:

• 
  [1]. Click Start > Control Panel.
  [2]. Double-click the Java icon in the control panel.
  
  The Java Control Panel appears.
  
  
  
  [3].Click Settings under Temporary Internet Files.The Temporary Files Settings dialog box appears.
  
  
  
  [4] Click Delete Files.The Delete Temporary Files dialog box appears.
  
  
  
  [5]. Click OK on Delete Temporary Files window.
  Note: This deletes all the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the cache.
  [6]. Click Apply> OK on Temporary Files Settings window.

Please update the Adobe Reader: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4969
Then uninstall v9 in Add/Remove Programs.
=======================================

I followed that link and downloaded what you instructed me to. When I double click on it it says:

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgraded patch"

And then that was it.

So I wasn't sure what to do, so I deleted all Adobe progams I had on my computer and then tried it, but got the same message. So on the Adobe website I downloaded: Adobe Reader 10.1.0, Adobe Flash 10.3, and Adobe Air 2.7.

Please let me know if I shouldn't have done that and I will delete them. Not sure how to get past this opening problem.

Thanks.

You did good! I gave you an update link but if the old version was removed before the update, there would not be a program to update.

At any rate, you have the correct versions of all.

Okay, all done. So that's it?

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome! The system is clean and updated and the tools have been removed. I'm leaving some tips to help you keep the system clean:

Tips for added security and safer browsing: (Links are in Bold Blue)

1. Browser Security
   [o] Safe Settings (Please ignore the suggestion to use the Registry Editior in this section "Creating a Custom Security Zone")
   [o] ZonedOut. This manages the Zones in Internet Explorer. (For IE7 and IE8, Windows 2000 thru Vista. No Windows 7)
   [o] Replace the Host Files
   [o] Google Toolbar Pop Up Blocker
   [o]Web of Trust (WOT) Site Advisor. Traffic-light rating symbols show which rate the site for Trustworthiness, Vendor Reliability, Privacy, Child Safety.
   
2. Have layered Security:
   [o]Antivirus :(only one):Both of the following programs are free and known to be good:
   [o]Avira-AntiVir-Personal-Free-Antivirus
   [o] [o]Avast-Free Antivirus
   [o]Firewall (only one): Use bi-directional firewall. Both of the following programs are free and known to be good:
   [o]Comodo
   [o]Zone Alarm
   
3. Antimalware: I recommend all of the following:
   [o]Spywareblaster: SpywareBlaster protects against bad ActiveX.
   [o]Spybot Search & Destroy
   
4. Updates: Stay current:
   [o] the Microsoft Download Sitefrequently. All updates marked Critical and the current SP updates.
   [o]Adobe Reader Install current, uninstall old.
   [o]Java Updates Install current, uninstall old.
   
5. Tracking Cookies
   Reset Cookie:
   [o]For Internet Explorer: Internet Options (through Tools or Control Panel) Privacy tab> Advanced button> check 'override automatic Cookie handling'> check 'accept first party Cookies'> check 'Block third party Cookies'> check 'allow per session Cookies'> Apply> OK.
   [o]For Firefox: Tools> Options> Privacy> Cookies> check ‘accept Cookies from Sites’> Uncheck 'accept third party Cookies'> Set Keep until 'they expire'. This will allow you to keep Cookies for registered sites and prevent or remove others. (Note: for Firefox v3.5, after Privacy click on 'use custom settings for History.')
   I suggest using the following two add-on for Firefox. They will prevent the Tracking Cookies that come from ads and banners and other sources:

   Easy List
   [o]For Chrome: Tools> Options> Under The Hood> Privacy Section> CHECK 'Restrict how third party Cookies can be used'> Close.
   
6. Do regular Maintenance
