EPTNow now my computer is doing exactly what it was doing before, running incredibly sluggish, except I've executed malwarebytes T_T
Should I just keep spam adding spyware via flash drive until it works???

Spybot S+D is okay but get a virus cleaner as well, such as avast /AVG /kaspersky etc Restarting is good Also if ur computer is slow it is not ur wireless card or router You can type in the filenames of processes that take a lot of cpu in google and find out what they are what operating system do u use? in most OS, start menu-> help and support-> search system restore. | ||

I also recommend Spybot S&D, and Super Anti-Spyware (yes I know really corny name, but one of the best free products currently out there). Some other possible pieces of software you might want to download: AVG Anti-Virus Microsoft Security Essentials Also check out this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=109597 | ||

system restore didnt work because of my antivirus program. i think i'm running AVG but every time i get on it tells me that my trial is up and i have to buy it. is that legit? or is it just like mirc where its still running o.o ima try the usb --> safe mode --> malwarebytes thing now how do i run my computer in safe mode? ._. edit: nvm figured safe mode thingy out double edit: when you say malwarebytes anti spyware, do you mean their anti malware? like this? http://malwarebytes.org/ | ||

Anyways I'm sure you can find the free version on their website fairly easily. A few more things, if you're not running Firefox/Chrome then I'd recommend switching, they're much safer then IE. If you get Firefox a very useful add-on is No-Script, it's one of the top Anti-Virus add-ons and should help keep you safe. | ||

even if it goes away apparently be sure to run the full scan and /afk for a bit, and dont re connect to the interweb until a full scan has been completed dont forget to update it too before u scan and these friends of yours dont seem to be very nice friends | ||

Get a usb drive Put malware bytes and spybot S&D on it. Boot in safe mode with networking Install and update both malwarebytes and spybot S&D Run both, delete anything bad. Restart again in safemode (without networking), rescan. If everythings fine, you should be able to just boot up normally. | ||

REINSTALL THE OS. sluggish? ghost it. pop-ups? ghost it. anything non-hardware related that would take any time to figure out? ghost it. edit: back up your stuff first. then REINSTALL YOUR OS!  | ||
