uhm also, some viruses disable task manager and folder options, you may want to add how to enable them again using regedit or other ways, sorry to I'm too lazy to do it inside school | ||

 I just got this hit yesterday. Basically the same thing as kwark, but for Vista. I spent most of yesterday and today trying to do some of the steps found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=67148. But I couldn't get anything running every time I tried to load a webpage on IE for an online scan it wouldn't let me and just redirect me to the malwares fake website. This happened with programs too my antivirus and no other programs would not load saying "program".exe could not be executed because it was infected and the malware would then shut it down. Couldn't even get task manager up. Basically I had pop-ups non stop and things telling me to register for the fake antivirus thing and that someone was attacking/hacking me. I just did a system restore to three days earlier and it seems to be working fine now. Simple question am I safe or it the virus still here, just not visible? All I could manage to do is do a system restore. Doing a full computer scan now, but its going to take a while to finish. Any help is appreciated. | ||

Not sure exactly what you mean, I don't do computers too well. I got the Vista Antivirus thing as well, I decided not to fuss about it and just reformatted to Windows 7 (from Vista). It created a Windows.old folder with all my old things, is the virus still there? Or did it not take the files which had the virus in them? I just looked, there's a system32 folder in there, but I didn't want to poke around. Should I pull my files off, then delete it? Or am I safe to keep it? | ||
