just backup your shit on a disk and format takes about 1 hour max, this will make your pc clean, fast, gosu, everything again. Even if you are able fix all this crap it will still be messed up with bullshit.

Somebody might have already mentioned this but if you haven't already, turn off DEP, I assume your using windows vista.

Open a command prompt as an administrator and type: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

I've found that DEP does more harm to you than good in protection. It doesn't actually protect you from anything it only shuts things down after they've become infected, and more times than not it shuts things down that you don't want shut down. Many coders are exploiting DEP and writing scripts that use it to shut everything down on your system sounds like you got hit with something nasty. After saving everything I'd definitely just reinstall windows.

definitely the best way... you'll still have a lot of trouble when "cleaning" up your system now without formatting

just do it and get it over with... your system is gonna be clean again without further problems (until this happens again :p)

I don't know if you moved an avi file to your desktop recently. However, some avi files for whatever reason windows explorer thinks are viruses or something and it keeps giving those data execution messages. This really fucked up one of my presentations when I tried to show these movie clips and it kept complaining that I was data executing. If you did download an avi file, you can just delete it and everything will be fine.

try an online scanner......and ya you will have to manually start explorer along with maybe ie or firefox if you need it...but online scanners would take less tiem then installing an antivirus thing and all that other shit. Either that your wipe your system clean!

Do you have access to the web?
If so, try this to scan your PC: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ free only scan (work great).

Also, stop anything that you don't know for sure you need in Start -> Run -> msconfig -> Startup tab

Take a look of the services that are running on your PC in Start -> Run -> services.msc
Look at every single services that are installed and look at the description of each one. If it sound weird, disable it. (Even if it's not Started)




This is really funny because he obviously has internet, cause he's POSTING HERE.

Unless he's on another computer, but it doesn't seem like it.

Hopefully you can learn to overload your computer with billions of virus protection, scanners, anti-spyware, safe-surfing, and more!

i.e.
avast!
AVG
Sygate
McAfee
Norton (which sucks)
CCleaner
HijackThis!
Comodo
AntiVir Personal
Ad-Aware

I'm sure you can find plenty more.

I use about... three of those simultaneously.

O.o
i see a lot of ppl saying "virus" makes start bar disappear
start bar disappears when explorer.exe closes, so it might be just a regular windows crash
windows sux, btw
most commonly, to fix it u need to restart, safemode, or ctrl+shift+esc and run explorer.exe again
other than that, yeah, u prolly got pwnd by virus

oh, oops
didnt read the posts
uh.... anyways.... firefox is kewl?
antivirus suggestion: panda antivirus (used by some corporations and such)
erm, i didnt read all of these posts, but i promote firefox
firefox's addons are awesome (if u know which ones to download)
some addons are unreliable, as they might lower its security when u install them, but there are addons that actually improve it (like adblock, talkback, etc)
i dont really have a malware blocker, but i never find any when i scan, so.....
