I had the same thing, if you can get Avast antivirus somehow do it and schedule a boot time scan, it will get rid of anything and manually ask you to delete it.

It's entirely possible that Testie didn't do anything shady.

E.g. in the past, there have been times where malicious ads were being shown on many legitimate websites. They weren't noticed by the ad company because the ads were designed to behave as normal ads if the visitor's IP address belonged to the company.

IIRC even wordpress.com was affected by something like this, and it hosts many legitimate websites.

well despite scanning firefox still seems owned.
When I open it up it still has pop-ups (which hasn't happened to me for like, 2 years.. or ever on firefox). Takes me to some car dealership place etc and im like 'wat..'

No, reformat takes forever. Its not simple, its a bitch. Even if you back up all your files you still have to reinstall (and uninstall, if its a store bought PC) all the bullshit. It takes hours. Then you have to update everything. Then you have to organize everything. Then you have to change all the windows settings and properties/appearance and shit back how you like it.

Format is always always the very last option.

May be a pain in the ass for a power user but not for someone that doesn't even know what format is mostly cuz they could care less about set up and more about how it runs.

Reformatting on my comp even with fast hdd and multiple storage usually takes me 3 4 hours to get it back to where i would like it from start to finish. But on the bright side my comp is usually cleaner getting rid of software that i no longer use keeping reg clean etc also i get to speak to some great people in India to active my cd key...

+ Show Spoiler [Izzy rant] +
Cuz internet security is bull shit. I mean even the ceo of Trend Micro said just buying antivirus is pointless. Has to be a full security package from firewall to sweeper etc. Also ionno why people say norton is shit it's number 1 in terms of total security for their security suites it just lacks the power of kaspersky sweeper that checks for things that might be viruses but norton does better is getting already known viruses etc legacy ones. Also norton is more noob friendly. I would use kaspersky personally thou if i ever would use something like that. Also usually once you feel the effects of a virus it's usually already too late some shit just doesn't want to go. It's what DOS command line power is for just rip that shit right out of the computer.

I ran malwarebytes, and got rid of 47 affected files. I don't know how to do this hijackthis stuff though. =p

Edit: When I went to the hijackthis site, it closed the browser. This thing is a dick.

You just got hijacked try different browers. Try IE in safe mode
Use your alt ctrl delete
New task
run
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff
or
iexplore -extoff
both do the same thing

You have an Explorer extension / virus that is causing explorer to crash. The DEP message means Explorer or some addon to explorer crashed. If you don't have any viruses (malwarebytes should confirm that), use AutoRuns to remove any unneeded IE / Explorer addons, also try http://r-1.ch/ShellExtensionManagerXP.zip to remove even more unneeded junk.

Anybody who puts a virus on another persons computer deserves a punch in the dick.
Srsly.

btw barring any increased imba shit in the virus, I should be able to play just fine.
I logged on BW and tested to see if it still works.
It does. ;p

"Forever" A quick format takes like 2minutes? Then you have too install windows which is pretty much 100%automated thats about 20~ min. Installing drivers 15min (just spam next and reboot) download firefox and install starcraft both take 10min included downloading.

how can this be hard ? Even if you have no clue what your doing you can't fuck up. Its just spamming next next next yes yes yes yes and done.
