SUPER anti spyware and malwarebytes are great btw, not so sure about spybot and the others

how does AVG rate against the other free anti virus software in terms of detection and real time protection?

Good if remember correctly. I think youtube has plenty of clips regarding that and you can probably find first hand sources using google!

I personally use nod32 that I assumed was veery good but after being very badly hurt by smitfraud trojans right under the nose of nod32 I now have doubt.

Also I would like to point out that my opinion is not professional at all as I only studied Internet security for a total of 7.5 swedish HP, (it was 6 weeks of studies) so anything I say could be wrong. Should've warned plexa about that lol

btw I successfully removed Smitfraud with SS&D.

Which more than enough, I was following this thread and you did everything pretty well short of picking apart the HijackThis log. There really isn't a need for professional advice as anyone with access to google can make a legitimate attempt at fixing their computer (because nobody is alone come spyware and viruses)

nod32/eset smart security is a great av/firewall combo. Low resource usage and unobtrusiveness is great in comparison to the competeition*cough* Norton *cough*. However that said EVERY av in existance is only as good as it's signature database/heuristic detections. Most trojans and virus will be undetectable for a period of time until the av companies catch on.

You got unlucky but it's still a great product, at the end of the day there is no 100% protection.

at least its rated as a very low threat, so if you are infected its not likely to be a disabling virus but more of an annoyance?

It downloads other malware is very hard to get rid off. Not sure why they rank it as low threat

That rings true to me. I guess you can't trust any software the way I did. I didn't even have additional removal software installed a lesson i've learned now.

Everytime i "correctly" turn off my comp, it fucks up when i have to start it back up again. I get a error message and I have to fix the errors with my windows CD which takes 5 to 10 minutes.
Now when I want to turn off my comp, I hold the power button for 5 seconds which kills the power and my comp starts up fine the next time around.
These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.

nitram I suffered from similar problems when using SUPER anti-spyware. So i suggest this:

win+r -> type msconfing -> autostart -> google everything you don't recognizing in your startup. Uncheck one thing at the time and then reboot to see if it did the trick.

Whatever causes the error should be reinstalled. Also, I actually missed that Plexa posted a hijack this log, I understand those a little bit so please post one
