sigh, i got a virus...

[hardr0ck68]

Well actually a trogen i suspect. I stupidly opened an exe file sent from a friends aim account. Sigh, what a tard i am. So now i got this nasty undeletable bastard of a trogen on my system. Right now im running every virus checker under the sun. AGV, clamwin, Bitdefender, not to mention my spyware stuff (one can hope right?) i have tried blasting the file with killbox, but thats a no-go i just get it reinstalled. grrrrrrr (i had to delete the F-word twice already...)

The file keeps reinstalling itself in WINDOWS\system32\directx.sys

i think tomarrow i will be running hijack this and seeing is anyone over on Virtual DR. can help me outta thig. If that doesnt work, i will break down and cry; then re-formate and spend the next month re-downloading my Steam games.

Sigh

Hijack This should take care of it.

make sure to turn of windows restore or w.e (cant think of name right now). cause sometimes viruses etc.. use that to reinstall themselves..... so turn that off and run everything you can think of CWS Spybot AdAware Norton Hijackthis etc..... and if not well idk what to tell ya


oh and if you know the name of it go to like symantec or macafee site and search it and it should give you excellent directions for removing it
if that doesnt work google it

[hardr0ck68]

yeah i tried google, but this particular lil bugger seems to re-name itself something random upon every install. So all i can find is half of it, in my system32 file.

I ran about everything, i turned up a couple different viruses that cannot be deleted, there probably fron net p0rn, or maybe this guys buddies; idk. tonight its definastly time for hijack this and some professional help

[maxama10]

yeah
you could always try windows restore...? i guess

[wad04]

thats why i have gaim.

[hardr0ck68]

i could do a windows restor, if i ever bothered to back up anything other than my MP3's. i know thats my bad, but i dunno, my programs change so much so often, i dont bother. Most everything is freeware, or games, so no biggy. i just dont wanna re-format to fix this.

So far it looks like my e-ennama (sp?) has cleaned this nasty out. I still need to do a hijack this scan and post the results somewhere, maybe tomarrow.

If anyone needs me i will be in dod:S!
