A couple of nights ago my computer started acting funny, running slow
and had a new toolbar that i didnt put there, well i thought i had
fixed the virus/spyware or whatever it was, but now my anti-virus
program isnt working. like, i click on the shortcut or the name in the
start list but nothing happens, plus wen im trying to open a word
document from my pen drive it gets as far as saying something about
scanning for viruses. Now word is only opening in safe mode... i really
have no idea what to do and im kinda worried because i have a heap of
assignments i HAVE to be doing at the moment. Any help would be
appreciated, thanks.

Download, install, update and run all of the following.

Ad-Aware
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/aawsepersonal.exe

Spybot search and destroy
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/spybotsd14.exe

Ewido Security Suite Trial version
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/ewidosetup.exe

Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta1)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=321CD7A2-6A57-4C57-A8BD-DBF62EDA9671&displaylang=en

If none of the above fixes the issue then download Hijack this, run it, save
a copy of the log file and cut and paste it back here to this group so that
I can analyze it. Ignore anyone who tells you to post it elsewhere. I need
to see it not them.

Do not download software from unapproved NON-VENDOR sites as you never
know what you are really getting. In this case the vendors have not
approved this person to COPY their software to his site and distribute
it.

Please just do a google search for the Vendors site and get a
legit/approved version that you can feel safe in downloading and running
on your computer.

Also, do not post Hijack logs to this group, there are groups and
message boards specifically that cater to HJ users.

"Do not download software from unapproved NON-VENDOR sites as you never know

Absolutely right. No offense to pcbutts. S/he means well and the links are
probably fine. But as a rule, Leythos is right. In addition to the guarantee
that you're getting genuine software, the vendor's web site has official
information and advice on installing and using the software.

If Butts wanted to properly do it, as he's been told, and based on how
the different vendors ask you to do it, he would post LINKS to the
VENDORS sites like the rest of us do. Two of the vendors I've contacted
about it have not given permission for him to HOST the files on HIS
PRIVATE website - and he's not following their Mirror rules either.

Best thing you can do is to disable system restore which will delete all the
system restore information (also known as system volume infromation) and then
run whats called an MS DOS or safe mode scan , if you have a virus scanner
such as Mcafee or Norton there will be a section on how to do this , once you
have got rid of the infections , re-enable system restore again

hope that helps!
