marco 24 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 my computer has a virus but i dont know how its happened,all i can think of is that the kids have been on and they have downloaded something off the game sites but they are free game sites like mouse breaker which they been on many times before,its just happened in the last couple of hours and all these pop ups come up saying buy malware virus buster for $49.95 is it just a scam or is it serious,how has it got past my firewalls and my anti viruses?anyway now its saying your computer is infected with a back door trojan that allows the remote attacker to perform various malicious actions,click this baloon to download malware removal software,fecking bxxxxxxs any help or advice would be much appreciated,cheers marco.

It isn't Microsofts little blue star that says "Your system may be at risk" is it. ? Which usually means you're using a dodgy copy of Windows. If you're using XP, always worth trying System restore. To use System Restore, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swamper 11 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 just a little trick for your spybot S & D to access the resident protector in spybot :- 1 open spybot 2 select 'mode' from the top left hand corner 3 choose 'advanced' 4 click 'yes' in the window that opens 5 click on 'tools' 6 click on 'resident' 7 check the 2 boxes 'resident "sdhelper" and resident "teatimer"' 8 exit spybot this will help keep it cleaner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marco 24 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 swamper it seems alright for now but if it works itself again ill try that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
