Hi,

Having recently downloaded a program file to my computer I am starting to get endless pop-ups and adverts coming up on my computer when on the internet. I have took a friends advice and got rid of my fee virus software and uploaded Avast and subscribed to that also I have subscribed to RegCure and XoftSpySE and have Spybot Search and destroy. The problem started when I had a trojan loaded on with the program file which I downloaded (Vundo Trojan). Having put these virus programs on I have managed to remove the trojan I think and the computer is running fine but I keep on getting these pop-ups and when I run the virus software the bring up more stuff and sometimes the same stuff as before but thankfully not the trojan. Any hep and advice would be great. Oh pop-up blocker se to max, one error found on XoftSpySE is 'Internet Explorer firewall breach' but removes and comes back.

Regards,

John.

well, first and foremost let's get started on the infection:

[font=Tahoma]Please do this:

· Click here to download HJThis.exe
· Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
· Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
· By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
· Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Additional Tasks dialogue.
· Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
· Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
· At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
· Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
· Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
· Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
· DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.


later we can deal with the legal issues of downloading stuff from torrent sites. Unless the bosses say we deal with them first. :)

Valis mate that link is not working.

RE: Torrents

There is a fine line I think, current rules forbid the discussion on how to circumvent copyright law, so the discussion on how to use torrents is not ok.

This topic is ok for now as it is not overstepping that mark.

But at the end of the day don't use illegal file sharing networks, go and buy the stuff you want, it is theft.

You definitely had vundo; those are all abandoned .dll files left by it. Regardless, reboot and post a new log.

Thanks,

Don't worry said sight is never going to be used and my so called mate is going to get a stern word when I see him tomorrow.

As for my program I have found a better opiton and purchasing a legit disk!

Such sights should not exsist!

My appologies for mentioning said sight!

Computers are a big learning curve to myself so Lesson learnt!

Have found a sight regarding the legality of the use of these sights and fully understand your points as I was not 100% aware!

We all learn valuable lessons John and you have learned one today.
Normally I would have shut this post down and the only reason I didn't is because you realised just what trash these sites peddle.

Now stick with Valis's advice and he will try his best to get you back on track.
