Hey, yesterday I managed to have got myself a virus which has really affected my internet connection. I think it may have come from a file I tried to download from Rapidshare, or possibly from a Limewire file. I have ran SuperAntiSpyware free edition, Ad-Aware Professional, AVG Antivirus and the full version of SpySweeper Antivirus, and none of them can detect/get rid of the virus.

The only clue I have as to what virus it is, is when I ran SpySweeper, the virus "Wimad-E" came up. However when I tried to Quarantine it, it came up that the quarantine had "failed", so I assume it is still on my computer.

The virus has really messed up my internet connectivity. It keeps cutting off randomly and saying it has "limited connectivity". When I type something in Google and then click on the link of a result, it doesnt take me to the desired page but instead opens a new tab where something completely different shows up. Therefore the only way I can get into websites is by clicking the "cached" button. Because its difficult to get to many websites (most of them simly just dont load) its hard to download an antivirus, but as I've said anyway, I've already ran a few different spyware programs and none of them can delete it. I even downloaded Avira and tried to run it, but when i try I get the message "some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy."

If anyone could please help me out I'd really really appreciate it as this virus, whether it is Wimad-E or something else, is really messing my computer up.

Please help me!!!!!!!!

Thanks

See, this is one of the problems its created... I really appreciate your help but the links won't load. I get the "The connection was refused when attempting to contact download.bleepingcomputer.com." message when I click on the links. Like I said, most websites just wont load and this is why this virus is such a pain in the arse, I cant generally download anything to remove it. How about if I restart my computer in Safe Mode with Networking? Will I be able to download your links then??

Thanks

See if you can get it from here.

Ummm so I managed to download it, closed everything that was running, all internet windows and antispyware protection and ran it. But all I got was a load screen that went to 100% and vanish after half a second. So I waited a minute or so but nothing else came up. Then I went to move my mouse and realised my computer had completely frozen and i had to restarrt it. Sooo, any ideas? :(

Follow the instructions the malware expert above is giving you.

Removing these infections is a intricate process.

[LiamRepiso]

I did follow them, but if you read my reply you'd see that I explained that the file made my PC freeze.

You need to be a little more patient then and wait for evilfantasy to return.

Try to run it this way.

Close all other browser windows.

Go to Start > Run and copy/paste in the following:

"%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /killall

Press Enter and Combofix will begin to run.

When finished, it will produce a log file located at C:\ComboFix.txt

Post the contents of that log in your next reply.

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to stall.
