I used my three recovery CD’s I had made a year ago and re-did everything. I ran AVG, Norton, and several other anti-virus programs. Here is what is going on: From my Yahoo main page, I do a search. On the search results page, EVERY search result is a re-direct to buy junk or fake anti-spyware programs! When I have Google search as main page, this doesn’t happen. I can’t find any original discs, just my three recovery discs. Those took 2 1/2 hours to re-do the hard drive! I thought that would take care of it. Okay, DON’T click on this or cut and paste it: http://rds.yahoo.com/*bleep* is what is the problem. That "bleep" is a bunch of letters and numbers that re-direct Yahoo search to send me to a website to sell me junk. This virus/adware program seems to be the only one left on my computer. FIVE anti-virus sites have failed, and three recovery discs have failed, and I can’t find any original software for my HP Pavilion laptop (bought in 2006). Ideas??
By the way, I did ALL of the anti-virus stuff in Normal mode AND safe modes.

Every time I search using Google I get redirected to an oriental page. When I click on Google.com I am sent to a page that is trying to sell me an anti virus software.
I scanned my PC using several (free) anti virus programs, it picked up two trojans which I removed.
The Google search redircting is still not resolved.
I have no problem searching with Yahoo.
Pls help if you can.

Ok, my computer is all screwed up, or so i think it is. run a Windows defender scan and it says i have a Severe Trojan virus called: Trojan:Win32/Vundo/gen!L and i press "apply actions" a window then pops up saying that it needs to send some info to Microsoft to gain information about the things to further the effectiveness of windows defender. so i do send the information and it says it encountered a problem "one or more actions could not be completed successfully". So i check for updates as it recommends and there is none. great I’m screwed. so i then go to my McAfee and do a scan, the scan stops in the middle of it and shuts down the McAfee program Wonderful what now? So then i notice on Internet explorer that is i type something in to google say Myspace and click on the myspace link it directs me to a totally different site such as Elle magazine ?!?! i have no idea whats going on is that caused my the virus?

next i look up best Anti-virus softwares and find Spyware Doctor… and i just found out i have a shit load of threats and infections T_T

10 threats and 344 infections to be exact i have 2 highs, 2 mediums ,4 lows, and 2 "info & PUAs" great, great now im stuck.

I have read questions regarding virus removal but I am posting my issue so I can give details and get the correct help. I had McAfee installed when this happened. My computer started getting strange error messages at start up such as Error loading c:\windows\system32\calc.dll the specified module could not be found. Also when I Google something then click on a link I get redirected to some other page that has nothing to do with what I clicked. Now when I shut the computer off and turn it back on everything on my desktop is gone except for the tray at the bottom which keeps showing a bubble telling me to open the security center and when I click that icon in the tray it proceeds to scan the pc, tells me I have 40 known threats and gives me the option to remove them or proceed unprotected when I click remove it shows me a screen where I have to pay. When I use my mcafee to scan the system it says there are no known threats. I also have been receiving popups for what claims to be a "make money with google" site and my popup blocker is on and I haven’t received a popup in years. Does any one have any idea what is going on and what I can do. Also I don’t hav the Windows XP disc because my pc had it already installed when I purchased it.
When I reboot the pc so I can start in safe mode I get a blue screen message whenever I chose safe mode. It says a problem has been detected and the computer is shutting down. The reason I came here to get help to do it on my own is because I’m not able to take it to someone to pay for it getting fixed. So I reeally appreciate evryones help.
I went to the help forums suggested by Sly_Old… and MrGrump and was not able to download the programs that I need to start the halp process because it says my security settings won’t allow me to download it. What could be causing that I have not changed any internet security settings and even when I check everythings the same as I left it. I don’t know what else to do I’m getting kinda discouraged.

Virus Trouble or Sluggish PC?

Share This

My Antivirus program, Panda Internet Security, is running out soon. It’s been pretty good, I’ve used Panda for years, and I’m thinking of switching. Maybe just for a new experience, maybe because I could save some pennies. Panda has been one of the more expensive of the handful of internet security options that Microsoft have recommended over the last few years.

I heard that Kapersky Internet Security is a good program. I went to Google shopping, and searched for offers. The price is O.K. anyway, at around £23 (British pounds), though there are O.E.M. versions in the Google shopping list at nearly half this price. Checking if O.E.M. is legal - it seems it depends on the license that each program is issued to the company selling it under. So, it seems that if you buy from a reputable company, they will know what they are doing and won’t be breaking the terms from the software company.

But people warn against buying O.E.M. software which isn’t supplied with a machine or for your own build, because you don’t get typical support for the program. Is that for real?

What would be the point of selling O.E.M. antivirus software, legally, with a 1 year license for use with updates if you weren’t entitled to the antivirus support? Like sending a virus your computer is suffering to the software co., and allowing the software co. (if the offer it) remote access to your machine to help it.

What happens here? Please advise me if you know, and if you are someone who has bought O.E.M. antivirus programs before and know about the support available. Especially if you know about Kapersky. I’m all for the sale of O.E.M. software where it’s legal - the redundant programs that companies have bought in good faith, in bulk usually, would just be left sitting there, with user licenses intact, if they weren’t sold on. And it would seem silly not to buy cheaper O.E.M. if it’s as good for you as the retail versions.

use the internet service/set up an e-mail address with the main provider? I recently purchased a new computer (an inexpensive eMachine). The computer seems to have internet service through Google which I don’t really use and I have not set up an e-mail account with Google. I do have e-mail with Yahoo and through Comcast Cablevision which is my major provider/the one I am paying for. Both Comcast and Yahoo already have spyware/virus protection with their service. If I don’t set up an e-mail address through the Google account, do I need to install the "temporarily" free antivirus software (or go buy it elsewhere) that the computer keeps prompting me to do?

I was searching for some pictures on google image search until I saw a really scandalous celebrity image. In a fit of curiosity, I clicked on it and it redirected me to a porn site. I quickly stopped running javascript, went back to the previous screen and deleted my history. I’m worried though, that maybe my playstation got a virus/spyware? It hasn’t been acting strange, but I’m still concerned. How do I find out? Is there any way I can run a spyware/virus check? Is there anti-spyware/anti-virus software I can get anywhere? (I update my Ps3 regularly-would I have downloaded the Trend-Micro anti-virus automatically? - I bought the playstation last month). Thanks

Please help! My computer seems to be under attack by viruses and when I try to search for them, the virus directs the websites.

I have a virus on the computer I am using and I just bought this laptop but when I connected online with my new laptop it got viruses right away and I didn’t even download anything I went to 5 very secure websites like google, facebook,yahoo, hotmail, And I accidently went to watch-movies((((.com)))) instead of watch-movies((((.net))))…

(That could had given me the virus)

But is there any chance that the virus got from this computer to my laptop?

Or is there a virus in my router… Is that possible?

I don’t know anything about computers…

A couple of months ago, my younger brother visited and used my laptop while he was here. Since then, I’ve unnsuccessfully tried to take all of the adware and spyware off of my computer. It worked for a while, but now this is just getting ridiculous. I downloaded Windows Live Care antivirus software on my desktop, and it cleaned all of the virus’s off. I want to get it on my laptop, but I don’t have Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed. I’ve got my computer set so that it automatically updates everything, but still no service pack. I went to the windows update site using IE, but it comes up with an error message. Here’s the exact message, maybe you can decipher it:
[Error number: 0x80248015] "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem."

I also cannot search Google or get onto certain sites or click on certain links while using Firefox. These work in IE, but then I get bombarded with pop-ups.
I need to be able to get updates on this laptop, and I need to find a way to get Windows XP Service Pack 2 so that I can get the Windows Live antivirus, etc.
This is the computer I need to use for school, and I’d really like to be able to use it again.

I’m usually pretty good with computers, but I’m at a loss with this one. I can’t spend any money or buy a new computer.
Help? =(

I don’t have an Anti-virus software installed in my computer. That’s because I’ve upgraded to Common Sense 2009. Why buy pricey anti-virus softwares when you can use your brain! That’s right, If you actually put your mind into removing any virus from your computer you’ll realize it wasn’t that hard. All you’d need to successfully run Common Sense in your computer are:

1. Google
2. A brain
3. Internet access.

Why settle for crappy software that tend to scare the shit out of you and annoy you when you can easily notice when you’re computer is slowing up and acting strangely run diagnostics on it and presto. You’ve successfully used Common Sense 2009.

Which anti-virus software do you guys use?

I have Sony Vaio GRZ530 laptop

I bought it used and reinstalled fresh copy of windows but it runs way too slow… lags a lot and even when i go on youtube most of the time video pauses and lags.

Pentium 4
2.40Ghz
596 MHZ
512 MB Ram

1: Well there is NO mallware, addware or virus.. I scanned it using Kaspersky and mallwarebytes.

2: I do use Registry Mechanic time to time so no issue there.

My previous Celeron laptop with 512 Mb memory used to work much much faster then this P4

I can see explorar.exe using most of the memory most of the time

Sometimes svchost.exe uses all the memory

Even if i use google Chore.. well laptop still runs slow…

Can someone help me?

Long story short (and I won’t give you a sob story) I bought a few years old tablet-pc (laptop w/ stylus and turning screen) so I can take notes in class. I’m in highschool, taking (literally) the hardest classes available in the US. If you don’t know what the IB program is, Google it. I’m a senior IB Diploma student, and again Google that if you aren’t familiar with the International Baccalaureate program.

Anyway, sorry to draw that out but I bought this laptop, used it to take notes as a tablet pc and that worked great. Now it died and it’s going to cost me more than I paid to fix it.

Does anyone have a laptop they don’t need anymore? I can pay shipping, etc, whatever’s needed but I just don’t have any money to purchase another computer.

Believe me when I say this: I’m not picky at all. Also I can re-install Windows or remove a virus or something if it needs something like that.

If you think you can help at all please do let me know.

Thank you!!
People, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect this to turn into…this.

I don’t know how to prove it’s not a scam. I mean, anything that anyone would give me isn’t probably gonna be worth selling now is it?

Now I know how the internet works and I suppose I should have expected this…regarding a job, has anyone here taken a look at the job market??

Believe me or don’t, I’ve looked for a job. I took economics last year; the economy is a pretty bad shape right now. Otherwise I think I would have a job and have bought a working computer by now.

I’ll try craigslist, thanks. Hadn’t thought of that.

If you find this offensive I’m sorry. I’ll see about pulling the question. I was just trying to see if, as people regularly upgrade their laptops, anyone had one they didn’t want anymore…possibly sitting in a closet or the like.

I’m pretty positive I just got a virus or spyware. My net goes real slow, I keep getting popups, and somehow it changes my google searches. I see in m task manager a ew weird things runing, like chkntfs.exe, and v6.exe. What is a good FREE spyware removal? Last time I used what was supposed to be a good free one, it deleted a system file so I’m wary. And I can’t search google because this thing won’t let me. Help please!!
I’m pretty sure it was Adaware SE that ruined my PC last time. Can someone recommend programs (free) that they have used before which have worked well?

Is the antivirus software you buy on eBay as good as that you buy directly from Semantic. It says they remove the scan bar for some reason. Also Google offers a free "Norton Security Scan" with their service pack. Is this good antivirus protection?

I am a Chinese and my computer is running on Windows XP Simplified Chinese version. The virus surely recognizes Chinese words for "anti-virus software" bacause every time I type in such words in Google, the whole page shuts down. And I can’t run the anti-virus software so that I can’t kill the virus. I suspect that it is an adware, because certain webpages just pop up suddenly from time to time. Can anyone tell me what I should do now?
