This is not on my computer, I am trying to help a friend over the phone. This is in her add/remove programs and I’m afraid that if we just remove it, the full amount of the malware/spyware/virus won’t be removed.

Im really getting upset. My boyfriend is an idiot and got adware spyware and viruses on my computers from bad websites. I do not have the money to go buy spyware doctor or anything like that. Everytime a program says its free, it does the virus scan for free but to remove the infections it actually found it says I need to upgrade and buy the package. Any free programs or even trials that will actually remove some of the bad stuff? Thanks

Hey, i believe i have a virus or spyware in my computer. When i browse the web with Firefox, chrome or opera i type in a website and occasionally it leads to me to a totally different site unrelated to what i wanted. This occurs with all three web browsers. I have a virus program and it claims my computer is cleaned. Any help to remove this virus? Thx in advance.

As a young adolescent we all know we kind of do things and go on stuff we really shouldn’t go on. But we do anyways, to fulfill our "needs" if you know what I mean.
Anyways, thank God I use my very own computer and it is not shared, because tonight I got soooo much spyware and a bunch of other crap (viruses, malicious stuff) from sites that I do not want my parents to find. How can I remove this stuff (free of charge) completely so that it is not found? And also get rid of whatever is in my browser like Trojans and all that.

I use AVG Free and Ad Aware 2007 right now and AdAware removed like 133 traces, AVG just found one (scanning now.)

Thanks guys!

(I know I shouldn’t be on porn but it is very common among like every guy I know in my age range.)
Oh and how can I prevent spyware etc. from entering my system?
AVG ALWAYS tells me if there is a threat detected and it will remove it under my command.

Because I don’t want to waste my money every year just to buy Norton or Spyware stuffs. I’m looking for a free and can use forever without warrant amd I don’t want a trial version.

If you help me, I would really appreciate it! ^ ^

I’m at a loss here, and I’m looking for some help to buy some time so I can use my laptop this afternoon..

Dell Vostro 1000 w/ Windows XP Home, 2GB Ram, SP2 was 23% free space, now ~ 65% free.

A couple of days ago my laptop started acting quirky — when trying to right-click files to copy, the folder / file would freeze, and then I would have to kill the process or kill explorer.exe to unlock it.

Yesterday, I tried booting up and the system would freeze solid, except my mouse, and if I clicked on things a few times, a loud system beep — all within about a minute of booting up. I played with things for about 7 hours yesterday, finally was able to do a system restore, then deleted all the apps I installed within the last week, ran several virus / spyware scans, cleaned up my registry, etc.

I also ran chkdsk and there weren’t any errors.

Now, I am a bit more stable, but it intermittently freezes up still. Additionally, when I open Firefox, it eats up about 1GB of memory within 10 seconds. I can get firefox to operate normally by completely removing it, then re-installing it, but after starting it a couple of times, it does it again.

I don’t think this is a Firefox problem, though, and I don’t think it’s a virus or bug, at least that I can see through log files, running processes, or through several different spyware / virus detection tools.

If anybody has a clue what might be causing this, and maybe a temporary fix to make the system more stable for a day or so, that help would be appreciated. I won’t suffer much / any data loss as I’m backing things up real-time as I use them now, but it’ll take me over a day to setup my PC, and I have to get work done today.

One more note: I am an exceptionally heavy computer user — sometimes the laptop is online for days at a time, and I actively use it 10+ hours most days. I usually have to format & reinstall the OS 2x a year (I treat my PC kind of like an aggressive pizza delivery-driver treats his/her vehicle), so it’s probably just due to use and abuse, but I’ve never run into these symptoms before, and maybe there’s a likely problem that I can fix temporarily until I have the time to wipe the drive clean and start over.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Like when a spam email has a link and you click the link and it takes you to some pharmacy website. Is that more so just junk trying to get you to buy crap? Or is the link going to put spyware and virus on your computer? I use limited user account so I can’t download/run anything without first using my admin password.
so how does the trojan part work in spam? Wouldn’yt you have to download something?
interestingly that the 2nd and 3rd respondents here are trying to seel antispyware product rather than answer my question

Someone turned off my firewall. It acts as if I have a virus because it links me to windows virus scan or spyware sites

My desktop computer is infected with spyware. It has this Total Security 2009 installed on it and i never put it on there. I have Norton 360 on the computer & I can’t open it because it’s infected. There isn’t much that I can open because everything is basically infected. I can open my internet explorer but that’s basically it. I can’t even start up in safe mode. My parents bought a new virus and spyware protection for the computer but it’s not installing. Anyone know of anything I can do?

When I used a program to read how much of my 495 mb sdram is currently being used by the programs i have running in the background of my windows xp.
It showed that about 80% of my ram is currently being occupied by programs running in the background. Is this too much?

My computer is "stucky, not smooth" lately. I’ve checked with spybot and ad-aware there’s no spyware on my laptop. Also ran anti-virus and there’s no virus. I’ve cleaned my harddrive and registry with CCleaner and Ashampoo win optimizer. Lately, happened couple of days, i couldn’t even use my web browers[IE & firefox] to visit any websites! though i know i am connected online with my isp.

Could the 80% ram usage be the source of the problem? Also harddisk is 56Gb in total and now only about 6 gb freespace left. I’m running on Intel M processor 1.6 GHz. win XP sp3. Had the laptop for 6 years.
[side note: system went 'dead froze' several times [about 20? ] over the course of my 6 years usage. whenever that happens i just had to unplugged the power chord to turn off system abruptly without going thru proper ‘ turn off ‘ button in windows. Also had a few very hot summers so laptop couldn’t stand the heat so it auto ‘turned off’ by itself. though now bought the laptop fan cooler. Not sure if these conditions will damage the physical hardware of the system, but i hope it doesn’t…..]

What are your suggestions?
Only answer if you know the answer.
Thankyou very much.

I have a Macbook Pro. Everyone insists that spyware and virusware aren’t necessary. I have had nothing but problems since I bought the computer, (2 years ago). I have a hard drive with tons of duplicated pics that has been impossible to organize. I recently hooked it up to a friends PC who had outdated virusware. The virusware said the hard drive contained a trojan horse, or some virus. Anyway, it was unable to remove it. What’s the best virusware/spware for compatible with Macs? Something free would be great, but at this rate… I really need to get this stuff prioritized. Please Help.

I have never ever EVER clicked on anything related to Spyware, and one day Spyware Guard 2009 just so happened to show up on my computer and JUST WON’T GO AWAY.

I tried deleting it, removing it from my computer, emptying out my trash bin, restarting my computer, and all that good stuff.

And still, it remains. Literally every 10 seconds SOMETHING from Spyware will pop up and won’t go away unless I click it, only to return again. It’s a constant annoyance and it freezes up my computer all the time, causing me to have to restart.

Today, MS AntiSpyware 2009 popped up trying to "help me" block Spyware, scanning all my files, and is basically doing the same exact thing to me. It’s CONSTANTLY popping up, and I have to give permission every time I try to go to a different page on the internet. It’s not helping me. If I try to give in to the AntiSpyware, it just tells me to buy it. :/ Uh, I think not.

I previously had McFee. It worked without complaints, but ever since Spyware came along, McFee is nowhere to be found. I think the Spyware got rid of it.

I’m more than positive that this is a virus. Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to solve this and finally rid myself once and for all of Spyware and it’s "AntiSpyware"?!

So far I have scanned with Adaware, Spybot search and destroy and Mcafee virus scan.

Mcafee keeps popping up this message saying it found a file "byxywwu.dll" a trojan Vunda and it can not be cleaned.

Well, I can not figure out a way of deleting this file.

These popups keep coming up saying I have "spyware or virus" and trying to direct me to a site to by their crap to remove it. I know that is a scam

Please someone help me, how in the **** can I get this off my computer.

I’m just amazed that Mcafee can not remove it.
