I think there is some kind of adware in my system which is showing me some anti virus scan reports saying I have trojans and spywares in my PC. How to remove this virus??

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

I wanted to reset it back to factory settings because the harddrive was given to me by a friend so all of his programs and files were on the computer. There was so much of it, I thought it would be best to just restore the laptop back to factory setting. By the way, my harddrive is by HP but the laptop itself is an IBM. the harddrive does fit the laptop. I logged into the restore managed that HP provides and I selected the setting to restore to factory setting. It went through the entire process and once it got to 100% I got an error message saying the restore process could not be complete, please try again and then the laptop restarted itself. When the laptop restarted itself, before getting the to desktop, the same error message pops up again. The moment I click ok to get out of the message, my laptop restarts and the same thing happens over and over again. Eventually I figured out that by doing alt-ctrl-delete to get into the task manager, a file shows up "audit.exe" if I end the process for it, it takes me to my desktop and everything has been fully restored. The computer fully works, but anytime I restart the computer I have to go into the task manager to end that process and be able to pull up my desktop. I am pulling my hair out because I dont know what to do to make that error message go away. I did a virus scan and theres no virus. Also, I tried going into the restore manager again to try redoing the factory restore and it wont allow me to pick that setting anymore and I cant restore to a previous date, because no restore point was created.

The only thing I can think of, is continue using the laptop as it is OR go buy windows vista and install the operating system and use that as my factory restore.

Is there anything that can be done to make the error go away?
The laptop is running on Vista, I dont have an operating system disk unless I go buy one, and im unsure how to get into safe mode because the harddrive is HP, but the laptop itself is an ibm thinkpad. im not sure if the process to start safe mode is the same for both.

ok I just bought my laptop a few days ago. and then while I was in facebook, my browser(firefox) just redirected me to another site and then the site did like a virus scan on my laptop and it says that my laptop has a lot of viruses in it. I tried to cancel it but whenever i click "cancel" the site was recommending me to download something. I didn’t download it but I used my anti-virus (Avast!) to scan my hard drive but it didn’t find anything. So what do you guys think? Does my computer have a virus or it’s just nothing? It just started to do it yesterday and it happened again today. And it just redirected me to the website when I was in facebook(today and yesterday).

I got this virus on my computer. When ever I open the internet it blocks all the websites I go to because they want me to buy this anti virus software thing. So I can’t go on the internet to download a software that will delete it.

I have Mcafee Virus Scan, but I don’t know how to use it. Please help me.

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

Okay, I accidently downloaded a file and pop-ups for anti-virus systems started showing. I did a norton anti-virus scan and nothing showed up. I did many, many spyware scans on zonealarm and yes, it deleted many spywares, but it didn’t stop the pop-ups. I even bought the Guardian anti-spyware system and although it deleted about 16 spywares, the pop-ups still keep coming. I did about 7 more scans and it still didn’t ceased.
I need some advice on how to stop the evil threat!

If I’m in doubt, is restore the best option vs. virus scan/removal when it comes to immediate concerns that have just happend?

It seems like "restore" is too good to be true. Or is it?

I’m not sure, I’m hoping you all will know. I got a virus from my laptop, with the USB drive plugged in. Then, to test it out to see if the USB drive still worked, I plugged it into the school computer and it read: H:/ denied.

So I went back to ‘My Computer’, then right clicked the removable disk, and clicked ‘format’. It took less than 30 seconds to format it, and as I went back to check on the disk, nothing was there, as I opened it. No H:/ denied, no information was stored, it was as if it was completely new.

I’m not sure if it’s removed the virus completely, but it did destroy all my files that were saved onto there.

Can you guys help me make sure (the school security’s network has a high level of security as compared to my normal computer)? I don’t want to risk getting a virus on my new laptop if I use this flash drive. I’m too scared of plugging it in and running an anti-virus scan on it since it’s already plugged into the computer, it’ll infect it immediately before I open to read the files.

I’m not sure if it’s been deleted or if it’s safe to use. Should I just buy a new one? If so, any recommendations for a flash drive that is affordable, durable, long-life with use (can withstand a large amount of uses with saves). This one that I’m using is a PNY attache 4gb, I got it last two years ago for at Best Buy.
Are you extremely 100% positive that if I formatted it, which I hope I did… Right-click format, and then a window shows up and there’s a process completion bar and it takes 30 seconds to it’s completion, it was formatted? I hope it is, I don’t want to spend another on a flash drive. Thanks.

I recently ran virus scan and it detected 2 files infected with the Trojan virus called "New Malware". I deleted the 2 files, yet my computer continues to alert my that it is infected. Also, on my task manager it shows IEXPLORE.EXE running but Internet Explorer is not running, and eventually it will start playing music and advertisments until I "end" the process, but it comes back 5 minutes later. Any tips on how to remove this virus from my computer?
And without rebooting and reinstalling everything.

I own Mcafee anti virus software and I had it since September. I downloaded items but Mcafee never detects a virus so I thought it was strange since every download I ever made was safe. Another reason is that their site adviser says certain website is green when it should be red. It also do that with downloads too. And recently my computer is randomly freezing up, shutting down,and a while ago it was slow, so I took a virus scan but it said there wasn’t any harm.So is this software right?
