I had a virus and it’s popping back up now and again
I also keep getting popups and ads randomly on pages and also loading up in new internet explorers (see link http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/4527/popupnv2.png )
Also, some of the popups are trying to get me to download spyware software (i already have some). I know full well of this being a scam as it is a trick by the hacker when he drops a virus in to drop stuff in to make you buy the stuff to get software which will "supposedly" remove the spyware.
Whilst typing this, it has reopened myspace i.m and 3 chatrooms without me telling it to do so.
Another key problem, possibly the worst of them, is a windows error i get. This image might help you all …. http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/1465/83263195gr1.png
For yuor information, my:
anti virus – Comodo
Anti spyware – AVG
Can someone PLEASE tell me what the hell this virus is! i’ve scanned and scanned and i keep getting attacked by stuff and its pissing me off.
For your information, in regard to the c++ one, it closes the explorer taskbar at the bottom and then reloads it a few seconds later
Also, internet explorer is slow
First of all, it can be nearly impossible to clean a system while it is still connected to the internet. If your anti-virus and anti-spyware is compromised, then you are just spinning your wheels.
The complete cleaning procedure is as follows:
Take the hard drive out of your computer and put it in an external drive (USB, FireWire) box. Take it to a friend who has a good clean computer, and go to antivirus.com. Use the Housecall free scan to clean up your drive. This may take a couple of hours.
When you get back home, boot in Safe Mode (F8). Turn off "System Restore" (Start->ControlPanel->System->SystemRestoreTab) on ALL drives. Completely remove all web browsing history, cache, etc. for every sigle user. Delete all temporary files. Reboot and choose "Safe Mode with Networking" (F8). Go to Housecall again, and runs scans until they finally come up clean (if it takes more than two, give up). Reboot in Normal Mode and update your AV and Spyware signatures. Rerun scans using your own stuff, they may catch stuff that has slipped through the cracks left in your system. Go to Microsoft Update and do a "Complete" update (no express) and install everything.
If this fails, you have two options: reformat and reload (if you dont care about losing stuff), or take it to a professional.
Try useing this, is suppose to get rid of the spider thing.
Malwarebytes

it looks bad, I really think the error message (second one) is fake. In other words I don’t think thats actually happening (could be wrong) I might try clearing your cache (sounds crazy I know but It may work) if its still happening in a week I would blow your hard drive and start again from scratch. Unless you want to have a computer guy look at it.
check your msconfig – START, RUN, type MSCONFIG and make sure only your firewall and antivirus/spyware is running in STARTUP, next go to your registry editor, START, RUN type REGEDIT, goto: H_L_M\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN
again check that only your firewall, av etc is running, anything else delete
please note, if you have not used REGEDIT before, I suggest you show this info to someone who has, and let them make the changes.
Another thing to do is enable POPUP blocking in your web browser, I recommend FIREFOX to INTERNET EXPLORER
