I just got cursor mania, and i ran a virus scan, there were a TON of threats. How do I get it off my computer. Step by Step instructions please, dont just post a website. PLEASE HELP !!!!!!! I just got my computer this morning !

Answer 1

Go to MYCOMPUTER

Click UNINSTALL/CHANGE PROGRAM

Find CursorMania

I had that, too. It sucks that everything you try to use has so much spyware.

Answer 2

My answer has 3 parts in itself:

1. If you want to manually remove a VIRUS, then follow steps 2 and 3. If you want to manually remove an AV product (your question is quite ambiguous in listing "AV XP 2008" - are you talking about a specific AV product?) and all its remnants, then I suggest you download the FREE CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com) and use this tool to uninstall the s/w and clear the registry.

2. First, you need to identify the proper name and variant version of the threat. To do this you can use an array of FREE online virus scanners. Check out www.ghacks.net/2008/07/11/overview-of-on... for a list. Most of these will also get rid of the said threat.

3. If you want to find MANUAL removal instructions, take note of the malware name and do a search on various Virus Encyclopaedias out there (a few are www.trendmicro.com/Vinfo/, http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/ or http://www.symantec.com/business/securit... These encyclopaedias will give you all the required threat information as well as solution details and removal instructions.

In conclusion, if you still don't come right the best thing to do is run Trend Micro's FREE 'HijackThis' tool (www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/... and get the logs it generates to an expert to analyse them.

Happy Hunting!

Answer 6

"Threats" are not necessarily viruses. They are often completely necessary programs that slow your computer down.

Answer 7

Duck and Hide .. you betta runnn yooo, get AVG free edition virus protector man

Answer 8

First of all. Do you have virus protection? If you just got your pc then it probably came with crummy Mcaf or Norton. You need to make sure you have a better virus scan. Check out NOD 32 ESET. You can google it. You can also get Spybot and run it. It will remove it. You do not need to run your pc on the internet without virus protection. Good virus protection. Since Norton and Mcaf are so large and come preinstalled those are the ones the hackers work on. Cause most people just stick with it. Run spybot after you download it, remove the threats. Just because you have threats doesnt mean you have viruses. Calm down and clean the thing. It will be OK I promise.
