Question:

Help me fix this Virus?

by | earlier

Hey,

I got a virus from downloading this program and the virus made my "log off" button (in start menu), and my "C drive" in my computer disappear. It also did a lot of other things such as saying how it can offer free virus protection but I've fixed all that. Also it say's "VIRUS ALERT" on the taskbar on the right of the clock.

any help will be greatly appreciated..

cheers, Steve.

try going to www.pchell.com, I spent a day trying to clean up viruses out of my daughters computer, and what mcaffee and norton couldn't get rid of, I found ways at that website to finish it all off. it's reallllly a great website, I'm confident you will find something there to help you, there are fixes to tons of viruses and trojans

whomever created that website deserves some sort of humanitarian award or something

I had a similar experience last week and found that running "Ad-Aware" removed the virus. I have McAfee anti-virus suite but that could not remove it....that is when I tried the Ad-Aware (honestly, not thinking it would work) and it removed all of the virus and the icons near the clock (bottom right). Good luck!

What i will do is. Format your harddisc and install windows newly because these virussen stay in your pc when you install everything new it better.

Good luck
