alright its just one of them, and I have 4 total 3 more that are protected.

one has a high risk virus red bio screen and all that.

I've turned it off, and took at that little wireless internet thingy out of it.

All information on that computer regarding my name and stuff are false.

I never logged into one of my e-mail accounts or on my pay pal or any thing else for that matter <.<

also while I'm on this subject is my internet connection safe to use? all the other computers are protected by verizon.

  1. No, they are not safe if they are normally have trusted access to each other by file sharing or straight through any firewall they have and there is any physical or wireless connection between them and the infected computer.  This is assuming the infected computer is switched on.

    The 4 computers form a network and this virus may be a worm, in which case it&#039;s looking for somewhere else to go - worms look for network gaps to get through.  Physical and wireless network separation should be done until the computer is clean.  If the infected one needs putting on the internet for cleaning, the others should be removed before the other one is added.

    If you know how to do it, make sure the non-infected computers are told that the infected one is NOT allowed access to them under ANY circumstances but even that isn&#039;t foolproof if they are all allowed access to the network/internet at the same time.

    Yes, your internet connection is safe to use with the 3 computers only.  Get all your security software up to date on them just in case that virus already got at one of them before you shut off the infected computer.


  2. You have a Zlob infection. Use this tool to get rid of it.

  3. You are infected probably with the Antivirus 2008 or 2009.  It&#039;s a tough one to get rid of but there are removal tools out there.

  4. The bio hazard screen may be a fake program. You should run a full system scan with your security program. Always ensure you have an updated Internet security suite. You should have:

    Anti-spyware

    Anti-virus

    Firewall

    Anti-spam

    Privacy control

    Real-time protection

    With wireless connections, ensure you have a router firewall and/or leech protection.
