Viruses

Right I yet again need some help.

5 days ago I ran my antivirus, Kapersky anti-virus. It came up with 20,000 different virus bodies found on my pc. Yes, you did hear me right 20,000. so, I got rid of them, and today while I was at school I ran it again. This time it came up with 30,000 different virus bodies. What the fuck is going on??? I know none of you may know the exact problem, but any help that could point to why this is happening is much appreciated.

Been visiting shit sites eh? Obviously the virus is replicating itself throughout your computer and files, and kaspersky isn't successfully immunising/quarantining/deleting it.

Simple really, don't open any e-mails you don't know who are from and have attachments in them, don't visit any rubbishy virus infected sites, and don't accept .exe or .bin files from MSN contacts.

Try updating kaspersky, and running an adware scan. Kaspersky may be fucked also, so give it a reinstall

yep k cheers. I actually havnt been downloading much, and not going on mny shitty sites Image file not present in the recovered backup, but thanks anyway

ad-aware only removes spyware/malware/dataminer/auto-dialers.

for a good anti-virus prog that is free. Google "AVG", or if you want you could get "NORTON" I still like avg more, but its your decision.

Yes, I know..I suggested he ran an adware scan additionally, as adware can be just as threatening and compromising to your system as a virus.

Kaspersky is the best antivirus software by miles, from detecting to clearing its a great piece of software. Pc Cillin is the next best.

Alternatively a decent operating system such as Linux is even better, prevention is better than cure Image file not present in the recovered backup

great, with kapersky though from the time I installed it it has only ever actually disinfected a couple of files, should I do what u guys have suggested and reinstall the software as well? thanks.

I'd reccomend you do, as the Kaspersky dll files may have been modified by the virus. Where did you obtain your copy btw?

Its not recently that this hjas been going on, we BOUGHT our copy about a year ago :S

Well if you were to reformat then there is no chance in them coming back. I think you should do that.

Sometimes reformatting is the only option, but his system doesn't seem too messed up. Try a reinstall and make sure you have the latest updates

kk thanks again. and yer my system seems to be running fine, I have the feeling it might have been that stupid ultra hal assistant ai program thing that was on here about a week ago. grrrrr.

20000! lmfao!! WTF have you been doing, been surfing all that kiddie porn on gazaa's secret site?

btw I have kaspersky antivirus and firewall and it sucks major ass balls.

All firewalls and antivirus thingies suck major ass balls, I've never found one that works.

lol thats the thing, I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA!!!!! it might be that 'how to kill your gran' site I've been looking at lately...

Then you downloaded a bad copy, because Kaspersky is the best on the market.

So nice not having to worry about viruses anymore

damn linux users

rm /rf C:/Windows -destoy +y

actually my kaspersky is an original legal version that came free with my laptop package purchased at xmas lol. It failed on my ass the last time I had that bastard virus remember? That's why I fuckin hate it

havning the recent version of norton antivirus with the help of spywareblaster and updated protection with adaware and spybot, my computer has been great, no sign of any spyware or virus ever.

HOLY FUCK, there not going. I'm being serious now, this is the last straw, I'm ready to click the reboot button now. Shit. Right I installed that AVG thing, and reinstalled kapersky. I have done virus checks and found uploaded viruses in my shared files in the Kazza and Ares directories, both of which are P2P folders. Those viruses (about 10,00) are gone now, and will never come back. But there is still a fuck load on my computer, and they arent going.


My antivirus software has said they are in a folder called-

C:\Uploads\

WTF??!!!! I haven't made that file, which means someone has fucking hacked my pc and uploaded 25000 viruses into it!!!! And isnt the slashes the wrong way round?? I have went into explorer and checked the file out, but I can't even see anything in there. I have windows xp and it says the folder's attributes are that it is hidden. I have gone onto folder options and set it so I can view them, but its not letting me. I don't know how I can delete this folder, and stop this dick making any more. I have a firewall and everything. Please please help, for the love of god, I really dont want to reboot my pc....

Hang on hang on, I think that C:\ must be some sort of alternate folder were different system files are kept, rather than in the normal C:/. I have gone into C:\ and deleted this uploads folder, but I have no idea whether this has worked, or if the hacker or person who was uploading the viruses onto my computer will just do it again... I will run another check, but what should I do?
