Spyware

K, so I checked some dodgy porns ites, ok, nothing wrong with that?

BUT I GOT SOME DAMN SPYWARE THAT I DONT GET RID OFF!

So if somebody would be kind enough to post some tutorials again, I would be thankful.

Deatils: Whenever I open IE it opens some another dodgy pornsite. And it changed my desktop backround to nothing. It like flashes and I cant change any pictures to be there.

kthxbi

ps. dont ever check some twisted porn from russian men sites or sumtshit, I bet this is all fritos doing Image file not present in the recovered backup

tihihih vodeeeee !

no sorry I cant help you cause I now you allready scanned your comp with spybot and ad-aware

if you already did all that sounds to me like your slightly screwed.
my comp got infected with a tonne of spyware from some "dodgy sites" and I had to end up buying a new comp.

Downlaod this
http://spybot.safer-networking.de/en/index.html Its free and best one ive found (Ive tested shit loads)

Follow everything it tells you (Like restart when it tells you)

Hope it helps. if it dont check your startups (START>RUN?Type MSCONFIG)

Oh and then get google bar if your using IE.

gimme linkage to that spybot, I have used only f-secure and adaware now.

I remeber nuggeto psoting great tutorial or sumshit, but cant find it now. Comp is slow as fuck.

thansk d/l spybot now.
I allready got that google bar, didnt save me this time Image file not present in the recovered backup

Now when Im at it, somebody linakge me to those better "internet browsers"

fool ! ^ its up there...



ok im just slow... but vode's still a fooooo ! who missed out on some great filming this weekend ;D j/k

Buy a new comp? thats a bit extreme aint it? the worst measure you should have to take is to reformat the comp!
anyway try using microsoft antispyware, or perhaps trying to manually find the programmes on the hard drive.....
this is what you get for trusting Frito Image file not present in the recovered backup

yeah no reason to buy a new comp. I find spyware easy to remove. Only thing you gota watch for is spyware that adds extentions to your reg... This way they can uplaod spyware without you even knowing... and btw for anyone who uses it: Daemon Tools 4 is out but iyt has spyware in.... and this spyware does this. If you need one without it (Customer copy) I have it.

Somebody find me that nugetos tutorial to remove spyware!

And doyle, I tried to do that MSOCNFIG but it said it dont find it Image file not present in the recovered backup

And spybot, adaware and f-secure have now bee run, everything is removed, but its still going on Image file not present in the recovered backup

so hobout that registyr key ghey thingy?

You should have it, type "msconfig" (without the quotes) in run!

Hahaha, fuck. It says its not finding it Image file not present in the recovered backup

I got my desktop working, apparently there was too active desktop items there, I deleted them and my desktop works normally.

But IE still opens dodgy porn whenever I start it Image file not present in the recovered backup

eh...yeah mate why waste a stash of money on a new pc when you could just do a full scale format of your hdd or just buy a new hdd?

If you want rid of spyware use spyware sweeper, download a torrent of it. will remove all your shit and doesn't fuck up your registry.

you got a virus vode. run a scan. if you don't have software, download AVG.

Nah, didnt got a virus. Some reg thing about my start page or sumshit, that was found with spybot in safemode, removed it and IE started working normally. Also deleting those two active desktop items I had there go tmy desk workin gproperly, si I think I dont ahve any problems anymore, runned f-secure, adaware and spybot, nothing left.

MAybe I shall do that f-sec virus scan too, just to be sure.

Thanks everybody.

Now go watch some porn from dodgy sites

why hasn't this been pinned yet gaz.? http://homegrownforums.com/index.php?showt...7614&hl=spyware

wouldnt system restore sort it out?

yeah, I would ahve needed that..... but then I just randomöy experimented and whopaduuduu, got everything working.....


Exepct, I dotn seriously have that msconfig

Seriously, it doesnt find it, whats is it supposed to do?

Ok. if msconfig is not working and you have XP then its a virus... or you have a virus and some new spyware. MSCONFIG can be stopped from working same as CTRL+ALT+DEL can.

Best bet is to restart and go into Safemode (I believe pressing F8 or esc when booting will give you a option) and then run a spyware scanner and a FULL anti-virus scanner.

I know many people say Norton and things are good but trust me... Download the trial version of NOD32 www.nod32.com and scan using it.

if this still does not fix it see if you can do a system restore and find the closest date to when you got this spyware from this "Bad" site.

As I said, I run F-Secure antispyware and virus scan, adaware and spybot in windows safe mode, it found some bullshit, one them was soemthing about start page of IE, deleted all of them and nO id otn ahve any problems.

And that desktop rpobel I got the same time as others was fixed by deleting active desktop items that had appeared.

So I dont seem to ahve any spyware or viruses anymore. Or problems for that matter.

But when I type msconfig on run, it says it wont find it, so I searched it in normal search thingy, it found two applications in some WINDOWS folders and one html help file. So I seem to have it.... but I dont even know what it is? What is it suppsoed to do?

Ah ok. Sorry never read that post then man

Errm. Well not sure man... Do some search on google. And if you can get hold of a stand alone popup/active-x/install stopper program. I did have one so if you need one I can find a good one for ya.

EDIT: Found this for you
