Kohum Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 CCleaner [which cleans up temp directories] should fix this easily. Try Malware Bytes - see if it fixes !
graphic23 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 only if you act like you and install windows on it:haha::haha::haha: *sigh* Fineleg, I dare you. Come up with a virus that can hack into the BSD kernel upon which OS X is built.

zubinpepsi Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 Thanks guys.. I ran malwarebytes n then CCleaner.. its ok now.. atleats it seems to be.. lets hope so.. Thanks again for the help.. :icflove:
EnterTheVoid Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Try a system restore. Every time your computer does a virus scan, the computer automatically does a system restore. So, if you got the virus yesterday and ran a virus scan, say two days ago, then you can take your computer to the condition it was before the virus If you're using Windows Vista, head to Start -> All Programs -> Maintenance -> System Restore and Help Centre
Kohum Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 You might want to use this BufferZone Pro software Buffer Zone
Mullah_Nayak Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Use firefox + AVG + Lavasoft Adaware + Comodo Firewall Your ass should be safe from any infections.

EnterTheVoid Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Do a system restore. Your computer will be returned to the same state it was before you got the virus. It will take like 15 mins Than run your anti - virus, anti - spy ware programs programs.

Dark Warrior Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 @^^ if those files r from "D:\temp\...." folder, then delete them........... bindass
EnterTheVoid Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 @ Zubin, If your anti virus software program detected the infections and quarantined them, than I wouldn't worry about deleting them Leave the files (now quarantined) and do the system restore. Thats what I did when my computer was playing up and it works like a treat. The speed is good, computer is responsive and no major files were corrupted
zubinpepsi Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 they r in the windows folder.. .. im at work now.. i ll post the name of those files n their location later this evening..

(btw its just first thought tht thr may b some spyware, there should b some other problem too, but as u said ur AVG AV is not detecting anything, so first lets scan for spyware nd adware then we'll see.....)

Auto Runs 2. Process explorer OR download full system tools set from Here These tools are good tools to look up boot process etc. Once autoruns is downloaded, unzip the files and run the exe. It will show a list of programs that is supposed to get started whenever PC boots up. Go through that and remove anything that is unnecessary. [uncheck] But please make sure that you know what you are doing or have someway to backup registry so you can do system restore if need be. Process explorer above is a nice tool to replace existing task mgr. It shows the processes and its child processes spawned off etc. Very handy to identify if there are any unwanted processes running. [The unwanted list will come from experience, keep watching from time to time]. HTH. :two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up:
