I did a microsoft Live Care Scan and it told me I have a NuWar.gen worm. I bought the XoftSpy software but I don't think it got rid of it. Is there someone that can help me get rid of this? Thank you! I am new to all this ad ware stuff and I need help from the beginning if someone will be willing to help me. Thanks again.
firstly; since apparently removing this critter, have you turned system restore off, rebooted and turned system restore ON again and created a fresh restore point
also; for peace of mind , my other suggestion is to post a log in the HJT section to get an expert in logs to just give you the once over to confirm your health
also if this is the little critter you have had on board you might well need to get the comp checked over by a log expert;
and what av program is on board?
p3 edit; if that were MY comp I would DEFINITLY get a log checked out for peace of mind
and do you know FROM where you acquired the burrowing worm?
Yeah, I got rid of it with the help of Blade on here. He walked me through it all step by step. We did the system restore thing. He also had me download AVG Spyware and Cleaners and everything. Actually it is working probably better then ever before…LOL. Thank you very much for helping!!!!
I got the impression from this thread that you had received no help; presumably there is an HJT log or other thread somehere then relating to this that is not linked to this thread for reference?
but good to know you are OK
