I don't know what is wrong with my computer! It just started making these bleeping noises when I click on anything. Such as Start>Programs as soon as the list of my programs comes up it starts bleeping/pinging sound. It's annoying as all get out. I can't take this no more. Help me I am desperate here!
Also when I go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>device manager , I click on show hidden devices in there and there is a yellow exclamation mark by Oreans32. Also to make matters worse, whatever is wrong with this dang computer it interferes with me going on IE, Mozilla, doing searches, and with typing in forums like this. If you look at my T_opic T_itle and right here you can see how. ex. If I click on a search pane then try to type in what I am looking for a bunch of lines start scrolling across it, nonstop.
Also (like you really need another also), when computer boots up I don't see the BIOS anymore. It just goes from the black Windows screen with the bar on it to the Welcome screen now.

Plz tell me you can help me, I work from home & need this computer badly!

Thank you in advance.

Hi helpmeplz05,

You have a very seriously infected and compromised computer. Your computer is infected by several variants of the Sdbot trojan, which has Backdoor functionality. This can give intruders complete control of your computer, logging key strokes, stealing information, etc…

You are strongly advised to do the following immediately!:
  • Disconnect infected computer from the internet and from any networked computers until the computer can be cleaned.
  • Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.
  • From a clean computer, change *all* of your online passwords – for ISP login, email, banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, and any online forums or groups you belong to.
    Do NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new passwords and transaction information.
Because of its backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure it can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. However, if you do not have the resources to reinstall your OS and would like me to attempt to clean your machine, I will be happy to do so.

To help you make a more informed decision, please read the following articles:
  • Danger: Remote Access Trojans.
  • When should I re-format? How should I reinstall?
  • How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and Credit Card Fraud?
Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask

Please let me know your decision and we'll get started with clean up if that's what you choose.
