I was just infected with a serious virus that doesnt allow me to go to start-all programs on my username. It also wont allow me to ctrl-alt-delete. I have never had a virus like this so I would appreciate walkthrough help. I also get a fake, i assume windows security alert that says "somebody is trying to infect your PC with spyware or harmful viruses. Run full system scanand click here to download spyware remover. Also when i am typing the window will go idle.. not minimized or maximized just that I have to click on the window to type again. If it makes sense it is really annoying. Please somebody help I noticed someone with this problem and ironically the same thread was closed this very day. :pullhair: I would much appreciate the help if you could. Im all ears. :popcorn:

please note it is not that my computer is absolutely useless i just find i have to go through a program like winamp or itunes to get to the my computer section. I also encountered a blinking red cross that disappears and reappears at the taskbar but I am too afraid to dare and x it off and cause more chaos.

Hi

Please download HijackThis version 2.0.2 and save the file to your desktop.

Download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) to your Desktop. Note: You must be logged onto an account with administrator privileges.
  • Close all applications and windows.
  • Double-click on dss.exe to run it, and follow the prompts.
  • When the scan is complete, two text files will open - main.txt <- this one will be maximized and extra.txt<-this one will be minimized
  • Copy (Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the contents of main.txt and the extra.txt in your reply.
Thanks.
