I had that on my pc m8t its basically a virus which try to take over your internet connection and/or security programmes/antivirus programme, i tried to remove with my antivirus and a registry fix download which internet explorer recomended but i had to wipe my pc n start all over m8t hope u have more luck than i did.

do you mean winfixer, as that is a virus in its self, ive got rid of the tool bar, and now have got rid of the animation pop ups, so i think it may be ok?

Best thing to do mate is update your anti virus software and do a compleate system scan,

 

than after that do a compleate system spyware scan, i use adware, if you don't have it you can get it here

Its best to scan for spyware at least once a week, maby more if you have problems,

 

Hope your PC can recover, but if it is going down make sure you can save as much work of it as you can

 

Hope this helps,

If you have anti virus running that doesn't seem to work I would say you have a virus.

 

Try AVG see if that does the job.

It will pay to make sure it is gone because blackworm drops it's main payload on the 3rd of every month when it deletes various types of files.

payload? i'm pretty sure its gone, as ive done a system restore

Posted

It could and would probably be living in your system restore files, so restoring might not clear it fully

 

 

how do i clear the restore files

Posted

You can't the only way to stop a virus from living in your system restore is by having system restore switched off.

 

 

so i just switch of system restore now, when the virus is in there?

Posted

You need to make sure you have got rid of the virus first then switch off system restore, that way it can't hide in there should it ever come back.
