Rikard Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 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 http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ 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, Rikard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F2-Fan Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F2-Fan Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 You can't the only way to stop a virus from living in your system restore is by having system restore switched off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F2-Fan Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
