The Virus is back.

OK I am severly pissed right now. What the hell is going on?

I havent opened anything thats un-normal, I havent gone anywhere today that I shouldnt have, the only thing I can think of is that Lube survey that some of us signed up for. Thats the only thing.

I am SEVERLY PISSED right now. What the hell do I do? UGGHHHHH

Arrghhh... That sucks to hear. Hope you get it fixed soon, I know how bad getting a virus can be.

When DH got that virus I had to do a complete reformat. Have you tried that?

I dont know how to do that, do you mean dump windows and re-install?
Or do you mean "go back" to a previous point on the comp?

Also, for right now, how do I start in safe mode? F8 isnt it?

[ahippiechic]

Sorry it's back.

What kind of firewall are you running? You don't really have to go anywhere to get a virus if you have open ports.

[freeby4me]

I dont even know.

I think I have a firewall turned on, but I dont remember where to look. Gawd, I feel so exposed.
I just want to cry.

I keep trying to open into safemode and when I finally got there, the comp was frozen, I had to turn it off by the button which is not good. Ugh, I feel so beat down lol

Does anyone know if they can access my stuff on my computer right now, my robo-form, things like that?

[freeby4me]

OK I have that windows firewall, it says its on.

I found the system restore thingy, should I restore to an earlier date? Will that make this thing go away?

[ahippiechic]

If you have open ports, then yes, they can access your info. If you have bank, CC info, password lists, pins etc on your PC, back them up and delete them until you're sure the trojan is gone.

You can try restoring to an earlier date, it might work.

Windows firewall is crap. I PM'ed you.

[ahippiechic]

If that doesn't work, you can try this....

You D/L the software and run it. It compiles a report about what is running on your PC. Then you post the report in the help forums there, and someone will go thru it with you, with step-by=step instructions for removing it.

Thank you Hippie, I'll look everything over when I get back, I gotta go walk up and get DS, so i'll be back around 4ish.

Thanx again for the help!

[freeby4me]

OK quick question, if I restore back to an earlier date, will the things I deleted earlier be back on? For example, yesterday I deleted everyone off my yahoo e-mail address book, will they all be back now? If I do a restore.

[freeby4me]

I tried doing a system restore twice and both times it wont go through, the last time I tried February 10th, the first time january 15th.

Can I scream now? and later??

[suprtruckr]

the intellitext? or what ever it was called is back i got to sneak to the library the other day at the hospital and was looking at the taskbar while the page loaded and i saw intellitext loading, they use firefox there

[Unicornmom77]

Oh hun! I am so sorry! I feel your pain, I am getting ready to try a system restor myself!

I hope you are able to fix it!

[freeby4me]

Its all fixed now. Thanx for the good thoughts though!!

I feel you girl. My husband's computer picked up something and took out his Norton and IE. I have to work on it this weekend to see if I can get rid of it without reformatting his computer I figure that I will probably have to end up reformatting it though.
