What the fuck is it? I keep getting pop ups informing me my computer is infected with one. Any advice on how it can be removed would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

It's a virus that sneaks in on the back of another program.

Do the pop ups have a 'click here to remedy this' type of link?

If so, it's probably some sort of spyware/adware/malware. If you have some sort of spyware remover on your PC, run a scan to find out (If not, d/load 'SpyBot', it's free, and does the job)

Failing that, just do a full virus scan (assuming you have an anti-virus), and that should detect anything.

They sure do, my friend.

There's something kinky about this thread title.

Carry on...

Sorted Stewarty, thanks again.

Im a back door trojan, the men dont know but stewartymac understands.

SpyBot appears to have removed all the viruses but one. I now have an icon to the bottom right of my screen that alternates between a red shield with a cross (similar to the Windows security alert icon only broader) and a blue shield with a question mark. When I click this a blank internet explorer page comes up.

Occasionally, a bubble pops up from it saying my system has deleted a number of Spyware applications and I should download an up-to-date Spywear solution, even though I've downloaded SpyBot. Also, when I first turn on my computer, a window appears instructing me to by WinSpywear. Can anyone give me any further adivice as to what's causing this?

Cheers.

It looks like something that Spybot hasnt picked up. Download and run Ad-Aware and see if that kills it. If not, you might have to find a specific tool to clean this bit of spywear/malware/adware.

If it comes to that, there are plenty of people on here you can help you find what you need

I'm sure I watched a DVD by the same title, once.

Thanks. Gosh, you are a nice, friendly bunch on the e-chat forum.

Did Spybot notify you that it couldnt remove one or have you noticed it yourself?

Not the Hey take a deep breath let's experiment type of back door trojan? Giggity giggity

SpyBot didn't, but Ad-Aware said there was something that couldn't be removed until I restarted my computer. I've done that, but the both the icon and the pop up for WinSpywear are still there.

Right despite Kuato's admirable effort, this thread is still doesn't have the necessary amount of sexual innuendo in relation to it's title.

I hereby add this to the conversation..



Hey, everybody, let's look at my enormous cock..

By any chance was it Virtumonde?

I had a nastyt back door trojan and I removed it by clearing my Java Script cache.

Not bad. I bet it has a big pecker.

I don't have a clue. I'm not techie minded, hence why I'm posting for help here.

Whoa steady there, any more talk like that and this thread will be relegated to the Nightshift or just deleted if the Nightshift is removed!

Why? All I did was show a picture of a large cock. Nothing untoward in that is there?

In fact here is a nice muff..

I dunno .. what is the world coming too.

A member comes on here with a real problem and all he gets is you two fannying around with double entendres

You both should be asshamed of youselves

Shocking

Not as shocking as your spelling..


Now how about a nice pecker..

Have I just woooshed you?

<Snigger> You said "fannying"

Not unless youselves is meant to be a double entendre?

Yes, obviously

Damn typo *shakes fist

Great tits

My, that's a nice juicy pear.

AVG told me a back door trojan was trying to enter my PC last night when I accessed the Edinburgh fringe site. I soon put a stop to that.

Anyway, let's get back on track here:

I've always enjoyed her batter.

Is that Fanny Craddock in the picture?


Are your doughnuts like Fanny's, Kuato?
