Technical Difficulties

[TopSecretBoy]

Ok, need your guy's help. Somehow, a shitload of spyware got on my computer in a very short time. (I hadn't downloaded anything risky) My computer is FLOODED with this shit. I can't nuke my hard drive, and I've tried spybot, adaware, and norton. Didn't fix it. The real problem is when I search for something in good, it doesn't give me results. I get a pop up, and then where you would normally get the stuff you searched for, I get links to other search engines 100% of the time. This shit is fucking me!

Stop visiting all those pr0n sites.

Seriously though, if none of those programs aren't working, you need to back up your files, then wipe your hard drive.

[TopSecretBoy]

Trust me man, I would have given the same advice, but unfortunately, I don't download pr0n on this computer. That's for the shitty one with 300 codecs. :D

[TopSecretBoy]

I've actually managed to get all the shit off of my computer, except for google is still fucked. =/

LOL! the EXACT same shit happen to me man! It was last week actually, on gamspot the fucking thumbnails of pics had popups in them, thats how fucked up my shit was. Turns out I also had a fucking trojan, be sure to scan your PC multiple times, tons of backdoor shit got in mine Norton didnt do shit, so I got Mcafee(tons better). It was pretty bad, google and yahoo did the same shit you are talking about and it was extremely fucked, so I managed to get into safe mode and get the files that I really needed and then I nuked my hard drive. Couldnt think of anything else I could do, everytime I went into windows it froze within 15 secs. That shit really pissed me off, Im over it now though. So, I know what you went through.

Oh, and by the way what did you use to get all the shit off?

I use AdAware and SB:S&D every couple of weeks to clean the crap out.

Get Kim. He'll help you.

same problem here. google's first three returns for anything i search for is these search toolbars like search2020. its really annoying. none of the spyware apps helps either.

[Yian]

usually the search adwares are IE plug-ins, and most of them offer unistallation files on their website. But Ad-Aware should be able to get most of them.

Try to get the newest version of Ad-Aware and update the reference list. They update the reference list every once a while to capture the new adwares and spybots. Maybe your reference list is too old, thus letting many malwares to escape.

[TopSecretBoy]

Ok, I fixed it. Deviation, search for a program called "CWShredder.exe" it will kill it. It's a trojan.

[JerraMaya]

thats Trojan didnt Bothered me my PC-cillin 2004 caught it :D thanks to the free updates (but Piracted Version)
Do install this anti Virus guys its very good and doesnt fuck up with ur system when its realtime scaning is ON in windows ALWAYS

[TopSecretBoy]

If I had had NOD32 20 minutes before, I would have caught it. :mad:

[absolute_deviation]
