Virus Help!!!!!!

Ok, i have a virus. i need to know if these notifacations are reeal thru windows or are made up by the virus... pics attatched.

Pic 1: this came up in IE: i need to know if it is fake or real.

Pic 2: ((notice baloon in right corner)) a Notifacation that is constantly popping up... should i download the soft ware it want me to by clicking the balloon?

Pic 3: another notifacation.

BTW: Windows defender found somethinng in auto protect-- i removed and restarted. I am doing a full system scan now.

 

lol, the software is usually paid versions, since it's spyware, try running spybot, also download and install spywareblaster.

 

i got spywareblaster- it found nothing


-Spybot is currently scanning.

SpywareBlaster is preventative. It's not a scanner. I personally, don't like spybot anymore. I think these are better programs: Super Anti-Spyware, A squared, and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware. While I don't think it's a virus, it wouldn't be a bad idea to run a couple anti-virus scans as general maintenance.

 

oh. ill try Super Anti-Spyware

Well, im stupid enough to not have anti-virus software installed right now, but Defender is scanning.

 

Definitely install Avast with it's active protection and Avira without it's Avira Guard. You should have virus protection, spyware protection, and a firewall. If not, more of this will happen or worse. I'm betting you have tons of crude on your computer.

 

Mheh, never click on link that "provide help" . That`s what the trojan does, downloads viruses.
Try the above AntiSpywares, you should be able to get rid of them quickly.
Also use CCleaner to get rid of the IE cache and history.

 

i figred that about "provide help". i did. spybot found a bunch of crap and took it out. a windows firewall notifacation appeared and found a trojan. i told it to remove.

 

And not to be intrusive, but usually these kind of crapware come from visiting ware sites , cracks and porn ones.
If by any chance you`ve been visiting either of these types,stop

 

I will. Thanks for the help.

As a weird analogue for running a laptop without security, I came up with this:

Running without security is like walking around with a "kick me" sign. Most people, like most websites, are nice enough not to actually kick you. Some may even point out you have a sign on you, similar to online scans and protection in general. However, some people, like dangerous websites, will kick because they see the sign and some just because they're mean.

 

Well, I can explain that.

I was researching "Jailbreak" for the iphone and i guess got on this site... it said to download this file and then sync it on my iphone. That this is more reliable than that site to directly do it ("appsnap" or something) So, i did it. Duh, im not putting it on my iphone now.

And no, i have found an actual trused site ( no virus/pop-up/spy-adware) for porn aside from this.


THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE HELP. +REP FOR EVERYBODY.

 

Lol, to rep somebody you have to click the white/gray scale thing under everyone`s name

 

It would be more secure to scan the hard drive from a CD. You never know if the virus might corrupt the virus scanner, especially if it's installed after the computer is infected.

 

You think so because a banner on the website tells you so?
Not running an antivirus program when visiting pr0n & cracks sites, is the recipe for having a compromised computer/notebook.
You ought to make pretty damn sure you don't have nasties lingering around on your HD.
Given your surfing behaviour I wouldn't trust cleaning too much.
A better approach would be to nuke your HD with DBAN or KillDisk and reinstall your OS.
After that make sure to install at least a decent firewall, a reputable AV-program and a decent AS program.
Cheers and good luck.

Edit, I read that Windows Firewall warned you about a trojan and you 'told' it to remove it.
Firewalls are meant to keep stuff out, not to remove things like trojans.

 

Try Ad-Aware. With Ad-Watch.

 

it's better if you scan Safe Mode
