|
|
Currently I have a serious virus infection that isn't being detected by Spyware Doctor. It was detected by Spysweep with its behavioral protections meaning that it didn't have the definition of that virus in its base.
It's currently ravaging my computer. I attempted to register Spysweep, but it's been over an hour and a half now and it still won't upgrade my status on their program so I still can't remove the virus. My computer's going to be completely dead soon. Spyware Doctor still can't find the virus after another recent update from an hour ago. I've had this virus for 3 days.
Can anyone please help! I have no idea what it's called or anything. Spysweep only said it was a Behavioral Malware ranked at the highest security risk.
My computer's been constantly freezing and just started crashing.
It's from the MSN this pic looks a lot like you virus that just started going around.
I haven't found any way online to remove it because I seem to have a different version than anyone else. I don't send messages etc, instead, it's completely destroying my computer.
I need help within the next 30 minutes to an hour before my computer is completely gone. Someone said they had to format their entire hard drive. If spyware doctor can't even protect against this virus, I'm probably going to get rid of it. |

I've been through Spyware, Malware, and Virus Hell. Nestharus, I feel for you.
When visiting a video sharing website (www.vox.com), on December 2, 2008, I was infected with dangerous spyware, identified as spyware.ispynow.
It disabled my Webroot Spy Sweeper software program completely. I was unable to open it to remove the spyware. I was also unable to re-install the program again. Spy Sweeper was a great program until a dangerous enemy destroyed it. I had been using it since June 12, 2006.
My computer ended up at Best Buy's Geek Squad for computer repair, for a total of 8 days and costing me over $200.
When I took it in they had the same problem as me. Spy Sweeper would not re-install so they removed it.
I am now using Trend Micro Anti-Virus with added Spyware protection option.
Then something unusual happened on December 28, 2008. My desktop icons would not show up after bootup. I could do nothing with my computer.
I took it to a nearby computer store (We Compute), and had it back THE SAME DAY!
The technician found and removed 7 malware programs that had attached itself to 1,191 of my files. The most used malware/spyware discovered was one titled Video Egg. This is also the name of a video sharing website that I had used.
I’m planning on ordering some White Canyon products, perhaps the bundle that contains 7 programs in one.
Is it possible to modify the $189.70 bundle special and have one or more titles traded for others?
