Cheers,
The ad-aware thing just finished and identified 39 malware programs, something along the lines of 'win32.trojan.....' Removed them all, so is that it now? Is there anything I can do to prevent it happening again?
Yes it will but not all of those will be infections i am sure.
Ok I'll wait for it to finish.
I have my wallpaper back but when i open internet explorer its still over riding my current homepage and takes me off to pages trying to flog me anti virus stuff to get rid of the stuff they have infected my computer with!!!
Used spy-bot and it identified loads of infected files. It gave me the choice to 'fix' them so i did but it didn't seem to have any effect as when I ran it again there was still infected files detected...
I am currently running ad-aware which has currently detected 499 infection. Once its finished will it give me the option to get rid of the infections?
Which search are you talking about? The panda one identified some infected files but did not give any option to fix it..... The AVG and defender both said that there was no infected files
Time to throw it in the bin and upgrade your computer and virus protection
Its a new laptop

I have the spybot one already, done it three time, it detected loads and i 'fixed' them. Ran it again and there was a new list of spyware detected
Whats a Trojan ?
Waited till nearly 2am but the searches were still going so i left them and went to bed. Got up this morning and the AVG and Defender searches were complete but both said that no threats were found
The panda one is still going and has detected 58 spyware files. To 'disinfect' these files it takes me to a page where i have to pay £8? Is that right? I'm wary about putting my cc details into anything at the moment...........
Can one shed any further light pleeeeeese.........
I don't want to be driven out of a house and a city that I love by this scum but what do you get if you stand and fight? Shot? Stabbed? Even if they don't attack you right away, a homeowner who kicks up a fuss makes themselves a target.
Its not worth confronting them mate. Mrs Sarnie is under strict instructions to never open our door no matter what is going on out there. If some one was trying to break into my car I'd shout out the window at them and call the police. I've heard too many horror stories from my Mrs about people getting stabbed to death for car keys.
Interestingly I spent £1100 on a reinforced front door that is near impossible to break into. I'm yet to buy anything security wise for my car. This is purely down to me wanting to protect me and mrs sarnie rather than the car itself. The car is just (an expensive) piece of metal and will never be more important to me than my family's safety
Wise words, mate.
Thats my one sensible contribution out of the way for the next 4 weeks
Yep, there is a big race scene not too far from me, and the local rozza's go up there in some shitty cars, goad people into a race and then put the blue lights on Entrapment anyone?
Yes your quite right.
Downloaded defender and am running a full scan. It has been running for 25 mins so far and scanned 8000 files. AVG scan is also still running for the last 1 hr 25 mins also
