868719 2010-03-20 11:40:00 I recently installed a program called rapidown, that can download multiple files from rapidshare at once. When I scanned it (twice!) it didn't show up as a virus, but now, it is taking over my whole computer! Everytime I try to download something with IE, it says to allow rapidown.exe, and if I allow it or not, that IE tab crashes and restarts. It reduces my whole Internet speed-I am downloading WOW, and it downloads at 12.7 KB, and I have 2.0 Mbps internet speed, which means it should be at least 250 KB!!!! I can't access the internet so fast, the program starts when I boot the computer-even before the antivirus- and I have many more problems which I can't think of right now!! I tried uninstalling, but the uninstaller doesn't do anything-neither does the Remove Programs from control panel! I tried deleting, but two files-rapi310.dll and rapidown.exe-can't get deleted!! Please help me uninstall this program, and I will be forever greatful!!! zin_onos (15684)

Get trojan remover below as well. Update it then click on scan. Then select all options under the utilities menu Speedy Gonzales (78)

Hijackthis has on the Misc Tools section a Remove File on Reboot option. Select each one and let it reboot and delete them. (One at a time).

Post the HJT scan log for speedy to look at.

What antivirus do you use?
And what (additional) antispyware programs have you got?
