| 730801 | 2008-12-18 22:10:00 | Hi peeps, Got a friends pc today and its loaded with spyware and malware, such as AV 2008 n Spyguard 2008, I have managed to clean a few of them through Smitfraudfix but I am still not able to run spybot or malwarebytes anti-malware. I have installed spybot but when I click on the icon, the hour glass just spins and nothing happens. As also with malwarebytes, I can not install it, the hour glass just spins and nothing happens. Also I have installed NOD32 anitvirus but it does not update, keeps giving me connection error message, so does Avast and AVG, none of them can update. I can surf the net with no problem. I just tried hijackthis but can not install that either and none of the spyware programs works under safe mode also.. any ideas? PC is running XP Pro with SP3. Thanks |

Then select all options under utilities Hi Speedy, already used ccleaner and have removed the temp files, at the moment only got NOD32 running, tired the other two one after another just to see if it was the update site that was causing the problem but apparently not, will give trojan remover a try... thanks |

| 730804 | 2008-12-18 22:23:00 | Take the drive out and put it into a machine that has up-to-date NOD32 and run a scan on it. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 730805 | 2008-12-18 22:41:00 | Thanks guys, Trogan Remover did the trick, NOD32 is updating now, will do a full scan once everything is all properly installed and updated. :clap | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 730806 | 2008-12-18 22:46:00 | Cool :banana Whatever that computer had, it probably added something to the hosts file as well. If you selected all options under utilities in TR, it would have wiped them |
