| 628256 | 2008-01-07 12:40:00 | ok... i have multiple infections on my computer.. i wouldn't have a control panel or be able to get online except that i'm not completely computer illiterate but..this one is pretty bad... not sure where to start... multiple infections... i had avg on the computer but uninstalled it (sorry attempted to uninstall it) to run nod32... also installed spybot s&d and ran kapersky online scan and saved the txt file... i haven't used hijackthis but.. i'll do what it takes to get rid of this.. i wasn't able to get to control panel.. i honestly am not sure what i did to gain access to it lol.. i am unable to uninstall any programs and it seems to be uninstalling certain programs at will as well... (my nod32 disappeared from the add/remove list) i went into safe mode a few times and ran nod32 (after a reinstall) and spybot... kapersky still finds 10 viruses...i also had virtumonde in the past and it comes back...wowfx.dll...i went into safe mode and created a folder by the same name to block it..not sure what else to do..(it recreates itself) i had to reinstall nod after running it once because it decided i had no kernel to speak of..so.. it's been fun, to say the least... i am online...i know how to check network adaptors..but.. i'm at an intermediate level so.. i need help with this burst of infection..please help! |

| 628257 | 2008-01-07 17:17:00 | I realise it doesn't help you with your immediate problem, but probably the best solution is to drop Microsoft Windows and move to Linux which doesn't get viruses (better immune system). Regards, Dave (using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Linux) |

| 628258 | 2008-01-07 17:46:00 | A quick google seems to point at running HJT Download and run HJT post the log file back here. Speedy is the resident HJT log file expert. Hopefully he'll see this post. |

| 628260 | 2008-01-07 19:09:00 | I would post a HJT log. And get trojan remover (www.simplysup1.com) Install this, update it then click on scan. Then select all options under utilities menu. I would also have a read of this thread (pressf1.co.nz) Where the person also had wowfx.dll. |

Regards, Dave (using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon Linux) Yes you suggestion is very unhelpful. Linux has about half a percent of the market and one would need to be fairly computer literate to set it up and use it. And this person with the problem is obviously not very computer literate so he would not be able to set up and use Linux. Not only that but have you asked him what his computing needs are ? Does Linux have the apps for what he wants ? Regards Digby |

Does Linux have the apps for what he wants ? totally relevant ! |

| 628264 | 2008-01-08 01:13:00 | The best thing to do would be to back up all your private data - format and re-install/update Windows. An infection that is removing applications at will sounds quite serious. I would never trust the machine again even when I thought it was fixed and clean. | AltF4 (13255) | ||
| 628265 | 2008-01-12 19:25:00 | You can also try to download and install in your pc AVG anti virus since it can removed trojans but if a lot of your file is already infected might as well do some reformat on your pc. | Softix (13253) | ||
