    Need some advice please
    « on: September 08, 2008, 06:05:20 AM »
    I was on the internet last night when i noticed that that everything was going very slow. I did some checking around my cpu and ran some virus programs. I found some virsus nothing unuasl until i went in my control panel. I noticed that i had to new options under my control panel a MS AV and a Software explorers. I didnt not download or install any of these programs. Could these be some kinds of infections? All my internet use is very slow.

    What were the items in Control Panel (add and remove programs?)?

    Also, you might want to look here so we can see if your computer is infected and help disinfect it:

      Please discard this advice.

      Senthivalli, please leave Malware-Cleaning to the Malware Specialists.

      However, cleaning the temporary files can be useful, but personally I would use CCleaner to do so.

        Thank you i am in the process of doing all those steps on that link  =-). No its not under add or remove programs. I did get a odd pop saying that my computer was infected and can only assume shortly there after those 2 programs showed up under my control panel. I dare not open them cause i have no idea what they are lol

        All right, good luck.

        When you post the three logs, one of our Malware Specialists will help from there. ;)

              For MBAM and SAS, can you download them to a Flash Drive and copy them over?

                i dont know how to do that. I cant even connect to the website to get the download started. Its giving me this error :

                Failed to Connect

                  Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.besttechie.net.

                        Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

                    * Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
                    * Are you unable to browse other sites?  Check the computer's network connection.
                    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

                Clearly i have internet cause i am on this website and can check other websites =-)
