Hi, I am on my aunts computer. Trying to get rid of this Big Bad Virus. Idk how she got it but it really hard to get out. I downloaded nortan virus and that didn't even remove it after like 2 hours of scanning and deleting some trojans and stuff that were on it.

I looked the program up on google and found this website. A user had the same problem as me. This is what he said:

I was listening to songs when i was move to a website to download mp3 codec. Stupidly i didnt think and run the exe. It turn out to be a virus. Now I get stuff at my toolbar saying low cpu perfomance or halt error connection and when i click on it opens up internet explorer page where it look like windows security center and ask me to install some anti spy ware programs or it open a rapidscanner anti spy ware and ask for installment.

I get some a toolbox from the icon in toolbar saying "Your computer is infected" and then it ask me to use special anti spyware protection.
It also give me gay fetish sex and best bdsm porn icons on my desktop.
Someone please help me
.-- heres the link to the thread-- http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post714615.html
-------------------------------------------

I am currently on Safe Mode right now. I removed the nortan antivirus and I am scanning with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. I would follow the person who had the same problem as me but it might be different for me at the end.

If i try to go on regular boot.The Computer will start up. it will run the gay icon, along with rapid virus thing. and if i connect to the internet with normal boot it will auto download all these virus things.

Good progress so far: has already run Malwarebytes and saved HijackThis output, correctly stressed the need for a working AV, and ’s suggestion to use multi‑engine scanners for suspicious executables is on point. For persistent fake‑AV/toolbar infections that reappear after normal boot, an offline pre‑boot cleanup plus a purge of restore points is often required.

Recommended ordered recovery workflow:

  1. Isolate the PC — disconnect from the network and remove untrusted USB devices.
  2. Back up personal files to external media, but do not open them on another machine until they have been scanned on a known‑clean system.
  3. Create a bootable antivirus rescue environment on a clean computer (ISO -> CD/USB), boot the infected PC from it and run a full offline scan. Offline scans can remove files that are locked during normal boot.
  4. After offline cleaning, boot to Safe Mode (no networking), disable System Restore to remove infected restore points, clear temporary files, then re‑run updated on‑demand scanners.
  5. Use Autoruns (Sysinternals) or equivalent to inspect all autostart locations and services; remove unknown entries and check registry autostart points (Run keys, Winlogon/Userinit, AppInit_DLLs). Run "sfc /scannow" to repair core files if needed.
  6. Reconnect, install and fully update a reputable antivirus, then run full system scans. Reset the hosts file and browser settings and create a fresh restore point.
  7. If symptoms persist or core system integrity is compromised, back up data and perform a clean OS reinstall — this is the most reliable final fix.

Cautions: do not pay or enter financial data into programs demanding immediate payment, and change all account passwords after cleanup. The combination of an offline rescue scan, a Restore‑point purge, autoruns inspection, and a final full AV sweep is the typical path from recovery to long‑term safety.

Btw i have my vista laptop right next to me. Also I have a 2gb flash drive with me if that helps to remove this nasty virus.

edit: while i am in safe mode with networking some virus's still come out. like ex. a pornovid setup thing trying to get me to install it. i click cancel everytime though

Hi, can I ask why you removed the Norton Anti-virus program? This means you are no longer protected and since you all ready have infections this can mean that more will enter the computer as you are noting in this statement;

while i am in safe mode with networking some virus's still come out. like ex. a pornovid setup thing trying to get me to install it. i click cancel everytime though

I would advise that you immediately reinstall that Norton program. One thing you must realize is that NO anti-virus program will remove everything and many do not even touch trojans at all, this is why we recommend additional tools like MBA-M. You must either reinstall, update and enable the Norton program OR install another anti-virus program IMMEDIATELY.
If the Norton license is current I would recommend the reinstall of that one, if it is expired then install one of these;
Avast, Antivir and AVG are all good, all FREE. Pick one, download, install, update and enable. Update it often, scan with it weekly at least.

Stop the MBA-M scan. Turn off the computer. Disconnect the internet cord from the computer so that it cannot get online.
Reboot the computer in normal mode and then do the FULL SCAN with MBA-M.
Allow it to FIX EVERYTHING found.
Shut down the computer. Re-attach the internet cord. Reboot in normal mode and let us know what happens.

the thing is. I cannot get on the computer if i turn it on regular. if i do i will log on and it will pop up with pls instal this and all this virus stuff will popup. and when i close it more popup. even if the internet is turned off.
I have mcafee. so I can install that. but the virus won't let me update it.

But WHY did you Uninstall Norton?
Go ahead and run the MBA-M in safe mode WITHOUT networking. You DO NOT NEED to be ONLINE to run MBA-M or actually ANY cleaner unless it is an online antivirus program.
Fix everything found.
Reboot to NORMAL mode and then run a HJT scan and post both the MBA-M log and also the HJT log.
We really need to see HJT from Normal Mode.
Why did you Uninstall Norton I ask again.

oh ok. I uninstalled Nortan because when i start it up regular Nortan won't work. Only in safe mode it will.I think the virus it making it not work. but idk . im a noobie to this :3

Ok. I understand. You do need an anti-virus program on there. Go with either the Norton or one of those free ones. The McAfee is a paid program and she would have to pay to use it, even if you all ready have the disk the program on the computer would have to be licensed and in order to do that she would have to pay.
It would be very unusual for an anti virus program to start in Safe Mode except for scanning. It won't start for protection in Safe Mode so I must assume you mean it wouldn't scan in normal mode.

yea. :3 that's what i meant sorry :3

I have a flash drive with me with the avg on it. right now im scanning the computer with malwarebytes anti-malware. after it's done i do the ihackthis program? or i install avg?

Go ahead and do the HJT and post both logs here. Then install the AVG and attempt to update. Even if you cannot update please do a full scan with it and fix everything found. Please note name and location of anything found by the AVG scan.

The scan is done with both hijackthis and malwarebyte's here are the logs.
