Virus Removal.

No, thank goodness they're all still in my head or on my dad's computer which runs the same antivirus just fine. I meant I feel like I've got a lot of stuff to deal before school starts after tomorrow. Oh Dang! *runs and studies marching paper for monday's drill*

Didn't bother to read this completely through, so I don't know if this problem has been resolved or not. Anyways, I had a Rogue Virus and I was able to get it out with a free program called "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware". It's definitly worth looking into and is fairly simple to use. Good luck.  :)

Anyways, here is a solution...
Firstly, you might want to download AntiMalware - http://www.antimalwarenow.com/ - It's free and not only does it detect virus's but it also completely wipes it off your computer. I used this when I had a rogue virus which didn't allow me to open .exe files.

Once you install the program, go to the updates tab and click "Check for updates". Once the software updates, then go to the scanner tab and click "scan". Oddly it detected 560+ virus's on my computer, and it deleted them all! The scan could take several to thirty minutes depending on the amount of files you have. The program will search through everything.

When it finish's, there should be an option that allows you to delete all the virus's listed. After it deletes them, you will get a word document or a seperate file that shows all the files that have been deleted and why. Afterwards, it will promt you to restart your computer, so do so.

Sorry if this has been solved already, just thought I'd let you know.

I managed to figure out what scotty was talking about and I disabled it. Just in time, too. Things were getting so slow, explorer wouldn't run. I had to hunt the services application down in system32 with command line using more "dir" commands than I ever want to use again. Really makes me feel for the folks who had to deal with Unix.

By the way, scotty, what do you do for a living now that you're out of the Marines?

Sounds like a bit more overkill than what I was expecting.  I just assumed you'd be able to find the service in the list of services and disable it, then reboot.  I had no idea you'd be going through the system32 folder for whatever reason.

To answer your question, I'm about to move out to Annapolis, MD to do web development for the United States Intelligence Community.  I'm expected to start working around Jan. 15th, dependent upon when they can transfer my clearance.  I'll probably be out there within the next week and a half.

Control panel isn't an actual place. That is, you can't get to it by clicking through folders or using 'cd' in command line. All the programs in it are actually links to the real program elsewhere. Services(the program that brings up the list) is actually found in system32. Once I found and started it, it was simple.

At long last, I'm making this post from my own computer!

I thought you'd be doing something like that. You seem to know a whole lot about computers. Far more than I do, at least.

Just started wondering: what is the ventrilo server? I've heard of it a long time ago, but it was donors-only at a time when I wasn't a donor, so I didn't pay attention.
