It's been awhile...Annoying virus of shit.

Chaos, (I don't know why I'm pointing at you in this topic) i will say sometimes malware fixes don't work and only make it seem there gone for a short time. I have a way that is faster than trying to fix it the old way. :)

If you have kept your data (files you made) on a different partition/drive and windows/programs on another it makes it a lot easier. Just make an image (with something like Clonezilla/Norton Ghost/ect) of your windows/programs partition/drive like once a month and when your comp starts acting wired for any reason just takes 5 mins to reinstall your windows/programs image.

This is like system restore on windows but is safer because the malware cant infect your image because its not on the same drive unlike system restore. Assuming you place your image on an external HDD or DVDs that's not connected to a comp.

And this way i found (I did not come up with this) is a lot faster than reinstalling windows for most people. (I know you were not suggesting that but I'm just saying to anyone like old me :P)

Now i do suggest reinstalling windows like every 2-3 years just because windows gets slow over time. But i think you would agree with that.

Cool idea, eh?

But non the less the best fix is not to get it at all. And that's easy to do. :D

Yes, that would be another good way of doing it.

Sorry to burst your bubble ART but I tried the alternate version of that link Chao's quoted about. Send my thanks to your aunt, Chaos!

Well anyways used that HijackThis program and deleted some of the files by force. No longer am I getting those infected pop ups, no more porn pop ups (you will be missed), and I can use IE again without having to uncheck the proxy option every 4 minutes. Not like that really matters though since I use Firefox.

Though I only could find a couple of files it was wanting me to delete, not all of them. So I feel that traces of the virus may still be in my computer. But for now it's good. I'll be running like 48 different scans to see what I get. Thanks guys. If you have any other tips let me know.

oh well i did not mean it that way. I meant i made my first post at chaos that was not part of an argument. You know i always seem to start those.

I agree with what is logical.  Assuming I understood what you were saying correctly, your method sounds like a perfectly simple and effective method.  Alas, it requires a bit of foresight to actually do it before your computer is borked, but that is neither here nor there.
