I have this problem atm with some stupied thing i installed by mistake. It comes up with these fake look-alike messeges which resemble windows, saying theres a trojan etc etc and i need to buy this virus scanner to get rid of it.

Anyway here is my problem: I scan with alotta different programs, none of em find anything wrong with it, I know where the files are located, and when i try to delete them manualy they're in use and it doesnt let me. Also I was using Ewido-antispyware proggy to look through the processes, i can shut the processes down but they restart almost immidiately.

These two processes running contribute to ALOT of pop-ups and i really do mean alot, it also slows the shite outta my computer. Help would be extreamly appriciated!

1) Stop looking at porn.
2) Google the process that's running it, there should be a fix.
3) Download any fixes/patches
3) Run a proper anti virus (Trend, Norton, what ever) - In safe mode
4) Install patches/fixes


Spybot S&D is a good tool too.

Yeah it is :) I had the same questions a while ago, answered via google - they're all actually used. (Though you can get a rouge one once in a while)

Close them and find out :)

Make sure you don't close 'explorer' though.

www.hitmanpro.nl

Download link: http://hitmanpro1.dyndns.org/strider2/link.aspx?name=download

Don't freak out when it installs. :p
Website is only dutch, I just noticed, Hitmanpro is a program that compiles a serious shitload of anti-virusses, spyware and runs them all simultanously right after the install. If Hitmanpro doesn't delete it, nothing can :p

I'll try to translate as good as possible:
#Downloads and installs the familiar antispywareprograms such as NOD32, CWShredder, AD-Aware, Spybot S&D, Spy Sweeper, Ewido Micro, Spyware Doctor, Spyware Blaster, Windows securityupdates, hotfixes, etc ...
#Automatically downloads the newest updates.
#Automatically controls the external antispywaresoftware. It executes scans, deletes (if enabled) detected threats and protects against evil ActiveX-elements.
#Will use complementary (if in existance) purchased copies of external antispyware.
#Generates a full rapport of all the executed actions so the user gets a clear image containing the infection and protection.
#Advanced computerusers can use the Expert function to gain full control over the found object.

When installing, he'll ask you to click 'Accept all', make sure to do this cause it'll save alot of time. When you click this he'll install all the antispyware automatically (meaning: clicking the buttons automatically etc..)

Wtf did I translate it all then :<

Hard to believe that it doesn't help tho. What's the name of the process?

//Edit: fuck me, just read your post where you said that Hitmanpro couldn't find it :<
