Comp Problems

this has nothing to do with KMC but I can't figgure it out!
I have a portal Worm on my comp! I've tryed EVERYTHING, system restore locks down, Virus Scann locks down, EVERYTHING!!!!
How do I get rid of it! It wont let me play any games or install anything!
Help!!!

make sure your virusscanner is up-to-date 🙂

i figured out i had it while trying to update it, so it wont dl the update!

there are online virusscanners you can try out

but I would wait till Raz posts a link to one of those 🙂

depands on the worm...some worms jam files on u're sistem...so there isn't any antivirus scan to fix that...
But still you gotta check it online...there is a very good one,that you can find it only online...can't remember the name...I'll go and search..

How do you know it's a worm?

It's is more likely to be spyware. Download the program and run it: http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10194058.html?tag=lst-0-1

I know its a worm bacause my computer genius friend told me and I know it's not spyware because I allready have Spy-bot search and Destroy and its the first thing i ran and it still don't work.

TpT give this one a shot: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

it's webbased

Open source (free) solution here: http://clamwin.sourceforge.net/

We use ClamAV here on the servers.

Fire: Tryed it and it re-boots my comp halfway through the scan.

And I don't get how to Use Raz's

tpt: hit the link, than click on "here" in "Download the binary installer for Microsoft Windows and source code here."

than click on "clamwin-0.1c-setup.exe", let it download and install it... that's the scanner, run it and you should get rid of it 🙂

Now all I need is DSL to speed up the DL and I'll be in good shape!

it's not that big to download

Well, thanks for the effort Raz, but no go.
It don't work, it restarts my comp like all the others.

can you just save your important files on a CD or DVD and than format the disc?

or spend some money on a second HD, or borrow one install that one and run your comp from that HD to get to your files, or format one partition and reinstall your OS

i'm gonna back up my essential crap, then my uncle is conna "Help me out" with upgrading to W2k.

don't tell me you're on 98 or 95 😖

No Im using ME but that is essentially 98 with a new haircut
