no luck on the restore. I'll try the malwarebytes and avg next. is there any way I could get a link to malwarebytes and exactly what to download? My g/f will be doing this at work and doesnt have a lot of time to mess with it. Thanks for all the help
I literally just had to format my drive to get rid of an evil virus similar to that " reader_s*****" Virtumonde. Win32\Virut. It does nasty things and is all most impossible to remove without a re-format and a clean install.
I couldn't download any updates for windows or anti virus, no system restore and everytime I went to an online scanner web page it wouldn't load but every other site worked fine. I used Spy-bot, Malawarebytes and AVG, all would detect this virus, but none will completely remove it since it attaches itself to everything in Windows and shreds it's registry. Seems all the top anti virus\ spy ware programs leave remnants behind and never fully rid this infection.
Good luck,
This just happened to me over the weekend.
Grandson wanted to play Counter Strike and clicked on something he shouldn't have.
Had to reformat and reload the whole computer.
