Hey guys,
I recently got a virus god knows how... and I can clearly see its effect three ways.
1. After I boot, I can login and it loads normally for about 30 seconds then i get an error message about explorer crashing and it restarts windows explorer. That was my first sign.
2. Chrome wont work... Its odd, but when I turn on chrome it wont load anything so Im using firefox for the time being
3. When I google anything and click on the link I go to any number of random ad websites. This is very annoying. I can get around this by using the ssl version of google (https:\\www.google.com).
Once upon a time I had a similar virus and I got rid of it with an AVG scan. I did an AVG scan and it found four trojans and healed them. But this still happens. I would use a knoppix live cd to do a scan but I don't understand command line virus scanners.
What can I do?
Thanks,
Chode
