Stupid Malware!

[gamerdakota]

Hi,I run a spyware scan everyday and most of the time its just some tracking cookies.
But today when I ran a scan with Ad-Aware SE it said I had 3 malware trojans.I clicked to remove them but when I ran another scan I still had those 3 trojans.What should I do!?

Did you restart your computer after you ran the ad-aware scan?

Restarting might not solve the problem... I had a fucking horrible spyware infection. My dad (who's a programmer) had to fucking go into the code of these fucking programs to find them. He said that he had to do some shit like trace everything to tiny bits of code. I don't exactly know how he did it, but after about 3 plus hours he cleaned it up. Although some shit could still be stuck... My advice to you if you still see that shit or any sign of a problem with the computer take it to a pro...

You are fucked. But I suggest like buying norton really quickly, Do you live with your pareents cause you can say "I'll pay you back, but I have 3 trogans, and there killing my harddrive!! please buy norton for me quickly!!" And if they have a credit card, or some extra cash they should be able to do that for you, but if they don't then I can't really help you. =(

You should stop using your computer immediately, you should turn your CPU off, and unplug the CPU. If you don't, the virus is a ticking timebomb and will destroy your computer whenever it can.

Run, Bobby, run! Run as far away from the computer as you can, and make sure you never come back to Newgrounds!

Reformat. Adaware SE doesn't take away viruses.

He has trojans which can be things other than viruses.

Any ways, reboot , start in safe mode by hitting F8 repeatedly during set up, choose safe mode w/o networking, and proceed to run the ad aware scan. Take down the file pathways directories, hit quarantine , and then run the check again. If you are still having problems, post the file directories here, I'll run a check.
