Seriously need help

[Bounty_Bam]

My PC is about had I think.... I really need help. Ive been infected by Trojans, Worms, Adware, Malware, and spyware. I ran numerous searches with about 5 programs, and deleted them all. While playing a game, they all kicked back in again.

Now I cant even run ANYthing, install/uninstall anything (Windows installer wizard cannot be run).

When my desktop comes on after booting up, all I see is my wallpaper (no taskbar, icons etc), untill i cancel one of the svchost.exe processor, that I believe has infected C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer, as i THOUGHT id deleted it.

McAfee has been disabled and will not let me run it.

My internet connection has been deleted, and Im affraid to set up another incase a keyloggers (my username and password)

At the moment, Im having to use my girlfriends computer as mine is almost dead.

ANY help or advise would be greatly apprechiated, I was wondering if there was any virus/spyware/sh*t removers I could run from DOS?

You can spend forever trying to clean it up, or you could rebuild and install a good antivirus. If things are that bad you'll probably save more time by biting the bullet to be honest.

It's beyond saving, re-install windows!

[Hunain]

Forget about saving it, boot up from your OS CD, delete all partitions, do not try to copy any data off the PC as probably you will carry the virus along, just delete all partitions, then format the C drive, install the OS, then boot up, install a good antivirus such as Nod32 or Kaspersky, then format the rest of the partitions and enjoy

I also think a format is required. I've wasted a lot of time trying to sort these things out on family computers but these days I just format and start again. Its really not worth the hassle

It does raise the question - how did you manage to get it so heavily infected?

It isnt that hard, have no antivirus, no spyware/adware remover, use IE 6 and click on every link that says Click here

Precisely - self inflicted!

Time to reformat and start over I think.

[Bounty_Bam]

Firewall, turned itself off, I suspect one got in before I updated my virus definations. All clear now, started again Tha b*stards

Its probably too late, but next time, you can backup essential files onto external media with a live linux disc and then scan them before copying them back...

I used a Memory Stick

I thought so too,but did not want to be that explicit

You copied your music etc on a memory stick, reformatted and copied it back? What AV you using now? Did you format all the partitions? Mostly its not just the C drive that is infected....even after a fresh install the buggers are still resident in the other partitions, also in system files you can't manually delete etc.Its best to format the whole Disk, then you would do good to scan your memory disk before copying data off it, and scan it with a good AV, like Nod32.

Can be cleaner, however more than likely a time consuming long process....

If you format, backup all your valuable must have data, generally malware wont be carried over in normal data. Just be careful. And before putting it back on a fresh install make sure its all scanned etc.

Good Luck.
