I just win 2 Ipods!!!!!!!!!!

I've noticed recently that I keep hearing the stupid ad through my speakers when I don't even have a web browser open.


I've run Spybot and AVG anti-virus with no luck removing it.


Any ideas what's causing it, or do I just need to do another mass delete of all my porn?

Thats a new one. Download and run this: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007-Free/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5

If you can, take a screencap of your taskmanagers processes and applications tabs.

I actually downloaded adaware and ran it right after I posted this.


It came up with 200ish things that spybot didn't catch...


I also am gonna do a hijack this analysis agter I reboot.

Run avg, spybot and adaware in Safe Mode. Hit F8 as the computer boots.

If you don't do it in Safe Mode, the trojan/virus is in memory and re-writes itself back to the hard drive so it reappears.

I actually tried that (sans adaware) before I posted here.


I removed a few extra entries with adaware and hijack at this point...

I'll let you know.




Hijack caught a few nasty things trying to boot up as system tasks out of the wrong directory (c:\windows instead of the system32 directory)


If all else fails, maybe I actually will get 2 ipods!!!!!!

Also do a scan at Trend Housecall's site... free and catches viral goodness the others might miss...

[thelord68]

If the same files keep coming up, use HijackThis feature to delete files on reboot or use a program called Killbox.

It seems to have stopped after running hijackthis, removing a few entries and re-running spybot and ad-aware.


I also got rid of everything in quarentine

Try running your comp in safe mode, see if the sound keeps up. Run the ad-aware during safe mode...sometimes that helps.
