Splak.net :: View topic - Virus... again

Yeah..... so when i got home today (i've been gone for a week), i go to turn on my computer. It started like normal but after it started pop-ups and all this other stuff started coming up saying i have malware and spyware all that stuff.

When i left my computer was fine, so i have no clue why this is happening. I've tried to system restore but the virus deleted my system restore points and the only one i have is when i started the computer today.... if that makes sense. Also when i start up my computer it now takes like 2 minutes for the icons and taskbar to show up... it's slowing down my computer.

I really don't want to do what i did last time which was a full system restore because that took way too long and i got in trouble with my dad....

So what i'm asking is that if any of you know of a FREE, working antivirus or something that will actually get rid of them. I've tried all this before and i've tried scanning but i can't get rid of them.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Download MalwareBytes Anti-Malware http://tinyurl.com/9ntdtp (Page goes to CNet download.com); Run the program, its perfectly safe and its very good. You could use Avira and/or Avast (might not do the job-not sure) http://www.free-av.com/ - http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Different programs will work different, may not always get rid of the suspected virus/trojan. I have Windows Defender, Spybot: Search and Destroy, Walwarebytes Anti-malware and some other virusscan. It does the job, don't download things that aren't necessary though. Some free anti-spyware/ anti-virus program MAY come with ADware, use the trusted services.

In that case, you probably still have some effects of Vundo. Download VundoFix http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4 It may help.
