Can anyone help with this virus problem.
I have adaware detecting Win32TrojanAgent and Win32TrojanTDSS. and AVG (fully updated) detecting the Cryptor virus.
Both say they have cleaned them off (AdAware needing a reboot to do it's stuff), but each time I restart Windows, the system is getting re-infected
It's reaaaallly starting to ****** me off as it takes 2 hrs for a full virus scan.
clearly the virus is not getting totally removed and its finding a way to reinstall itself afterwards.
Tried to install Malwarebytes Anti-malware as it seems to be mentioned by a few people, but it's not installing properly (maybe the virii are blocking it).
The only symptom is that Firefox search results are just clicking thru to random, dodgy websites. IE seems fine, and is actually the default browser.
Windows Update aint working too......just hangs at the page that is supposed to be checking for what is installed already. This seems odd and is maybe the payload again
ARGGGHHHHH ! ! Wasted two days trying to get it clean
any ideas folks ?
