Very bad malware, spyware, Adware, etc. Also browser redirect?
My brother recently downloaded rogue antispyware, and it is a b**** to get rid of. Firefox will not even open, along with many other programs. I can’t even download virus software because internet explorer redirects me to asiuoqgusdbaksd.com everytime i try to google something or open a webpage. also, my desktop has been hijacked. i have been running in safe mode with networking, that wont even help. i still can’t run most programs. i cannot even go to online virus scanners like trendmicro because of the redirect. also, i have disabled ALL add-ons in internet explorer, same thing. i am thinking of making an antivirus boot cd. what should i do? also i can’t download smitfraudfix.
sounds like a spyware .hopefully firefox will work somehow, if not, is there another computer you can use to down load onto a disk, if you can, even the library, or a friends. try to get:
“spybot search and destroy” from www.safer-networking.org/
adaware from lavasoft.com
and avast free, from avast.com
or you can get all 3 from www.download.com for free
