Fix Windows 7 Virus

Problem :

It creates hidden executables with names like yttd.exe and always sets explorer to not show the hidden files.
I have avira antivirus and already tried a few other ones but although sometimes it detects them as a virus most of the time it doesn't.


Solution :


I have reinstalled windows 7 and after updating the anti-virus program it managed to detect a virus trace in the file.
my guess is that this happened because i submitted the file to about five anti-virus companies a couple of days ago (now both avira and avast detect it, although one week ago they failed to do so).

my only option was reinstalling windows - on my desktop the virus still doesn't get detected because i haven't reinstalled windows on it yet.
i don't know how i got the virus - i usually don't click on any link that gets in my way, i have some pc experience to know better than that, but then again who knows someone can click on nowadays.

the virus root is SPR/AutoIT.Gen

so i guess problem solved with the drastic solution of reinstalling windows, that i wanted to avoid
thanks anyway though.

Fix Yahoo Email Virus

Problem :

I seem to have a virus in my yahoo mails which is causing my yahoo mail to email spam to my contacts in my address book. does anyone know how to fix this and get rid of the virus? my friends are beginning to get annoyed because they are being bombarded with emails from my address which I have not sent.

I do have Norton on my laptop and its running fine without showing any signs of virus.


Solution :

You probably don't have a virus just someone has hacked into your email account. All you can do is change your password and be careful. Here are a couple of free tools that may be useful to you. I use Norton as well as these tools.

malwarebytes free edition- it's an excellent "on demand" scanner that only runs when you start it. It is great at finding malware that Norton misses. Just make sure you ALWAYS update it first. Run a full scan at least once a week.

Fix Google Redirect Virus

Problem :
Hey Geeks i seem to have gotten the google redirect virus. How do i fix this? I only use my computer to email and video conference with my grand children. please help me to fix this Google redirect virus.

Solution:

A common browser hijack virus known as the "Google Redirect Virus" basically takes over your web browser, sending any searches you request off to random and irrelevant advertising websites. The main telltale symptom is when your computer redirects your search efforts at least 2 or 3 times before it finally takes you to the site you were trying to visit.

Another way to tell if you have this virus, or not, is if you're getting various pop-up windows along with new tabs while you're trying to browse the Internet.

The Google Redirect Virus has a bit of a different spin, which makes it harder to pinpoint and harder to get rid of. Most viruses use an application or file that runs continually on your computer, so your antivirus program can catch and fix the problem.

The Google Redirect Virus, on the other hand, loads onto your system, changes some web browser files and vanishes. That's why it's so hard to remove. Your antivirus program has to find the virus before it can remove it and after the virus has done its damage and disappeared, finding it becomes impossible.

To remove the virus, you have to fix the infected files and settings. This is done by using a tool or method that targets the infected files. Unfortunately, it's not common knowledge as to which settings and files have been changed, which is why most antivirus programs can't remove it. The best way to remove it is to try an application called ComboFix. This basic program isn't listed on most download websites, but is very effective and fast at removing the Google Redirect Virus. It uses a script to fix the files on that script, which removes the virus.

Following the ComboFix attempt, use a registry cleaner program to scan your PC. This will find and fix any errors that may remain in the system. Most people don't realize that the Google Redirect Virus leaves hundreds of files and settings on your computer that will cause you lots of grief in the future. That's why you need to use a registry cleaner to be positive that there's nothing left behind after the virus is removed. The registry cleaner will insure that.
