my laptop has been going crazy
loading internet explorer all the time saying remove all these files now etc...
the story goes on lol

ive done a restore for a few days ago and it has seem to of worked.

im wanting to no the best scanner for spyware and virus's like this
i tryed avg and spybot but they did not find anything to do with this virus??

i have no virus protection like norton or anything at the moment as i dont no what to get
norton and mcafee slowed my laptop right down so i decided not to use anything

any recomendations please

thanks

Please follow the Prework link in my signature (below) and post the logs requested in your new reply.

You may like to install AVG Anti-Virus for now. It's free, and it's relatively light in terms of resources:
AVG Free Advisor - Installation files & documentation

1) get cleaned out-- run the "prework" from the link below-- then post the log in HJT logs section
2) After you are clean--
go get AVG free (antivirus)
Zone Alarm free Firewall
3) Never go online with no protection-- it is estimated that an unprotected PC will be infected in 12 minutes OR LESS.

Ya beat me to it Chiaz

added the log file for now does it look good?
will do all required and then type waht stage its at

thanks

you no the avg free version of the anti virus
would that be ok to use all the time running in the system tray????
and would it stop virus getting in
like norton for eg
that would pop up saying it has bloked something
does avg do that?

or woudnt that protect enough

will i have to do the spyware scans as well still

thanks

Yes, you can have it running all the time. In fact, that's the recommendation, if you have uninstalled Norton. AVG does give a pop-up notice when it detects something malicious.

Please run HijackThis and place a checkmark by the following entries:
R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0BF43445-2F28-4351-9252-17FE6E806AA0} - (no file)

Close all other windows except HijackThis and press "Fix Checked". Then close HijackThis and restart the computer.



Waiting for the logs from SUPERAntiSpyware and AVG Anti-Spyware.
