Does anyone know of any viruses that in a way takes over explorer
my comp is like so fucked and i wanna try to fix it before it crashes
thanks in advance
Internet Explorer? What exactly happened to it?
not internet explorer but regular explorer like lets say if u press cntl alt del you'll see explorer i dunno exactly all the shit with it but its like the desktop and such
the problem is that its suppose to always be on cntl alt del and recently my comp starts explorer is there and then it disapears,
wat i usuaully do is end task it and then 2-3 rundll's open up i erase 2 leave one cause there should be just 1 i believe
im stumped about wats wrong with it
So when u hit CTRL + ALT + Delete the Task Manager comes up then disappears? Strange indeed. And you dont have any Antivirus stuff on your computer? If you don't, I can hook you up with a cracked Norton I got. At least clean out some of the viruses if any. Also, Windows has an Anti Spyware BETA program, and it's been working well for me lately. You can go on Microsoft.com and search for it there. There are some computer guys on the boards who are more experienced. Try the antivirus software first. My only suggestion right now.
well task manager doesnt disapear just explorer does, i have antivir on my computer and its suppose to be really good i just finished a scan and there was 3 things they found and they are deleted, can spyware do that cause i have a shitload of spyware on my computer for some reason, popups occur like every couple minutes
best possible solution: buy a mac...
until then, youre just fooling around with a glorified calcuator...
was a really necessary to tell me that, thanks for the help though 
Also... don't use Internet Explorer. http://www.getfirefox.xom
wats so good about fire fox anyway besides tapped browser
???
Use it, and when you don't have any spyware ever again, you'll thank me. Plus, it's a million times faster than IE. And looks cooler. And there are loads of different add-ons. I can control my winamp from the browser. I have the weather for the next three days on the bottom of my browser. Plus... tabbed browsing, dude. Tabbed browsing. I don't think I could ever go back to not having it.
spyware blocker?
i dont get how that would make a diff though i erase the shit in my comp every day with ad aware and its just keep comming
stop d/ling non-group mp3s and lesbian horse pr0n

I normally use Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D and Pest Patrol combined with SpywareBlaster, while occasionally using Microsoft's Antispyware as well as Webroot SpySweeper - just to be sure that I've gotten everything. At this point, it sounds to me like you may actually need to run HijackThis so you can distinguish exactly what malware is running rampant in that PC. And as far as antiviruses are concerned, I've had 2 computers become infected with viruses in the past - one was running McAfee (IMO, crapola) and the other Norton. I will never waste any money on either of those products again. Kaspersky has my business for now. Anyway, here's a semi-enlightening article for you to read: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1844633,00.asp |

I have had 1 virus in my history of using a computer and i have never ran constant virus protection and I rarely get any spyway and the ones that i do get are normaly tracking cookies. It pays to be informed on the sites your going too..Also opening random emails is a bad idea...

However, I think it only took me about an hour or so to remove everything afterwards, but then I just reformatted and did a fresh Windows install anyway. 
AVG antivirus is free and I've heard good things about it.
