Virus's Trojans and Worms oh my!

[poohj80]

I somehow got a virus yesterday and am still cleaning it up. I think I have the worst of it done, but I am still ending up at a page called (do not go here as it may cause you problems) consumeralertsystem.com even when I type in a working URL (might my IE have been hijacked?). The weird thing is that when I am replying to messages on the DIS boards and I quote the original emssage, their web URL is inserted into the original post I am replying to. So, I don't know if I may have picked this up from the DIS boards since this doesn't happen on other online forums I post to or if that's just a coincidence, but can anyone help me get this cleaned up? SpyBot and MS AnitSpyware aren't finding any threats, but it's still there.

Thanks for any help you may offer!

I am cleaning up a Ttrojan virus off my lap top as I send this from my desk top. The only forum I am on is DIS.

I have something new that shows up on my homepage ( even though when I checked my settings, comcast is still showing up there as my homepage. I keep getting eprotectpage.com- a security website- and then a box that pops up that tells me I am exposed to a virus that attempts to steal passwords =0. Any advice?????

What is a WIN32/ZPerm virus? My AVG keeps finding these WIN32 things. Once it is in my virus vault do I just delete it?

It fixed itself, ended up being a glitch apparently cause there were several having the same problem. THanks though.

Hello,

I am hoping someone here can offer me some help with a problem I am having.
I have read a few pages here and didnt see my problem, so am asking for help.

When ever I post on the boards i get hit with a virus. When I ran Norton and Spybot both it took 15 minutes to clear it.
The identified it as a Tracking cookie?

What happens is all of a sudden I get hundreds and hundreds of pages layering themselves from the dis boards on my screen. It move really fast. Just a few seconds for hundreds of pages to be posted.

It says its a low risk virus. However since it happens almost everytime I post it is driving me nuts!!! I am also afraid it may damage my computer.

I do have my firewalls fairly high and as I stated above I have Norton and Spybot both for security.

any ideas of how to stop this would be greatly appreciated.

A couple of months ago, I got something called z9th-birthday (I think that it what it was called) trojan from some site. It caused my computer to run very slow and crash alot. I had Norton and it wasn't able to fix it. A friend told me to try the free version of Cyberdefender which I did and it worked!! I liked the way it worked easy to understand and the paid version came with 24/7 computer help so I got it.

So, Norton didn't do it for me, but Cyberdefender did - 2 thumbs up!!

I had been using AVG on my system for a long time, then I got a really bad virus that crashed my system and damaged my drive or something.

Anyways, a friend of mine re did my setup on computer and put the free version of Cyberdefender on it.

I am glad he did cuz later it block a website from changing my homepage and stoped a virus attack and it seemd to work well. about once a week at pop-up would remind me of some benefit of the paid version and after that attack I decidied to look at it.

I liked that it had 2 GB of back-up but really liked that they had a phone #,email 24/7 help line for any computer program. $100 for all that, I said deal!!

Very happy with it.
