do a virus scan of your complete system

bring your PC to www.TrendMicro.com and click the link for Housecall.  Its an online Spam and virus scanner.  It should find most of the garbage out there.  If that doesn't work open your task manager and find out what process is using up all your system resources.  Then search that process in google and there's a ton of web sites out there that will tell you if its part of Windows, a legit program you installed, a Virus or Spam. GoodLuck

Once it is infected it is very dangerous Your computer could have a worm or a virus.The best thing you could go would be to put it in a air tight trash bag and send it to be incinerated. Keep a close watch on your other peripherals for signs that they have infected and once you have had the room fumigated it will be safe to go to the store and buy a new computer.

Begin by running a program to see if you are infected with Spy or Ad ware. Some good ones are Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware (run both). You can get these from http://www.download.com\n\nAfter that, run a virus scan on your machine. A good, free online scan can be found at http://www.housecall.antivirus.com\n\nNext hit Start->run, and then type "msconfig" without the quotes. Once here, click the startup tab and then uncheck any boxes that aren't your antivirus program or a firewall, or something similar. You won't need any of these to autostart. The only reason they do is to check for updates and so they launch a little faster when you want to use them, but if you can wait 5 seconds when you want to use any one of them, its a lot better then 20 minutes when you boot your machine.\n\nAfter this, it will tell you to restart your computer, but before you do, run disk clean up (Start->All Programs->Accessories-> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup)\n\nNow reboot. If you machine still takes a while to boot up, you probably need more RAM. You can try increasing virtual Memory, but this is not always the best solution. You can buy RAM pretty cheap (1G for about $75 @ www.tigerdirect.com) and it is easy to install. This will help with all programs. \n\nLastly, if you have a disk management program such as Norton System works, you may want to disable it as programs such as these take a very long time to start.\n\nHope this helps! Good Luck!

what anti virus tool did you use to remove? go to the web site for it and enter the same info in the virus search box and it will give you all the info on the infection.

How do you know you've got a virus?\nIf you're sure go to Microsoft web site and use the malicious spy ware software program, if this doesn't find it get and use spy-bot search and destroy.\nThey should clear it for you. Remember though that some viruses are hard to shift and you might need to run spy-bot a couple of times to get rid of it. Once its gone use avg to keep things clean and sweet.\n\nAny way I can help contact me\nDave B

If you think it's a virus, try running an antivirus software in Safe Mode. Then you can be sure if its a virus or not. Sometimes the virus isn't really gone. Cheap or free anti-virus programs do that.

First run a viruse scan. They may have added tools that allow to keep coming in. Second if there are any strange files, removed files, modified files you may have been hacked. But there really is no way to know unless they changed something.

First of all to avoid an infection, use a firewall. To remove the virus, try scanning your hard drive for it using an anti-virus software. If you think that your antivirus is infected, download someother antivirus. Or use stinger ( http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ ), a standalone virus removal tool.

No, you are not infected. This usually happens if you use Pirate Windows! Forget Windows Firewall, get other free firewalls, their even better than Windows Firewall or security center, windows firewall is full crap. But Vista Firewall is good. I am using Vista now, thats why i know.

Seriously, talk to your dermatologist.  Get a diagnosis and then look that up on medical websites.  Yahoo Answers is not the place to be asking about infections - Yahoo Answers is filled with people who give the wrong answers just to be cruel.  \n\nCall your dermatologist right away if your antibiotics aren't working or if your health issue has worsened.  Only s/he can diagnose you properly; by looking at your skin and all the other things.
