Help With A Computer Virus.

Nothing worth having is ever free.

oh im sorry i actually thought that apache, linux, mysql, and php (the server that this board is hosted on uses these) were useful but i totally forgot that they are free so they suck dick. i also forgot that a majority of web and email server are run on F/OSS platforms and that the backbone of the internet is build on software "not worth having" called BSD. how about you keep throwing money at shitty software that gets viruses and then pay out more money to "fix" the problem but still get viruses. that sounds not worth having. thankfully i bought a 100k$ car that they tires fall off and the car blows up. but then i also paid the mob 2k so nothing would happen to my pretty car and 30k to some other car company so that the tires wouldnt fall off but the oil leaks now. but in the end i pissed away a bunch of cash and thats all that matters right? because its not like IBM, Novel, Intel, Red Hat and other corps actually PAY the programmers to program open source software. no they are a bunch of dirty scum fucking hippies in their moms basement.

Okay, you got me there. Linux is pretty awesome but it's tough to work with. Not free from headaches. I guess I misspoke. Since Mush was talking about what I can only assume is a Windows platform, I was making a generality to free anti-malware apps for Windows. I've never had one that works without flaw. There's always a problem somewhere. I'm sorry I got your hackles up.

Last time I had a virus/trojan, I did some snooping and managed to come up with some suspicious name. If you see anything suspicious like the program installing stuff on your desktop without you knowing or if the program is visible on your desktop then put anything suspicious you find in quotations into google to see what kind of thing your dealing with.

Then put it into youtube. There are toooons of tutorials that are really helpful.

I also highly recommend the malaware bytes anti-malaware for actually removing it.
