My Norton came up with an alert requiring a manual fix, I followed the guide and it does absolutely fuck all.

How do I get shot of the fuckin thing?

Web pages still load up ok but trying to watch youtube etc is annoying as it keeps stopping every few seconds then starting again when usualy its fine.

Anyone help???

Doing it now mate

 

says its found nothing mate

 

Got SpyBot, ran a scan in safe mode and found and removed 8 trojans

The past few weeks I been getting this on start up too

RunDLL
Error loading C:\Users\BigErn\AppData\Local\Temp\byXNeBrO.dll
The Specific module could not be found.


Whats it mean? How can I get rid of that?

Firefox has started crashing all the time too and I have to use IE.


I HATE COMPUTERS

 

sounds like its so full of shit that trying to patch it up will be fighting a losing battle.

imho, back up your data, then reinstall

then after that, stop using dodgy websites and/or programs

 

How?

 

don't reinstall yet. Try a system restore first. if your using XP, find it in start, programs, accessories, system tools.

Piss easy to do, follow the on screen instructions. Back a week or two should do it

Just ran a speedtest too, thats fine.

 

Rich I tried system restore a few weeks ago and it did fuck all again.

My laptop is an Advent 9115 and its got Vista on it

 

how far did you resotre it to? A trojan can be nestled in the system for a while before it rears its ugly head.

I personally think norton is rubbish. I use avast anti virus. Download it for free and it does automatic free updates from here : http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Rich

 

Earliest restore I can do is 5/7/08 which isnt enough.

Been having bother on and off for a coupleof months now

 

hmm. well the only thing i can suggest is try that avast. And make sure it runs the boot time scan on first restart.

Failing that, then it could well be a reinstall!

 

System restore is not responding so I cant do that either.

Norton ocassionally prompted me to do backups, of what I dont know, but I found a disc with "full backup" done on 6/4/08. How do I make it work?????

 

Not too clued up on vista so i dont really know mate.

Do you have any important documents on the computer? Make sure you have a hard copy of these saved first.

A backup disc will only restore lost files though, it will not remove viruses.

As i said, my best advice i can give you is try that avast program and make sure you do the boot time scan.

Rich

 

Nowt important on the computer, just music and pictures thats all really mate.

Ill try the Avast, used to have that on my other computer.

 

ok mate, lemme know what happens

 

How do I disable Norton while I do the Avast?

Im shit with computers

 

can you right click it and disable it? If it were mine i'd uninstall it and get rid of it, i think norton is rubbish.

Although they should both work together ok.

google norton removal tool, and you will need that to remove norton properly, then install avast and do a full scan.
Norton isnt worth the box it comes in!

 

Ran the avast boot up scan and found another infected file and another trojan, got rid of them but still get the RunDLL message.

Things are still not working as quick as they were ie youtube and the like.

 

Reinstall time. Ive had enough of fucking on. Nothing important to lose and got back ups of all my pics I wanna keep. So..........

How do I do it????

Anyone wanna walk me through it?

 

you HAVE TO TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE .. before the scan otherwise you just reinstall the problems

do a agv scan spy-bot then adawere with it turned off

Ok how do I turn it off then?

 

Right its off now

One quick scan now then Ill leave the rest till tomorrow.

Cheers for your help so far guys

 

If it was me I would still do a reinstall... I don't trust viruses & trojans!!

 

ditch Norton aswell

 

Instead of constantly asking for ideas, get someone who knows PC's and who you trust, install Logmein Free, get them to connect and fix it for you. Saves a shitload of time.

PM if you want more info.

 

yep good suggestion^^

also in future any file your not sure about use a Virtual PC or test it in a sandbox...google will fill you in on what i mean

 

get superantispyware pro (google it) update to latest definitions and watch it remove everything. its VERY good program.

that dll sounds like a variant of vundo on you machine !
