my computer seems to be infected so it will not allow me to go online/connect to the internet. what programs do you recommend I use for cleaning out the present viruses and parasites and ? plus also blocking them in the future?
Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT. You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT. Unzip HijackThis into this folder. (See this link for graphical instructions) Then run, scan, save log, then in notepad copy the FULL log by copy and paste as a reply to this post and an expert with HijackThis Knowldge, will have a go at giving advice. A lot of posters make mistakes here in copying and pasting so reread the left info sidebar called Copy and Paste Please note the list of experts names below, very few forum regulars here have had this training. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING WITH HIJACKTHIS WITHOUT EXPERT ADVICE, most of what it finds you need for normal MS Windows tasks.
Lots of the regular posting anti-malware experts on this board have moved to pastures new for various reasons. You may find it better to find another support site to assist you.
Please go to this link and choose one of the websites on the left of the page. Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals As you can see they all work together in cleaning malware (Virus, Spyware and adware).
To help you choose from that list
TomCoyotes contains the anti-malware school - Classroom. SpyWareInfo contains the anti-malware school - BootCamp. Net-Intergration is the support site of Spybot S&D. Lavasoft Support is the support site of Ad-aware. Wilders Security has since stopped hijackthis log support due to the lack of experianced helpers. Others that I would recommend Zerosrealm, Subratam.org, SpyWare BeWare and ComputerCops, but generally all those on that list will have experts to help you. Texruss and myself are Teachers at The TomCoyote Forum.
There are still some knowledgable people left posting here at Dell, so you may still get help from them.
I wish you all the best at getting your computer clean.
