can you recommend anything??

thanks

steve

Not used a PC for a while but I used to use adaware and spybot.

Anti-spyware?

Just use Microsoft Security Essentials

Malwarebytes too
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

got virtuemonde virus.
i cant get rid of it. anyone help ? 🙁

u tried this site??

Microsoft defender is pretty good but just be warned, lots of anti-spyware products simply can't get rid of the cleverer ones permanently. It takes someone who knows what they're doing a fair amount of time for some stuff.

nockmiester, sounds like my pc is **** then 🙁

Most of the time the correct approach is something like:

– disable Hibernate and System Restore (nastys like to hide there)
– boot Windows into Safe Mode
– run full system scans using virus scanner and anti-spyware (like Spybot or AdAware, or both)
– reboot into Normal mode
– re-enable System Restore and Hibernate.

As GrahamS says, suspend sys restore run, SpyBot,Adaware and Malwarebytes. After this i'd run HijackThis and post results on a forum dedicated to analysing the logs. good luck!!
here's a site with a quick start on Hijackthis, infact you can post ur results there.
