[betrayed]

I clicked on my friends away message that said:


OMFG LOOK

?!!!??!?


Now I advise you, DO NOT go to that website.. I have a virus now that won't let me open programs/certain windows.. I know how to fix it, but it closes the window I need.. Anyone know how to get around this..?

Now I advise you, DO NOT go to that website..

I have had something similar a few times. Hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and look in your process list. If you see something called "ntsysmgr.exe" or "sp.exe" do a windows search for it and delete it.

Edit: I am assuming you have WIN2K or XP

See.. I can't do control alt delete.. It closes the window as soon as it comes up..

Wait... .SCR?!

Go to display properties and select another screen saver...that should fix it.

SCR file = Screen saver.

If all else fails, press F8 when Windows is booting up and go into safe mode.

Then select another screen saver, and voila! It's fixed.

See.. I can't do control alt delete.. It closes the window as soon as it comes up..

from comand prompt:

tasklist -- views processes
taskkill/PID (PID#) -- kills a process

Screensaver isn't it..

Where is this command prompt??

 

[Descent]

Start -> Programs -> accessories -> command prompt

I had the exact same problem.

Just ctrl + alt + delete and then screen shot it. After that, ID the file name of the virus and do a system search on it. Delete all of the files by that name (It was like MXsomething, if I remember correctly). One of them will say "Cannot delete - currently running." The solution to that one is simple... ctrl + alt + delete and then end the task as fast as you can (took me about 15-20 tries). Then, delete the file (it's no longer running) and empty it from your recycle bin.

There you have it... the layman's, brutish-force way to fix a virus!

Start -> Programs -> accessories -> command prompt

start> run> type in cmd, or even faster windows key+R then type in cmd.

if you are searching the process list, it may also help to reboot into safe mode.

I don't think I can do it nosubstance..

junglizm.. tasklist command won't work in the command prompt..

it says "its not recognized as an internal or external command"..

edit: I did a virus scan and it didnt find anything.. Yet I know there is something wrong..

This shit is crazy.. It starts playing random songs.. It does crazy friggin stuff.. Argh..

junglizm.. tasklist command won't work in the command prompt..

i don't remember what other versions it works on. i know for a fact it works in xp pro, but it might have been left out of home. i'm pretty sure it works on 2k as well.

It works on my workstation. I run Server 2003 on it (It's configured as a workstation).

Have you tried changing your screen saver yet?

 

[betrayed]

The screen saver is still on "none".. I switched it to something else and switched it back.. Nothing.. I have windows xp home edition.. Its still not workin'..

 

[betrayed]

This spyware/adware/virus or whatever it may be likes to send AIM messages to random people on my buddy list as well..

EDIT: It also makes my mouse go in funky directions..

 

[Jung]

try kaspersky antivirus, it's the best commercial av i've found.

 

[betrayed]

Where can I find.. I seriously am having trouble coming to WTF.com to post, I can't search for something like another antivirus very easily.. Everything is super slow..
