This is a Malware Removal guide for XP Home or XP Pro:

Enable viewing of hidden files, system files and file extensions

Some programs hide themselves by making their files invisible in normal Windows settings.

Not doing this would allow file extensions commonly used by trojans and spyware to be hidden, for example a file ending in .exe or dll making manually

finding it, if needed, difficult to impossible. To do this go to My Documents and click on the Tools menu and then click on folder options. Click the "VIEW"

My download speed dropped and i need help?

my original download speed was 600kb/s. now its a rough 65kb/s. i have Comcast. i used mcafee but i figured that was the issue and uninstalled it. that didnt fix my problem. im using avast right now and is till have slow speed. streaming videos from youtube has also gotten slower for me too

i called comcast up and thy said my modem is fine. im not on a router either. they said they can send a technician over but if its my problem (computer) i'll be charged. can anyone give me tips to see if this can be my computer's fault?

and RAM shouldnt be involved in this as my friend has the same RAM as me (512) and his speed is still good. every program: limewire, utorrent, and direct downloads, are all slow now... this really pisses me off.... i've delt with this for over 3 months and now i cant deal with it so can anyone please help?

My download speed dropped and i need help?computers

it's pretty well documented that comcast has recently been throttling p2p traffic as soon as it's detected. mostly with bittorent file transfers and seeding but the others are effected too.

the two main ways to get around this is FORCED encryption and randomized ports. easy to set on utorrent. i don't know about limewire and napster like protocols.

Do you have a enough bandwidth? Best Buy has bandwidth on sale for $9.99 a square foot.
well, sometimes when you go over your download limit, your broadband company will sometimes choke your download speed or charge you extra per mb you go over.

that's your problem, wait until the next month and you'll have your broadband back to full speed!
depends on the seeders?

sometimes u have to increase the upload speed either so that your download speed will increase. u should be grateful that it runs 600kb/s. In my country, the max it runs is 50kb/s. :(

I have another unremovable virus?

i had posted a query for anti-virus software a couple of days ago when i got a really bad one, it had come from downloading what was supposed to be an activeX for watching a video, my question was answered by some very helpful people who told me that 'superantispyware'(SAS) and/or 'smitfraudfix' was the solution, the combination worked, and all the infected files have been removed save one, but now there is another problem, whenever i search anything in my IE or Firefox google toolbars in the top right, half of the time it return search results for 'sex' i scanned my computer thoroughly using uptodate avast and SAS, and it is clean, i deleted firefox, cleared all temp files, downloaded and installed a newer version from a new setup file, but still the problem persists can you please help me, if the people who helped me earlier have more suggestions, i would appreciate it

I have another unremovable virus?download

I use AVG, Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. It is always good to have a mixture of programs because while none are perfect, you can keep your system clean with a few. The ones I use are all free.

If you go to the web site of your computer, put in the model number and product number, it will give you the drivers for your computer to download.

Are either working outside of windows? Can you enter the bios?

Try booting in safe mode? (press f8 after POST before windows loads) If it doesn't work, try pugging in a different type of keyboard or mouse.

Mouse and keyboard are plug and play, and don't really need an external driver.

What's the best virus protection?

I have avast now and it stinks please help.

What's the best virus protection?ducati

Symantec AntiVirus is best. If anything does somehow get by, it send you a report. You can have it quarantined so it can't duplicate itself anymre, or just deleted. Or deleted after you put it in quaranine.

Doesn't take a lot of memory either. Norton takes a ton and is like a big virus itself. It makes the computer a lot slower and takes a long time for PC to start up while Norton is running. Takes A LOT of space.

Norton Anit-Virus 2007
In the computer lab in my school some computers running Panda AV, Norton 2007 AV and AVG free edition got infected by a worm spreads via flash memory, the existing AVs didn't detect it. Booting from a rescue disk failed too because all the systems formatted with the NTFS file system. I have McAfee ISS on my home pc and it detected the virus on one of my students' flash memory "w32 Generic Downloader ". Just installing kaspersky from a cd on the infected systems has neutralized the virus even it infected some windows programs like spoolsv.exe, msconfig.exe and others.

From my experience I recommend McAfee and Kaspersky and I read articles on the internet claiming that they have the highest detection rates. Nevertheless, I'd like to hear about other good AV programs around from the users perspective.
Search "AVG Free" in Google, and click the first website that comes up. Download it...it is free and it works great! Also, if you want a super fast computer, download some spyware remover.

It is probably not a virus or you antivus would have taken care of it.

You could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To:

start

programs

accessories

systems tools

system restore

This process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.

You may need to reinstall any recent software programs, but it is a quick fix when you dont know what else to do.

Some malware has disactivated my antivirus?

Hello! I hope someone can help me.

Something has disactivated my antivirus (AVG 7.5, Spybot Search and Destroy and Norton AV 2005, as well as Zone Alarm firewall) so that I can't reinstall them. I've also tried to install Bit defender 10 and Avast to try to find that virus or troyan, but I just can't install any. SuperAntispyware, which I also use, detects some threat but the computer reboots with an error before being able to finish the scan. And Ad-aware just detected some low risk tracking cookies I could delete.

I can't start windows on safe mode or connect to the internet (neither the wi-fi nor the router cable directly - windows can't start WZC).

I formatted the laptop last week... so I'm not doing it again :'(

Yesterday I got Norton saying I had a Downloader virus, but it was supposedly deleted.... I guess not.

Please help!!

Some malware has disactivated my antivirus?free adware remover

I think all those antivirus are conflicting with each other. You can only have one AV installed at a time and your AVG 7.5 is gonna conflict with your Norton for sure, not to mention when you brought Avast *and* Bitdefender into the mix... all of your resources are going into family feud here with nothing left to run the computer!

Is that Norton 2005 still active and updating? If it isn't, axe it!
