Yep, and my Norton AnitVirus fixed something like 7325 files that were infected but i still have 16 infected files and i get pops up and shit, tells me to download the latest software which i all ready have but it doesnt do nothing to the virus, Everytime i start my computer this thing pops up; Your Computer is infected! and then tells me to click here for the latest downloads for the software. The virus is like Trojan Horse or something like that or
Win v22, dont ask me how i got it. But how can i fix this? is there a way to delete it? I know you cant just delete viruses but ive seen people took apart thier computer and did something to it. any help?

try a system restore to a date before you got the virus. Then update your antivirus.

Back up your files, scan the backed up files, then reformat.

funnly enough i had this same problem today.
i kept getin pop ups like winfixer n other stuff, the way i got rid of it was to use system restore to get my comp back a few days, i sugest you do this same if all else fails

I hope you've learned a valuable lesson, norton antivirus sucks.

The "Your Computer is infected!" are you sure this is norton?

Because a lot of spyware does that kind of thing too, are you sure the window is from norton?

Screengrabs!

The answer to this problem is view your pr0n in a virtual machine, if it gets infected.. who cares!

It's called a Trojan, it's inside something that you may have downloaded, then infected the rest of your computer, hence the name Trojan.

If youre up to the task:

remove hd. install in another pc with up to date norton a/v.
scan, remove viurses.
install into another pc with up to date mcafee a/v.
scan, remove more viruses.
delete all temporary files.
delete random exes on root, C:\win c:\win\sys32, etc etc
delete bad dir's out of prog files
delete bad dirs out of user acct\application data
reinstall in machine.
go into safe mode
run adaware, spybot, clean all found. if finds modules/processes, write down
names then reinstall in another machine and manually delete the files.
clean registry.
run/clean w/ hijack this.
reboot in normal mode.
run counterspy, spysweeper.

should be good to go after that.

keep your antivirus up to date, stay off file sharing programs, use legal copy of windows (seems to be a problem with 'gamers'), stay off myspace, stay off porn sites.

then you got nothing to worry bout after that.

pretty much dont do things that 13 yr olds do.

With the addition of UBCD and a few extras pretty much, gives you much less hassle than what you mentioned above.

Run a virus scan in safe mode. (Press F8 as your computer is booting). I'd also recomend Microsoft Defender. It's free, it updates and scans itself. Set it and forget it.

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
