pcock Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 my flatmate used my laptop for a day, and now ive got that spyware where random words online come up as links, and i get random blanked popups because adblock blocks the ads but they still appear. ive tried a few free virus removals but nothing is getting rid f it. also how the poo do i change my avatar, ive looked all through the menus, the option just seems to have disappeared.

Friendly Foil Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Boot up your machine in safe-mode and scan with Malwarebytes. Or did you already try that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest disparaissant Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 gET a mAC lOl also, inexplicably, the option to change avatars is now called "change photo." it's the first option when you click "my settings." makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR4 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 what everyone said here, malwarebytes, adaware, spybot, the full shebang. Oddly enough Google.com has been freezing my computer up everytime it returns search results and Ive been going insane trying to figure out the problem. I could swear theres a virus in here somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioblysk Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Tell your roommate they are a cunt and shouldn't have looked @ porn on your laptop. I used to run a little business in high school where I'd fix peoples fucked up computers. 98% of the viruses/trojans/malware/spyware/dreaded virtumonde I saw on their computers came from porn and downloading said porn. The other 2% of the baddies were from faulty torrents and e-mails. I used to have fun re-naming random porn I found on hard drives to 'shame' and 'grandpa's birthday video'. Fucked up, innit?

Schlitze Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Malwarebytes tends to beat trojan's asses with a baseball bat. I had some real trouble getting rid of all the adware shit from that ghastly browser crippling iLivid trojan about 2 months ago. Eventually realised i had to go into Chrome settings disable it.

mcbpete Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yep MBAM and the highly dodgy sounding (and even more dodgy looking website) Superantispyware ran in Rescue Scan should do you a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlemflolia Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Forget AV do it yourself manually Download Sysinternals "Autoruns" Remove all suspicious autorun object http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx Use HJT http://download.cnet.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10227353.html Same as above gl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 If the OP is having issues setting an avatar on here, the thought of using Autoruns and HJT to modify registry entries manually is probably more dangerous than the malware itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
