Need Help!!! (AntiVirus XP 2008) Solutions!!

Thanks to commenters my videos completely fixed now =] (probly better then before i got the virus) so now its more of a video to help people get rid or the virus

and if anyones wondering:

How (I) removed AntiVirus XP 2008 from my computer:
first off, i learned the uninstall feature it had when it found its way on my computer without my permission is useless and doesnt work no matter what. after hours of research i found a 100% free program (doesnt just scan and be like "oh and to remove te problems you need to buy me") called Spybot: Search and Detroy and i love (atm). it removed 90% of the problems and it really simple to use and install. after that i found a beter program called malewarebytes which complpetely removed all remaining problems (wis i knew of it before) i reccomend that one over spybot.

thanks to anyone who helped!!

does Spybot:Search and destroy lag down your computer, or only during virus scans, or neither? o_O

[Tylurnol]

spybot only runs when your doing a virus scan, buuut you can have it running all the time (i choose not too) i dont find it makes it lag but it notifies you whenever something in yourr registry is being changed, which is what this virus does (changes ur registry) so its a good idea to have it on... the programs pretty basic and my computers gettin pretty old and i dont find it makes my computer lag

this infection type is called "SmitFraud" download SmitFraudFix and you fix the problems with the computer

@jonafie123 A virus is a piece of software code it cannot damage pc hardware, yes it can wipe files from a system such as registry entries like hardware drivers, it cannot physically damage hardware.

In 17 years of internet use I have never used an resident AV program as I find they cause more problems than they solve.

AV company's basically prey on new users paranoia of becoming infected to sell their products.

A weekly scan with a program such as malware bytes or bitdefender will do, if you really feel the need.

Even if you are infected they are a fairly easy fix if you have a bit of registry knowledge.

@xxthedroughtxx Try and go to another computer and access the website. Then put the installation file onto a Memory Stick or CD/DVD. Go back to your computer and boot it up into safe-mode. Then open up my Computer, go the Memory Stick and then use the installation files. Job done!

Oh fuck, I now have this problem!

[jonafie123]

[jonafie123]

Hey, I know a cheap guy in the I.T field most of them just want to take your money but this guy pretty much is alright... :) He really works with you on your computer issues the company's number is (916) 821-5488 I think it's call Alpha tech or something like that... I like that he's honest but mostly serving SAC only right now I think only downfall I know of ;) Anyone needing help with their computer problems should check him out plus he REALLY reasonable btw the who help ME was like "Mike":)

When thats done. Check your msconfig (run > msconfig) to uncheck any weird programs or "no-named" startup programs. Also check Add/Remove programs to uninstall anything like: "Free blabalba" and "Internet Optimizer". In most cases these "applications" are less then 5MB and uninstall within seconds. What also helps is resetting Internet Explorer (if in use) via tools > internet options > advanced > reset (you can choose to lose all personal saved data).

And don't go to Geek Squad, they suck.
