i CTRL-ALT-DELETE and checked what was going on and found no applications being run. i checked my processes and among all the stuff i have no idea about i found one that kept showing up. my CPU usage was up to 90-100% because a process called "iexplore.exe" would pop up on the list and take up about 50+% of the CPU the promptly dissapear. but then it would come back in a second or two. i figured what it it trying to do it make popups with links to virus/other bad things come up but i am assumeing that my computer is blocking them all (hense the reason it comes up then dies) every once in awhile one will get threw tho.
i started my usual panic of (fully updated) devices:
CWShredder
spybot search and distroy
McAfee virus scan
Ad-aware 6.0
McAfee found a virus called "exployte-bytevarafi" (spelling is wrong, it's from memory) and "startpage-DU"
i knew these where here as i have been unsecussful in removing them despite numrus tries. it also changes mt start page in internet explorer to :aboutblank and its a page filled with viruses and the like. since not having been able to remove this i changed my browser to firefox and never had a problem till now.
someone else had this problem too and i tried to follow the steps given to them but it did not work, i couldnt folloe them all as some of the things i had to fix/delete where not there. (http://www.geekstogo...EEXE-t7601.html)
i downloaded and used:
Del Domain
HostsFileReader
hijackthis.exe
i cant let the "iexplore.exe" go as i did with the other one. it keeps removing whatever im doing as the main page and it shifts back and fourth. i had to almost type this letter for letter as it keeps blinking one me (going from main page to not)
i cant use anything on my computer as it is like a thousand popups without a window coming at me. i cant even play my games. i fear a total reformat of my computer more than anything as there are things on here i can not lose.
well.. thats it. i dearly hope somone can help me.
