Virus problems. I really need help. Infected TEF.

May 27, 2011 - 10:33pm — Rutilus
I've been having troubles with viruses for a few days now. It started off as one that gave me a false spyware-removal thing, Windows Vista AntiVirus 2011 or something, and with Malwarebytes and RKill I removed it, although it came back several times when I restarted and such...
Then I got...I don't even know, a Trojan or something. And quarantined that.

I tried to run FeralHeart yesterday, and AVG said that it was infected with a virus, etc, so I quarantined it.

The same thing happened with TEF today. I quarantined it, then reinstalled, and the same thing happened.

Um. Help?

maybe try running your

maybe try running your computer in safe mode and then scanning for viruses? you could have a hidden one somewhere that's pretty stealthy or is attaching to programs and can't be removed normally.

There's a plan. How do I run

There's a plan. How do I run it in safe mode?

I'm also scared to restart because the last time I did, the virus that had hidden all of my files and given me the false anti-spyware thing came back despite me having just apparently removed it. D:

I think when you start up you

I think when you start up you hit F10, and you should have the option to run in safe mode. Check online first though. I could be wrong. just search for 'run safe mode'. >_<


edit: for the US version of windows, but it should work for yours.
