ok, on saturday, march 3rd, i was browsing the internet, i was watching a "video" and it said that it was not compatible with Windows Media Player, i should have been suspicious then, but i downloaded it anyway.

next thing i know the little bar in the lower right corner starts giving warning signals that say things like
"Sytem Alert! Malware has been detected!"
"High Risk!: Trojan Horse virus detected!"
Please, please tell me how i can get rid of this, i have tried everything, and no, i was stupid enough to not have a anti-virus program, except for Norton Antivirus, please, i need emergency help in getting rid of this!! please, i have learned my error in going to those "videos" and i need some really bad help in fixing my computer, i do not want to send it in for repairs unless i have to.
I NEED SOME HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, everytime Nortonantivirus starts, the virus shuts it down.

That sounds nasty indeed. Ok, there's a few things you can try out here :



1. Try to restore your PC to an earlier time (2nd March) using System Restore.



2. Get NOD32, install it, run your PC in Safe Mode and run an in-depth analysis from NOD32. It's the best antivirus software out there. (and get rid of that Norton crap !!).



3. If these steps fail and you have your OS CD, boot up your PC with the CD in the drive, reformat the hard drive, and reinstall your OS. *Warning* : this will cause you to lose your stored data !



4. Last resort : take it in for repairs. Explain what happened to the guy. He will most probably reformat your PC anyway, BUT ask him to get your data backed up from your HDD before formatting. That's the only advantage of taking it for repairs : you're data will remain safe.



Hope this helps and hope your PC is healthy soon !

I got the solution. Go to control panel>performance and maintenance>system restore. Restore the computer to an earlier time slot, say the day before. Once it is done, the program will no longer exist. It saves the trouble of having to reformat the hard drive.

Start up your pc in Safe Mode by tapping on the F8 key as it starts up. Then run your anti-virus software.
