I am currently having some problems on my computer, every time i connect to my WiFi my computer starts getting realy laggy and when i am on Firefox new tabs open with random commercial sites, happens even on Firefox portable and internet explorer, and every now and then i keep getting fake antivirus with fake alerts installed onto my computer when i am in safe sites like youtube, and also i dont seem to be able to use web search as google or bing, when i click on each results other random sites open but the suposed ones wont and when i search imiges only a few like 12 show and the rest of the page is blank, but this began only on google and then on bing after i started using it.
This began mostly after i got rid of Windows Security 2012 by using iExplore to stop it, and Malwarebytes to remove it.
I also tried closing every program and running cmd, and used netstat -ano to see witch programs were using the internet and one svchost.exe out of six showed up established, i tried ending its process but it keeps coming back with a different PID.

If anyone had any problems like this and was able to solve it, or if you have an idea solution or suspicion please help me.

It does sound pretty serious,I'm no computer genius but have you tried running a boot time virus scan?

I have had nuicance programs on my comp before and a friend of mine had to come round and sort it out for me as it was hiding away somewhere.If I could remember what he did I'd tell you.Hope you get the help you need,it really baffles me as to why the people who create viruses don't use their talents for more constructive uses,they're obviously very clever and it's such a waste.I suppose it's a geeks version of pulling wings off a fly on a massive scale. :(

EDIT I know it's probably the last thing you wanted to do but I reckon ipod's answer is the safest way to go.BE SURE TO SAVE ANY PERSONAL FILES YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE FIRST THOUGH

you need to check your lan settings



open Internet Explorer, go to tools, internet options, connections, LAN settings and make sure use proxy server is UNCHECKED, save and exit



if use proxy server is checked, then you may still be infected. this is malware, not a virus. your router is not infected and no one hacked your computer.



this gets most bugs: its free and safe



restart your computer

tap the F8 key until it asks about safe mode

go into safe mode with networking

be patient, its slow

download rkill, this is an app that will stop trojans and allow your other tools to work its free, its safe

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/rkill

Run rkill, a command prompt appears and goes away, a log appears, keep running it until this happens. The trojan will try to block your first attempt in some cases.



download malwarebytes, its free, its safe

http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html

install, update, let it run a full scan

save the log

look at the log

see if it has infections and see if they were removed



run a full scan with your antivirus

let it delete all it finds

or use this online scanner. its free, its safe. download the packet and run it

restart





hope this helps
