Answer 1

in safe mode F8 run malwarebytes anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware,and what they find you

delete it manually. then run ccleaner to cleand your pc, and mvregclean, to clean registry.

what mvregclean find you remove because the key is there but not the file ,folder or program.

even you reformat and it finds anything remove dont be afraid.

Answer 2

Well that's one of the worst you can get. Sinowal infects a PC's Master

Boot Record (MBR), the first sector on a hard drive, where it's invisible to ordinary antivirus agents.It is the most advanced and stealthiest malware seen so far. None of the anti-virus software will remove it.

If your PC is infected, Sinowal removal tools developed by a few security vendors may be able to help you. The bad news is that even the best tool can't be 100% effective against a threat that's evolving as quickly as this li'l terror

I'm giving you links to anti-rootkit tool the first one is easy to use but isn't as good as the second one. Gmer the second is for experienced users read the documentation carefully Use AT your own risk. To be honest with you the only way you can be sure is to reinstall Windows.

Here's some more information on your infection and none of it is good news.

Answer 3

it's possible you might have got hit with spyware.ispynow. this happened to many people last night including myself, around 18:30EST. it took me a while to figure it out... you'd know if you got something like this



http://www.spywareremovalblog.com/remove...



for some reason, the anti-virus programs out there are having a hard time finding it, but you can possibly find it on your PC by looking here:



C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Google



the file should be 5 letter, 7 digit code, accompanied by the "windows firewall" icon. mine was: ggqjh225xxxx.exe (i forget the other digits). the popular ones seem to be: runhh6110411.exe, and: xtgoj6119471.exe



to delete the file you will have to reboot in "safe mode", then go to the address above and delete the file. no anti-virus software required.



hope this helps. i know a lot of people have been burned by this today.

Answer 4

Do you have virus protection software? You should run it...



If you don't your mistake was that you didn't have virus protection in the first place.



If I told you that my friend got AIDS and then he wanted to get protection afterward. Do you think that would cure him?



Why would you think that your computer could be cured by getting protection now? It's possible, but unlikely if you truly had a bad virus.



The great thing about computers, is you can always wipe your computer clean and start over. Unfortunately you can't do that with people

Answer 5

There are plenty of good softwares sold in "Staples" and "futuer shop", such as kaspersky, norton, etc, but most of them will ask you yearly to buy a newer version each year.



But for a free downloable program, I'd recommend "Spyware Doctor".

Go to a search engine and type that name down. You'll find some sites that offer it.



On a unrelated note, you should change your yahoo avatar pic; some people easily type in info about it that you don't need.

Answer 6

I have the same thing. I don't think it is Sinowal though. If your computer asks you to enable protection and it brings you to a site to purchase a removal tool then its a adware and not sinowal. If you think you have real sinowal go to the microsoft site and download the malicious software removal tool http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ad724ae0-e72d-4f54-9ab3-75b8eb148356&displaylang=en

however, if the ad is still there for the software saying then you know you have adware and need something else...http://forums.techguy.org/malware-removal-hijackthis-logs/776217-sinowal-trojan.html check out the link and see if its the same problem.

Answer 7

Norton antivirus is the best

it wipes out anything, i trust it so much. It finds anything infecting your comp from tracking cookies to trojans with just a simple scan.

I think it's totally worth every cent :)

Answer 8

google sinowal trojan and it normally gives you anti virus software you can download for free. but make sure its legit!!!

Answer 9

Try avast! you get a free 60 day trial
