This virus is attacking my programs, where it MAKES THE .EXE OF THE PROGRAM DISAPPEAR, or move to the location of where it is being used (e.g. i try to open an image file with Nero PhotoSnap Viewer, but the 'PhotoSnap Viewer.exe' file appears in the folder of the image, and disappears from its Program Files\Nero folder, where its meant to be).

Runtime error messages keep popping up, and whenever I plug in my PSP (or other USB storage device), it comes up with this recurring message box (even if i click on 'cancel', or 'try again' or 'continue', it pops up 3 seconds later!):

Windows - no disk Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c

Also, when I connect to the Internet, my NetMeter shows my downloads and uploads (mainly uploads) go up (from 1 kb/s to 40 kb/s for both) like never before. I believe this to be uploading PC information and downloading more malicious stuff...

Futhermore, the screwed up programs come up with this icon:

which appears in the program's folder, or as the program's shortcut (desktop, start menu, etc.).

Look at how its affected my Resistry cleaner program:

i have already found these to be affected: Steam (can't play TF2!), COD4, SUPER, Glary Utilities, Nero, WinRAR, Java, GTA III, San Andreas Multiplayer, Azureus, Malwarebyte's AntiMalware... and possibly more i haven't checked yet!!!

Pleae help! it's even screwed up my Norton Internet Security!!! Even uninstalling and reinstalling it, it won't open properly and the AntiVirus just won't run!

My friend, you have the following issues right of the bat. You have virtual memory problems probably caused by bad sectors on the drive (that's your fatal exception error).



You have a Hijacker on your computer that has seized control over File Association.



You have some form of malicious code on the machine.



These are problems that you would spend more time and money on researching to fix yourself, or you can save time and money and take it to a shop. The hijackers must be removed, the host association program must be removed and association restored to all files. Then you gotta remove the malicious code from the registry and start up, then you have to run various scans to ensure the threat has been neutralized.

You need some pc security like Mcavee or norton.Get it installed.But first I would try starting your pc in the safe mode and doing a system restore on it.Restore it to a date before you think you got this virus.Then get you some antivirus protection installed quick.If the virus is still in it the spyware and anti virus can get rid of it for you.Good Luck

Use Malwarebytes antimalware suitable virus test ever unearths and destroys each thing i take advantage of it on absolutely everyone of my desktops and on each laptop that i artwork on i assure it is going to artwork, plus that's unfastened so no might desire to pay. sturdy success Oh and that i ended utilising limewire by way of viruses too i choose to propose utilising frostwire, it has no viruses yet is 10 cases quicker then limewire
