Computer Viruses Help?

Question

I've been posting somewhat regularly about viruses and I am here to see if I can get any more recommendation and aid on my computer viruses. The reason why there is such a large text is because I didn't give enough information any all. I'd appreciate if you read all of it.

So lately, I have been on a sketchy site. I guess I was stupid and unaware of the potential attacks. I use the AVG Anti-Virus and I run at least twice each day to see if there is any viruses. Unfortunately, the Anti-Virus detected approximately 600 weird items. This number for some reason varies from 600 to 400, usually detecting 600 files. This really shocked me since a few months ago, AVG only had detected around 7 or 13 obscure files. The number has been jumping a bit, and its been getting me worried. I don't know if its physiological or anything, but the computer has been running weird and somewhat slower than usual. I have an Asus G74SX laptop and it is almost a year old since I have purchased it. Its an expensive laptop and I don't know what alternative I should take since I am on a tight budget.

Some of the files are that AVG detected vary. I always run the same preferences for scanning which is:

Heal/Remove Virus Infections
Report Potentially Unwanted Threats
Report Enhanced Set Of Potentially Unwanted Programs
Scan For Tracking Cookies
Scan Inside Archives
User Heuristics
Scan System Environment
Enable Thorough Scanning
Scan For Rootkits
All File Type Scanning
Report Password Protected Archives
Report Password Protected Documents
Report Locked Files
Report Files Containing Macros
Report Hidden Extensions

Some of the files that AVG detected are:
"Locked file. Not tested" C:/ProgramData
"Locked file. Not tested" C:/hibefil.sys
"Locked file. Not tested" C:/Perflogs/
"Locked file. Not tested" C:/Documents and settings
"Contains Macros" C:/Program Files (86x)/
"Contains Macros" C:/Windows/Installer

This list goes on for a while so some of the files that AVG detected were SysWOW74, Downloads, AVG20, System 32, ServiceProfile, Audit, Prefetch, PLA, Panther, ModernLogs, LiveKernel, AppCompat, Public, UpdatusUser, Templates, PrintHood, NTUSER, System Volume, Pagefile.sys, etc.

One of the things I don't understand is that, it never reported locked files. Even though I checked them it didn't show them before I entered the sketchy website. Before the website, AVG scanned only 13 threats. Now it is up to 400 - 600 threats though I used same preferences for clean inspection. Another thing that I noticed is that AVG usually tells you that your computer has sped up by a percentage. Before the website entrance, I used to get like %110, %114, or %132 computer speed boost or something like that. Now it is %43 speed boost. All this is really confusing and I am certainly not the computer expert. I just know that a few files were not able to be scanned because they are locked for some reason. They weren't locked before, but now AVG is telling me that they are. I have other anti-viruses but I don't really use them. They don't give me any reports like AVG does. I am debating whether I should uninstall them since people always tell me that they can interrupt each other and actually slow your computer down. Also, after some hours after entering the malicious site, my game log-ins have been really choppy and weird. It doesn't smoothly flow the moving pictures.

Much appreciated to those who read it, and more to those who give a thorough answer.

Answer 1

You should be scanning in safe mode, select with networking, so you can download and install Malware Bytes, let it update definitions and scan. safe mode is a selective start up and most infections are still dormant and easier to remove. Tap F8 on bot up to get into safe mode unless otherwise specified. If running AVG free it has no firewall so use the one in control panel or a third party one such as Zone Alarm.Once scan is complete you remove all the found infections and restart you PC. You can do several scans , it won"t hurt. You can also try a System Restore to prior this happening. System Restore in Windows 7 is a very powerful tool and has the potential to remove infections. Worse case scenario is to format the drive and if you don't backup all personal data is lost.

Answer 2

iv had that before a long time ago ,and a format does the trick but i guess that is last resort,id go to kaspersky and get a virus removal tool (not entirely sure of the name),it does a deep scan of ur system and maybe be able to scan ur locked files,but if that dont fix the problem(or for some reason u can run it)then id suggest u back up ur data and format

Answer 3

definite definite definite a working laptop or malicious application not something yet Codes Generated using Any Programming Languages. it is the two Malicious Code Or Executable document. In Case of Codes they're linked With yet another information document(s). Executable data Infect The device whilst carried out with or devoid of consumer interest. As suggested in the past Viruses Are not something yet laptop classes/Codes. they are able to DO something to wreck YOUR laptop. wish It enables... Thank for analyzing until finally end... :) (y)
