Hi, new to site, and not very computer savvy beyond the basics.
Trying to follow posting rules here, dont know if this is TMI,, or helpful for diagnosis.. let me know! Main issue is spyware/adware with redirect issue complicated.
On my Dell Laptop, working with wireless encrypted and wireless communication with printer, use Google (iGoogle) for web browsing a great deal. For past month have had problem with virus redirecting (via; unexceptionalsearchsystems.com and gooooodsearchsomething or other, you all will know these I think.) here are some specific things happening;
A) While my Facebook automatically loads (uses saved sign on information)on iGoogle,, Twitter does not. I have to manually click connect, and when I type in b to start my username.. it recalls my email address. I highlight my user name and enter, then my password is atuo-recalled as well. Normally the black dots of the 9 characters, would be just black dots. Now, there is an imperceptible blip of 9 fuzzy symbols, before they convert to the black dots. I have not opened once I noticed this. Could have opened many times with this happening however.
B) When idle, and an internet page is open, usually (after 15 min, and before an hour) a strange screen can sometimes appear, as if another webpage was opened by spyware.
C) Computer in general seems a little slower. noteably, there are strange pauses, and longer refresh times, slower typing responses, overall, more clumsy.
D) Computer is running much warmer /hot than normal.
D) My lower right icon tray used to have more items in it.. now sometimes I have things, and sometimes I dont. (such as Windows yellow shield for updates, speaker/volume control, ac/battery image.) Noteably, I would always have an indicator of my wireless connection as a symbol of a graph with green bars. Now the icon is a computer with soundwaves to right.
E) It seems like problems started with classic late night playing around, and downloading videos to Real Player and Real Time Player. I dont know how to "dump" the internet cache, or to clear temporary files for sure. ( I do know to go to "tools" and delete history, etc that way).
F) First steps was to try System Restore, both with programs and in safe mode, with my tech guy's help over phone. No luck here. went back quite aways, and tried maybe 8 times.
G) In last 4 days, I get repeated error window showing "Navcancl" and asking if I want to continue ..
H) During some work/actions I get repeated error window showing a warning with question to "continue blocking" the/a file or program trying to be used, or if indeed already in use.
I) When right clicking an icon, or item to perform functions such as; "delete, re-name, etc.." I get warning window saying
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" "Click OK to try again or enter an alterante path to a folder containning the installatiion package 'SYMANTEC ANTIVIURS.MSI' in the box below;" Box shows; "Use source:" and shows in window; "C:\Documents and Settings\Brad\Desktop\SAV\". A Second box is in the background with title of; Window Installer and in box area simply reads " Preparing to install.." with a button that offers "cancel". Normally, I just hit cancel on the first superimposed box, and then the regular gray vertical pane bar showing options to copy/cut/paste/rename/delete,, etc shows and I can select. Lately, the document/file etc may dissappear even tho the task works. When I click OK, it works, and then another error box "The path; C:\Documents and Settings\Brad\Desktop\SAV\SYMANTEC.ANTIVIRUS.MSI' cannot be found Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'SYMANTEC ANTIVIURS.MSI' in a folder from which you can install the product Symantec Antivirus
J) My (purchased) Norton Antivirus suite cannot open, and therefore no scans run. When I try to run the installer file, it tries to run and then; black screen "Norton Anti Virus 2012" "A problem has occurred that needs your attention: "Setup has found Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition or Symantec Client Security on your computer. You should uninstall it before continuing. If you are not sure if you should replace it, ask your network administrator."
K) My (purchased) Malwarebytes program no longer opens. I get prompt with title; "C:\ProgramFiles\Malwarebutes'Anti-Malware1\mbam.exe" with message; "Windows cannot access the specified deivice,path,or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".
My local tech guy, has tried to download Malwarebytes again, and we had issues with getting it to run at all. (same error as above; "Windows cannot access the specified deivice,path,or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".)
His advice is to perform an external hard drive backup, (I have in the meantime used MOZY and backed up all files), and then re-load operating system. I have never done this before, but understand I would gain some benefits like original speed, and a "virgin" system again. Worried about time/cost and of course the little things like settings, auto sign-in etc.
should I try to repair with help here, or should I just spend the money and time to re-load?? I am pretty good at following instructions, to run a log, or program or something. Thanks!
PS I have a dds log, but dont know how to insert/attach the zipped file here (!) also, ran the gmer scan, and it seems like the moment it finishes, it disappears , I mean Immediately - gone! cant save it.
