Hi,
I've been having a problem with my computer for the past few days. All of a sudden, I was notified by my antivirus software (ca antivirus) that I had "darksma" and "Vundo" viruses on my computer. After a full system scan that lasted about two hours, the computer was declared clean. I thought that would solve the problem; however, the computer has still been running slow and now, initial startup is very slow, a popup saying "Server is busy..." keeps coming up AND IT WON'T CLOSE WHEN I CLICK ON THE X BUTTON! In addition, Firefox is being weird in the sense that when i try to open it, it doesn't open at all. Sometimes, when it feels like it, it will, like right now. I have to keep restarting my computer if I want to use the internet.
if firefox decides to open, it has popups.
don't even mention Internet explorer! it won't work at all! I double-click on it and it doesn't load and freezes.
i think it MAY be due to a new virus that decided to rear it's ugly head: the SillyBHO.CJ virus. I dont know what this is, but my antivirus software detects it. the weird thing is that it says that it is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\iehelper.dll, but there is no such folder!! I even scanned system32 specifically, and nothing was found!
and a new thing just started as I was typing this: "Spyware Protect 2009 alert" this fake antivirus software keeps on coming up saying "protect yourself..." etc. it comes as a side popup and an annoying in-your-face type popup.
frankly, I am more than ready to fling the computer out the window.
can anyone please help me with deleting the SillyBHO.CJ virus? Please? Can you make it simple to understand since I'm no pro at computers?
Thank you!
