Today morning an xfire friend ask my help with the same problem as you... This program helped for him, hope for you too. Good luck.
Wow, nice blast. Reminds me when a friend called me once, saying "hey man, help me out over here, I think my pc is messed up". Sure, so I went there and saw a screen like this:
YOUR PC IS INFECTED !!! YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING!!
Gotta say I LOLed and said to his brother,
"Maan, stop visiting those sites!!!" :p
I hope your pc'll be allright.

@Nico/Kir/Hidro: Thx for the link, ill download it just now
:whs: but i suggest Lavasoft Ad-aware , dont worry about those "trojans" it wont hurt your PC cause its only bodies of trojan , if you catch a full and real one believe me or not you will feel an effect ;)

I suggest you use a free online scanner like ESET. You can do the online scan by visiting this link: http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/
I usually run this scan at least once every two weeks. I really do hope you use this scanner. I can guarantee that this scanner will find all remaining infections on your PC.
What browser do you use? Are you using Firefox or IE? Hopefully you are using Firefox to surf the web.
I also suggest you get a software firewall like Zone Alarm. And also get a properly configured router.
Use F-Secure BlackLight. You can find out information about this software here: http://www.f-secure.com/en_EMEA/products/technologies/blacklight/ and you can download it here: http://www.f-secure.com/en_EMEA/security/security-lab/tools-and-services/blacklight/
Use HijackThis. You can get it here: http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/hijackthis
I also suggest you use Ad-Aware and SpyBot

you can try hitman pro (http://www.surfright.nl/nl/downloads/)
it's a dutch site but the program is English (i think xD)
it runs more anti-spyware programs after each other and it's completely free and a few years ago (i think it was 2-3 years ago) it was rewarded with the best anti-spyware there is in the netherlands (or even in europe i dont know anymore)
you can try this ;)
P.S. it takes a while untill it's finished ;)
Ok I have downloaded :software: all the useful anti-spyware that you guys linked to me, and I thank you for this :thumbsup:. Now I think my pc is clean , thanks again
The thread can be :lock:
