Spyware/Viruses

[Kelvin742]

My virus program found these two things.

Adware-ISTbar.b
Adware-SideFind

My program can't delete, quarantine, or clean the files. What do I do?

most antivirus/antispyware programs cannot remove the spyware from your computer. Hijackthis is the only way that I found to be help. Download that program and post your log on one of the many hijackthis forums out there and the people there will help you remove any malware you have.

My firewall shows this program, prfmrt.exe. I clicked block access, but the windows keeps showing up. Later, I do it again, and the windows shows up a few minutes later, what do I do? It's the same with dsscxpnt.exe

If your Antivirus can't clean/delete it... go to SAFE MODE and try to do it from there.

by the way hijackthis is a good program and so is spybot search and destroy and there bolth free! not free trial there completly free
download Microsofts anti spyware its free if you have a bought copy of windows

I didn't really find Microsoft Antispyware that useful. But I do recommend hijackthis.. that's if you know how to use it.

I'm using McAfee and Microsoft's Spyware Beta. This is a problem, prfmrt.exe
