Hiya, its me again I was wondering if you can help with an antivirus. My laptop got infected I think by BEST-ANTIVIRUS2010, it is a keylogger from google and it keeps on telling me[i] My computer is infected(it shows all the virus I have) and that I should remove it by buying the MS Tool Removal[/i]

I have had it before and I downloaded kaspersky 30day trial to clean it but now I am without a virus for both my laptop and PC and it has infected my laptop. I tried going on the internet but it is very very slow and I think it disables my laptop's firewall anytime I turn it on.

Help, I was wondering if I can download an antivirus on my PC and put it on a USB stick to transfer on my laptop. Is that possible?

But help me first with a good Anti-virus. Cheers

I'm the master virus blaster . What you need to do is cleanse the laptop with Malware bytes anti malware before installing an antivirus. Dont buy any MS tool removal, it's an attempt to further compromise your system.

try this link
http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=malwarebytes&platformSelect=Windows&tag=srch%3Ba&searchtype=downloads&filterName=platform%3DWindows&filter=platform%3DWindows

it's called "malwarebytes" click the download and not the buy it. A yellow bar will come down click that and choose download

use another computer to download it on a flash stick and when you start your computer start hitting "F8" before you see the windows logo.
This will give you options as to how you want to login
choose: safe mode with networking
when it comes up install the program. Note that you have to be online so it can be updated
after the update do a quick scan or a full scan if you have time
when its done click show results
then click remove
restart your computer then you should be back to normal

Dawgzfada:

Pls help, i use a HP Dv6000. .twas working fine this afternoon and i was viewing a thread on Nairaland, and the next thing the laptop went off. Tried putting it on but it won't come on. The lights wont even blink at all. Also the only light that comes on is the blue light that indicates its charging (thru the charging hole). I removed the battery, plugged the laptop and tried putting it on but it still wont come on. I removed the Rams and resit them but it still won't come on.

Am at wits end here. .pls someone should help.

how do u define old? My laptop is a new model and it's barely 3months old. So its nt old. The money i woulduse to get a new one of such specs would be nearly times 3 of the cost of the motherboard.
I get all ya points. But i think i would make more money selling it as a whole rather than in parts. So if can change it then it would have more economical value. I was just looking for a trusted place to get the job done.

Deji,

I don't encourage wiping hard drives. I think the only time you need to wipe a computer is when you want to upgrade or change the OS. I have handled some badass virus in the past few months and I didn't even think of attempting to format the laptops. There are powerful tools these days to get your system back in tip-top shape.

The way I do it is scan with all these

Malwarebytes
superantispyware
hitman pro
combofix
Rkill
Spywareblaster


I have never seen any infected computer or virus that will survive all these attacks. Backing up an infected computer is a bit tricky, all the files backed up are already infected. That means you move infected files into a new install and thats back to square one.

This is just my own way sha.

dats my problem cos i've been trying to get one for a while now and it's not been succesful. If i do get from ebay, how then do i get to fix it?
And how do i get it from ebay?

Jeophri:

my laptop was under warranty, but I bought it in the US and the warranty only works in the US. So i had to transfer it over dere and get it fixed. That would take too long and cost a lot. If I had someone there, i mite have not got to the option of changing my motherboard.
So i had to change it here and undergo the cost and make it quicker. Cossending over will cost a lot and consume a lot of time.
My question is do u know any computer repair company who imports such. So when i do meet them, they can import mine and maybe fix it.
