Hey guys its been a while since I've had to use this site , but it really works so I thought I'd give it another shot.


I've been infected with a virus, a pretty nasty one. There is a red "X" and when I click on it, it states that I have a virus and redirects me to download spyware virus removal. I never had this before and is annoying.

After about 30 minutes or so my cpu crashes by itself so this tends to be annoying.

I also downloaded hijack this and for some reason I cannot install this software.

I'm willing to go through the steps again to get rid of this nasty bug.

Thank you again.

You'll have to install HJT in 'Safe Mode'. That is all I can tell you. Please start a new thread in the Malware Removal Forums and follow instructions from a Malware Fighter from there. First try renaming the HJT installer to something else. If it does not work, try to install it in Safe Mode.
