I'm not angry at Spybot S&D, but rather I am mad at the fact that these people who have all this equipment and knowledge and all they do is prey on other people's computers. I don't understand why they can't just go away, why do they need more? Why can't they just let us live our lives?
Anyway, I dl'd Spybot on my brothers PC, which he uses mainly for 2 purposes, to read/sell/look up comics, and to check his mail, he's rather technologically retarded, and he doesn't download anything. He just surfs and then goes to work or bed, not the kind of guy who goes surfing around on pornographic sites and such. I scanned a whole bunch of times and found Sitfraud and Virtumonde. And then while we were working on his basement one day we heard a tv commercial or something pop up and we both ran into his computer room to find pop ups on the screen. Spybot said it had fixed the problem. Apparently not.
Everytime I scan I kept getting the same thing. Then, another day, I'm on his desktop and the MS-DOS prompt flashed a couple of times, in which I became very concerned so I unplugged him from the Internet, and ran Spybot, scanned and removed, rebooted in Safe Mode, scanned and removed, and then did that a couple more times, until it stopped popping up. Now when he uses his internet no pictures load or anything, and I'm thinking of either taking the computer to Geek Squad for a wipe of his system, or, restoring his comp to long before this started happening. Can anyone help/explain any of the problems I described and tell me how the heck to get rid of Virtumonde and Smitfraud, and how those 2 trojans would get on his computer.
