A few days ago, I noticed some suspicious behaviour on my computer (excessive pop-ups and redirecting to other sites, mainly) and found that I had quite a lot of malware and Trojans. I scanned my computer first with Spybot (and later uninstalled it because it was starting multiple times whenever I started up the computer), then Malwarebytes and Avast!. Yesterday I did a thorough scan with both in safe mode just to make sure, and it appeared my problems were gone.

However, today I noticed that I'm still occasionally being redirected online, and my Automatic Updates will not turn on at all.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

That is not all of the infections you have, but it is the bad one.

This machine needs to be formatted.

This system is infected with a polymorphic file infector called Virut. Virut is capable of infecting all the machine's executable files (.exe) and screensaver files (.scr). However, the problem is that the virus has a number of bugs in its code, and as a result, it may misinfect a proportion of executable files and therefore, the files are corrupted beyond repair. As of now, security experts suggest that a format and clean install, or destructive recovery if you have an OEM recovery partition, is the best way to clean the infection and it is the best and safest way to return the machine to its normal working state.

Backup all your documents and important items (personal data, work documents, etc) only. DO NOT backup any executable files (softwares) and screensavers (*.scr). It attempts to infect any accessed .exe or .scr files by appending itself to the executable.

Also, avoid backing up compressed files (zip/cab/rar) files that have .exe or .scr files inside them. Virut can penetrate and infect .exe files inside compressed files too.

Recent variants also modify htm, html, asp and php files.

Do not back up to another machine, as it may become compromised. Burn to DVD/CD, or to an external drive which has nothing else on it, and which you can format should it happen to become infected from the backups.

Aw man, I hoping I wouldn't have to reformat. It seems like it really is very bad, though, so I'd better do that soon.

But thanks! At least I've learned about something new today. I didn't know about Virut before.

:thanks:
