just a couple links found with a wee bit of googling. Not sure if I'd trust their programs or not, but I think they're legit.

basically you're going to have to play around in the registry if you do it manually. BACK IT UP FIRST.

if your computers really f'ed up go to geekstogo.com and post a logfile of a program called hijack this.
i was hit with a virus a couple months ago and now my coms. back to normal,and uhh keys.....isnt that somthin to do with some system files or somthin? i wouldnt delete them. also you may want to use avg guard to clean up, it takes along time though.

just format your hard drive you pussy.

P.S: stop dl'ing newbie programs/porn, that way, you'll avoid getting a virus in the first place.


Also, after the format, get the following, and update them often:

Ad-Aware
Antivir XP

and

Regclean (this doesn't need to be updated.)

combine those three things with a decent firewall and common sense and you're pretty good.

Stop downloading Kewl Kursorz V. 99999.

Do a system restore to before the time when you got it. If you did that, you wouldn't have to try to remove it.

just search for it in your registry (start menu > Run > Regedit), you wont mess up your computer if you find the right folder, just gotta look around for a while, i used to have isttoolbar on my computer too, but regedit does the trick.

System restore slows your system down. Turn it off.

No. It's saved me from countless situations that otherwise would not have been solved without destructive reformat. It's an invaluable tool.

You're using IE? Yeah, you deserved a virus. Learn from your mistake, as it is not to late, and switch to Firefox :O

Carbo trying to be elitist is funny.

Firefox is good though.

I don't know if I'm allowed to switch to Firefox...It's the "family" computer even though I hog it the most XD...

Firefox dosen't blast IE into oblivion when you install it, you know.

Firefox is generally more secure.
