What’s wrong with my laptop now?
Posted by admin | Under fixing erectile dysfunction Sunday Jan 24, 2010My anti virus protection shut down a year ago, and really..I’ve been fine! No pop ups, no viruses, nothing..It was rare that I would get a pop up saying that my computer was infected and needed a scan, but I just assumed it to be a phishing link or something. I Have a fujituso laptop I downloaded over 1000 songs, and none of them have given my computer problems. I can’t remember anything I did that could have provoked this. It’s 5:31 now..At 2:30, and I record this time because I was using the computer.. Out of nowhere, I get this Antivirus software alert on the side of my computer that says
"infiltration alert: Your computer is being attacked by an internet virus. It could be a password stealing attack, a trojan- dropped or smaller. Details: Attack from: 160.172.217.50 port 40882. Attacked port: 16820. Threat: BankerFox.A" It asks if I want to block this attack. I keep clicking no, but it keeps popping up..
The last time I clicked yes, a lot of pop ups came up that automatically shut down my whole computer within seconds..This isn’t the only problem..
A spyware alert pop up that just won’t go away, and won’t move keeps coming up telling me my computer has been infiltrated. Also, the most annoying pop up that won’t stop is a security warning that says "Application cannot be executed. The file googletalkplugin.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?"
Then the windows security centers popping up, but I can’t activate my anti-virus without buying it. But that’s the thing. I can’t buy it. I can’t pay any money, its expensive. It want’s 40 dollars! My parents would be pissed if I bought it.
What the hell is going on? How do I fix this? Grr!! Also, Although I USE firefox only, Internet explorer webpages keep popping up. They’re advertisements for Viagra and some website called PORN.com, and some erectile dysfunction crap.
I’m trying to back up my files, but it’s taking a very long time, and I don’t know how much time my computer will last before shutting off like it did before. I don’t want to send it in to someone yet, as my computer is STILL on, and is still capable of being turned on. At first, I’d just like to examine the situation, and see if its possible for me to fix this myself.
Please help me. I can’t stand to have my hard drive wiped again.
Um..You dont really give me a specific answer..Just download two programs..That’s all I understand
It didn’t "shut down". My trial expired..
I have it installed, and I renamed the malware antivirus protection, but it wont open..
DON’T PAY FOR THE ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM BEING OFFERED TO YOU. IT’S A SCAM! Your computer is definitely infected by malware already. Can you still download programs from the internet? If so, get Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware. Rename the file to something else like x.exe and then run it. After installation, scan your computer to remove that malware.
Take note: You will need to rename the MBAM program to something else before you can run it because the malware that you have knows about MBAM and it will prevent you from installing it. If you can’t do this in normal mode, boot to safe mode and do the installation and scanning from there.
run malwarebytes
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Also run ccleaner very regular to delete your browsing history

Also if your using 1e7 or 8 goto internet options and tick ”delete history on exit”

You really should get an anti virus, without it you are asking for trouble.
Luckily you do not need to buy one, there are free ones available, visit download.com then navigate to anti viruses to get something like AVG or Avast. They offer free protection without the likes of malware protection.
For free malware protection there are also free options, again, same site look for this.
Do not get and run two anti viruses like someone else said (they conflict with each other) but you can run more than one malware software. For free firewalls I go with Outpost.
You can always download one month trials for internet protection or protection suites to test them out and they are generally better than the freebies and I suggest you do this, though I don’t myself :0.
For a full suite of software try Esset’s at around a few bucks more than a lot of anti virus packages.
If you have in the past been not buying protection for your computer whereas buying games and so on for a similar price you really had no excuse and this is pretty much what you get, but like I said there are free options that work extremely well.
