its gotten so a delextra.exe screen opens up and makes a ringing noise with weird chinese looking script running on a black background

how do i fix ??

 

[Sandchairs]

well LOL u got a virus..
a simple solution is to get AVG its free

EDIT: if u have heaps of time on ur hand write down the exe name, kill the process in task manager, and search you computer for it and delete it.

 

[fernando]

avg or ad-aware.

if you know the name of the .exe file search for it and delete it

Reformat

Reformat

This should be your last resort.

Do not just reformat your computer.

Just download AVG delete. Also download, adware, spybot and Windows Defender.

Run all those, restart and it should be sweet.

i keep killing it in task manager but it keeps coming back
i've searched and deleted from c drive but it keeps coming back
i d/l spybot but i dont think it picked it up
i d/l AVG but it wont install, i tried about 3 times and it still wont install

Okay.
This is a direct link for you to download them and install.

AVG

Spybot.

Adware
http://www.adwarealert.com/index.php?hop=advanced99&p=3&gid=1072645447&oid=&aid=&gclid=cpl789-z35icfrpoagodhefp-a

Windows Defender.
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

Download and install them seperate.
One of them should work.

I would advise you to update every one of them. As it will help it to find your virus.

Is your computer on safemode?

 

[chicky_pie]

I'd suggest you back up all your important files before doing all this!!

 

[goony]

Well, if you know which processes are the source of the virus, just google the name.

Of course, you can run an anti-virus proggie and see if it works. There are specific guides to removing certain types of viruses though.

umm i dont even know what is/how to get into safemode

michael1990 your awesome, im currently d/l and installing adware
goony i will probably try that next

with spybot when it pops up with the message that a registry has changed, what does that mean ?? do i accept or deny ? the help section is pretty brief on that

edit: nevermind, i think spybot got it anyway

 

[Evilo]

Safe mode - http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htm
AVG - Links above

Learn to have a virus scanner and a firewall, there are plenty of shareware and cracked firewalls around. Don't download heaps of shit (that is not from a good site) off the internet, and dont accept attachments on msn etc.

tbh i thinkyou deserve to have your comp reformatted.

 

[Evilo]

EDIT - from memory i hit F8 when starting up my comp - then it asks me to boot
normally, safe mode, safe mode with networking, <something else>, then last known configeration" - just use the arrow keys to select "safe mode" then press enter.

 

[*hopeful*]

spybot says spybot has detected an important registry entry that has been changed
category :browser change etc etc and then accept or deny change at the bottom
??

i have no important files as i just got my comp back from being fixed from Harvey Norman and they completely cleaned it out

 

[*hopeful*]

adware costs money to delete the virus files ??!

according to it i have 200+ bad files including backdoors, trojans and worms
so is it a good idea to put credit card details and register and adware ??

 

[icraig88]

avg is free.. use that.
