Why Are Internet Infections Crippling My Computer But Not Being Recognized A Viruses?

   Adaware….spybot….get out of the nineties son.
   To protect yourself from malware, you have to have good protection (nothing is 100%)
   Get a good AV, and then get the pro version of MBAM, it’s only 25 dollars for a life time license.
   MBAM will keep you safe from rogue/fake AV programs, and the like.http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/mal…
   MBAM has a free version, but does not have live protection, only helps after your infected.
   As for a traditional anti-spyware program, use SUPERAntiSpyware, it’s free:http://www.superantispyware.com/
   Crapafee is a lame a*s*s AV, find another. Get rid of adaware, and spybot, use MBAM, and superantispyware.

   A virus does not affect a single user: it affects the operating system (which user accounts access); so abandoning one user account and making a new one will not get at the root of the problem (infected system files).
   “Chipset” installation implies a most serious compromise: well beyond the repair capacity of the software you cite. These are a bit more rare, but anything is possible when using Windows on the ‘Net.
   Unless you reform your entire approach to using the ‘Net, you can expect a ceaseless parade of these infections and marathon repair sessions.
   Look into a ‘dual-boot’ arrangement (Linux for the ‘Net & Windows in solitary confinement) if you seriously seek to break the vise-like grip of indentured servitude Windows imposes.http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/install…

   There are a lot of reasons this could be happening.
   The first is that your virus definitions are not up to date on the programs you are using. (i.e McAfee)
   The other reason would be that processes from the viruses are running in the background which are preventing your computer from finding the issue.
   Lastly, it could be the fact that McAfee and Spybot are horrible virus scanners.
   Try following the instructions below and let me know if that resolves your issue. (You might want to print, keep on another computer so you can follow along.)
   1. Turn on the computer and as it is turning on repeatedly hit f8 until a black screen with white writing comes up. At this screen use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select “safe mode with networking” and hit enter.
   2. After safe mode is done loading, login to your account and open the internet. If your internet is not working go to your proxy settings. This will be different on every browser, i.e chrome internet explorer and firefox. If your internet isn’t working post which browser you are using and I will post additional intructions.
   3. Once the internet is working you will need to go to cnet.com and download 3 programs.
   -1 rkill
   -2 malwarebytes
   -3 superantispyware
   Once you have downloaded these three programs, run rkill.
   Once it has finished running it should open a notepad file which you can close.
   Now open malwarebytes and go to the update tab.
   Make sure the virus definitions are up to date. Once this is done go back to the first tab and select the option for a full scan.
   Once the Scan is complete make sure all of the viruses are checked and select the option that says remove all selected. It will then ask you to reboot your computer and you should say yes.
   Now turn your computer back on in safe mode the same way you did the first time.
   Run rkill again and close out of the notepad file.
   This time open the free version of superantispyware and make sure the virus definitions are up to date. Once this is done perform a full can and when it is done just click remove or whatever the option is to get rid of the viruses.
   Once again it will ask you to restart and this time you can let it start as normal and everything should work fine.
   Hope this helps. Here are links to the 3 programs.

   malwarebyteshttp://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-An…
   superantispywarehttp://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpywar…
   And don’t forget all of these programs are completely free, so this fix won’t cost you anything.
