Firewall and Antivirus No Longer Working

Cronic · Jan 29, 2009

As of today, my computer has either had a massive malfunction or it is infected with a bad virus. I am unable to start my firewalls and my avast resident scanner is unable to start, and if i run an explorer program too long it t6urns non responsive. although malwarebytes just detected a rookit and i removed it. lol ill see if that solved the problem but any input is helpful. Last thing i did was downloaded a few songs from limewire last night. Restarting now, ill post in a minute if it was resolved, in which case this thread was useless lol

Agreed. A new format is good every once in awhile anyways.

I just cleaned up a system a few months ago, same same downloading from limewire, but it was a trojan that I had to do a very specific process and get a special exe to wipe it out.
But it's charistic was lots of pop ups, and system very slow, are you gettign any pop up's/

best of luck!

No popups yet. it just runs slow, and i cant use windows explorer

I've used limewire before, it blows hard.

try safe mode?

Cronic · Jan 30, 2009

ya i tried safemode, and it has the same results. I cant install kapersky because it causes windows explorer to close. Im running a full scan on avast and ive already run a full malwarebytes scan to no avail

Choose better thread titles in the future, it's not hard. "Help me" Is not a very descriptive thread title. You actually get more responses if you spend a minute thinking of a good thread title then screaming for help. If people glance at the thread title and say, "I might be able to help with that" they're more likely to read your thread.

Please re-read the Forum Guidelines.

download and install malwarebytes anti-malware and run it.

Thank you all for the help. After trying every anti-virus possible and not finding any serious virus's, i decided to look elsewhere. It was apparently hard disk errors/bad blocks which were located in hd % sectors 17 - 25. Reinstalling windows has helped that problem, and if any1 knows a good program to use plz msg me. Once again thanks for the help and advice for future threads
