Avast- Same one keeps reappearing- it's obviously not deleting. Getting a pop up ever few minutes...folder in C: WINDOWS isn't appearing...wtf do I do
Which one?
You could try running avast in safe mode, but if it were me I'd be backing up everything about now, and format it.

do u know wat type of virus it is? like does it give u pop ups? or do u thinik its stealing ur credit card info? is it doing anything?
i had that once to...
Avast never worked well for me , what little horsey or fish bait do you have ?
Get Avast to do a boot scan.
Avast might have the stupidest interface ever (wtf is Eject doing on an AV scanner anyway?), but it has boot scan That's like, better than Safe Mode.

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
Definitely go into safe mode and sort it out. This trojan is most likely camping out in your RAM, so you'll need to go into safe mode to get rid of it. If Avast won't work, take a note of all the specific exe's or dll's that it finds, and go through the registry to delete them individually. BUT MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DELETE ANYTHING ELSE.
Remember Me As A Time Of Day
It's command...fucking ads...I downloaded SpyHunter3 and it got rid of like a ton of viruses avast didn't find...but everytime I try deleting command.exe and (buncharandomletters).vbs it says it must restart first. Log on...still there....orignally why I bought the program...I will try safe mode.

maybe buy some good av protection....or crack norton like i did .......
Avast labeled it as a trojan/worm but it's adware.
1st, Get hold of AdAware, and SpyBot aswell as avast - they all do differently good jobs at cleaning out different things, so you're best running all them over it.
2nd, run them in safe mode (or boot scan, where available).

That is definately not a good sign. Backup what you need, then what you want. Then reformat.Noobpatty wrote:

You know you have a trojan, and can't get rid of it. Unfortunately the only option left would be a reinstall of windows.
I would try safe mode but my parents did some shit so I can't get into it...I would upload pics but photobucket was being gay and not accepting my password.

Leave it for a while like that. Safemode shows all that stuff, and usually waits for a while at a point before loading Windows.
looks like something is wrong with your HDdoug1988 wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
And once you reformat be a bit more careful with your parents PC in future.

yah if it's increasing in size you have a big problem and eventually your hard drive will break/ be full. reformat and be careful of what you back up. You don't want to back up a virus no ? Anyways good luck and karma your way to ease the pain a little.
