Virus on Windows ME

[Rach]

Righty, C-Girl sends this topic, as she cant post herself..she is having problems with her computer:

I went onto google looking for D12's lyrics to my band and clicked the 3rd/4th Link, it was yellow and loads of popups came up, then Zone Alarm popped up saying:

Do you want WMplayer to access the internet?

I didn't even open Windows Media Player!! And then MAY17_adloader.exe, 'This program has previously accessed the internet before' and they wouldnt close. Then a naked person came up and wouldn't close either then it said explorer has caused and error in user.exe, and my startbar wouldnt work, I couldn't open control panel and virus scanners kept asking for updates, I can't open IE without getting a window full of popups, no programs are working properly, Icons missing, Folders missing...

Sorry if that sounded a bit weird, I think shes a bit scared o.o Anyways, Help would be loved, before the computer dies completely

That's what you get for liking d12 ;o

Winme has system restore you can try that. You could also download ad-aware from another pc and try to install it to remove the nasty spyware. In safe mode you could use msconfig to stop any nasty spyware from starting at startup.

signs of lots of virus and lots of spyware

ok first go to the msconfig, if u can't go there go to regedit

in msconfig just for this problem uncheck everything on "start-up" tab (i'd tell u which one's to close but thats a lot of work)

restart the computer..

then i hope u have a anti-virus software, update it and run it.

then get spyware tools, billions of them.. 1 is not enough! seriously, 1 finds 1 thing other doesn't....

let it wipe every virus and spyware..

then u should be good to go after that...
