Possible virus?

[roger04]

Hello guys,

My pc been acting a bit off lately. Sometimes I hear the 'tung' sound from the cpu(the sound at the moment right b4 the pc turns off). It remains on, but a bit jammy and slow. The memory seems to be used by not sure what because it doesn't match with the amount of prog open(and the RAM used). The problem can be seen clearly when I open "msconfig", the pc just restarts right away. But b4 that I managed to see some rubbish programs 'on the tick'.

Any idea what should I do? tq...

*I scanned with NOD32(updated) and found no virus.

*Also, now I see my computer is processing, I'm also seeing "ping.exe" on the task manager..

Have you tried running something like Process Explorer to see what is going in the OS with more detail? It's quite handy in trying to 'capture' something fishy going on.

Have you tried MSCONFIG in safemode? It certainly sounds like you have a virus.

Or one (or more) the many nasty spyware P.O.S. that are going round.

Have you been a good monkey, and kept your system updated?

Go to ewido.com and download the software. Update it but dont run it. Then go into safe mode, run the software and see what happens.

I've done that, but to no effect.

Now trying ewido.. is a good software?
