My computer is messed up

Well this is a duplicate of a topic I made in the SuperNova forums.
Anyway, let me just copy and paste what I said.

peterkap wrote:

yikes  It seems that it can't go online minecraft, use xat, or tinychat. My internet won't let me login into some websites such as yahoo.
....What's wrong?

Here's another post for more info.

Could you post instead of editing my post? It makes it easier to see if you answered... Anyway, what program and also what happens when you try to do Minecraft and sign into xat and Yahoo?

My mistake. I clicked edit instead of quote.

When i try minecraft:
It just doesn't connect.

When I try to sign into xat:
It takes forever to load then, it says lost connection.

When I try to use yahoo and go to sign in page:
The page takes about 3 minutes to load, then google chrome says connection reset or something.

Hamachi won't connect either.

It seems the blockcraft server won't connect to the internet, and also this started just today. I don't remember what I installed. The last thing I installed was Stencyl, and the internet was working fine.

(This is all from the SuperNova forums).

Re: My computer is messed up

Right, i can rule out a few Rouge Anti-Viruses.
Try a virus scan. If it comes up with Trojan.Zlob, you have a rouge.

Re: My computer is messed up

It's probably either a virus, or something wrong with your internet.  Contacting your network provider is a good idea.  smile

Download and install V3 Lite, then do that.
You should have a virus-scanner somewhere - some viruses will delete the shortcuts and files needed.

AVG Tray Free.
I stopped the process though, it was annoying me with something popping up.
D'oh that was a virus.

Re: My computer is messed up

I checked my virus vault.
I had over 30-40 viruses.
I checked the places but i guess it was removed.
Half of it was from my downloads folder.
I deleted EVERYTHING in the downloads folder.
I hope everyone learns from this lesson. u.u
I'm still scanning now.
It will take about 10 minutes.

Re: My computer is messed up

Hopefully the virus isn't so bad you will have to backup everything and start all over again.

It probably is a hidden file or one that moves itself around
If you go to tools - folder options - check show hidden files/folders
If its there delete it
If it is isn't there then start your comuter in safe mode  - starts ONLY the important processes
do a scan
If it comes up with up delete
If it isn't there then I have no idea
BTW try using a different scanner like comodo

Re: My computer is messed up

Sounds like a problem with your internet connection to me, but I'm glad you got some viruses removed too. If there's any stubborn ones, I highly recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. The free version will only do manual scans, but it's highly effective in removing stuff.

That is the best, also try Mcaffee.

Also, try rolling back your computer to a date before the viruses were there.

If your gonna loose any information, just run in Safe Mode.

Re: My computer is messed up

Do you have Flash Cookies enabled? That may affect xat &tc.

Also, I would highly not recommend McAfee because it works horribly and makes a lot of mistakes.

Re: My computer is messed up

Obviously, your computer and internet files have become corrupted. Double check that you'd enabled cookies, run a virus scan, twice, flash through all websites for authenticity, and DOS the whole thing. If you have McAfee, run a separate DOS on that as well.


Error:Signature could not load. Please wait for an indefinite amount of time, until you realize you're gullible and go off to look for another potentially interesting signature to stare at.

Re: My computer is messed up

Is there a anti-virus or similar on your network? Is there a new firewall you've installed?

Most importantly, are cookies enabled?  smile
