My Computer Just Got A Virus - Please Help?

Since yesterday, I had my firewall disabled for a day to fix some beta issues with SW:TOR. After the beta ended, I forgot to turn my firewall back on. I went to this website, and as soon as I left, my Norton kept spamming me to give "Google" permission to do something. I clicked no, but it would return. Eventually I clicked yes, and my computer has been SCREWED up since then.


Now:

- My taskbar icons disappeared. My word, excel, SC2, WoW, LoL icons all disappeared.
- My start menu has 3 icons in it now. Opera, control panel, and my computer.
- When I go to some websites, for example, some websites with the word "Anti-virus" in it, it re-directs me to the same page where it says downloading (search phrase) and then a %.
- My task manager says iexplorer.exe is running. Every time I close it, it opens back up.
- I can't find a LOT of programs on my computer now for some reason.



All of this is making me very angry. Any help would be appreciated. I ran Avira scan, it found 7-8 problems, I quarantined them, and then deleted them. Spybot Search and Destroy found 6 problems. I "fixed" and removed them all.

I tried doing a system restore to two different points, but after each restore, it said that "a file from the restore point is missing, system restore did not complete."

After all of this, my computer is still not working properly!

Please, ANY help would make my day! I can't do anything right now...

If possible, run #1 and #2 in the safe mode to start with, and post the log file.

I got a annoying redirect virus on one of the other pc's and the only thing that worked was combofix. Do you use any anti-virus at all?

There's a high chance they'll come back, if not, 90% of time they'll just be hidden somewhere else in which you should be able to get them back manually.

110k files scabbed so far with Malware bytes, 0 objects infected found. Opera keeps closing, internet explorer keeps closing every time I go to a page with "anti-virus" or something like that in it. My guess is that the virus is censoring it.


I'm still running malware bytes. hopefully the issue found >.<

OMG OPERA KEEPS CRASHING, SO DOES EVERY OTHER BROWSER!


StackHash_7da7 IS THE FAULT MODULE HELP

I ran malware bytes, and all of my browsers keep crashing. what the hell is going on...




my programs/task bar crap that got hidden isn't back yet either...

catalyst control center, and all of the intel i7 drivers are still crashing.


i haven't restarted my computer yet, so maybe that's it.


at this point, i'm kind of raging = /

anyone know how i can at least restore my system? I'd be happy with that. I have a couple of restore points before crap hit the fan, but every time I try, even from safe mode, it seems to fail...


i'm really sad right now. =(

I have a 64 bit OS, and so I'd have to use spybot SD according to your link, but every time i try to run it in safe mode, it says it can't run in safe mode.


should i run it in normal mode? and if i do, will that even fix this? my problems are still there.



I am beginning to hate people who code viruses, diallers, keyloggers, etc with a passion.

OK, try o run Trojan Remover and select >> enable boot scan

ok. it'll be finished within 4 minutes.

they were cookies, and 2 were registry keys according to S&D.

Restart and run again.

sigh...i don't know if the virus is gone or not, but I just started in normal mode (logged in now) and the icons are not back, and I still can't find sc2 etc.

Catalyst control center just crashed upon logging in again, and so did the intel center.

That's OK, lets scan again and go from there. Sometimes the damage is bad, depends on what u got.

Just to add a little to the topic.
R kill . Stops most active infections. It does not remove them but stops them from running.
Many virus writers know about MBAM ,Combo fix etc. and stop them from running.
R Kill is the answer to this.

Download different versions. Virus writers know about this too. So they have many versions. It is the some software, but different executable file names.

EDIT
Follow the guides above, but run RKill first. It may take a while and seem like nothing is happening. but wait for it. When finished it will display a status screen.
I also suggest Installing AVAST. I install it on all of my familys computers. It is good at cleaning files,not just deleting them.
No software can stop you from clicking that button and installing a virus.

doing a full system scan with avast now...hopefully this fixes it.


is something damaged within my registery maybe? is there a program to repair that?

I would not run that just yet, but run also CCleaner @ http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

Tell me what do u have installed? U don't have multiple AV running? Do u?

I mean multiple antivirus programs installed.

Can u run Belarc and PM me log info? http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

well, i originally had norton, but it's subscription ran out, and I had spybot S&D. After I got the virus, I got avg, but it wouldn't install correctly (didn't do it on safemode) so it never really installed, it's just sitting in its compressed state.

After that, I got avira. scanned on non-safe mode, it found 4-5 things, I quarantined and then removed, then ran malware bytes, then trojan remover, and now avast. after that, I'm planning on running CCleaner. if that doesn't fix it, then I'm going to cry...

I paused my scan...running it now...I'll send you the log.

well, I ran belarc, and it closed and didn't give me a log. Ran it again, and my computer restarted in the middle of it...

after running belarc, it gives your score/log on your browser...the problem is that my damned browser gives me a "Opera internet browser has stopped working message" with the option to check for solutions or close the program after the 10 seconds since I started it.

any luck with the log i sent you?
