Do you have any important information on your laptop that you would miss if it was gone?
If not, you could try a full system restore.
-
ive done system restore but only goes back to july 2007 right around time when the virus or whatever started happening
how can i do it to a full system restore

Were you given a system restore disk from the OEM you purchased your computer from?

Don't download anymore Virus or Spyware scanners from any popups
Can you do the following
If possible, post a Hijackthis log
Download Hijackthis Installer from [color=\"#FF0000\"]HERE[/color] (http://\"http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe\")
For an alternate download location, you can try HERE (http://\"http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/HijackThis/1071179190/1\")
SAVE it to your desktop
Double click on HJTInstall.exe to run it
Choose Install
Hijackthis v2.0.2 will open
Under Main Menu, Select
Do a system scan and save a Log file
A log will open in Notepad
Copy and Paste the Whole log back here to the forum
If you can't post that log let me know
-
eh it took me a little over 3 hours just to load the first ttg page
then right after it got up about 20 pop ups came that was antispyware and my computer froze
i cant really do much but ill try again

Try doing the following
I need you to download a couple tools
First, Download and save to your desktop
[color=\"red\"]SmitfraudFix[/color] (http://\"http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip\")[/url] (by S!Ri)
Extract the contents (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.
We'll need this later
Download this file - Combofix.exe (http://\"http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe\") and save it ONLY to your desktop
Don't run it yet
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :- Restart your computer
- After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
- Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
- Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
- Choose your usual account.
In safe mode
Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.
You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.
The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".
The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process;
I'll need to see the log it generates later, by default it is located at
C:\rapport.txt
============================================
If your computer was rebooted, afterwards return to Safe mode
If no reboot was required, remain in safe mode
Double click on ComboFix.exe to run the program
Follow the prompts
normally this fix takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes
If the computer was rebooted by the fix
ComboFix will run again, then continue to create a log, this can take a few minutes
Let it run uninterrupted please
I'll need to see this log later
By default, it saves a copy of the log at this location>>C:\combofix.txt
Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall
Try and post back all the following
1. Post the log from combofix>>C:\ComboFix.txt
2. Post the log from Smitfraudfix>>C:\Rapport.txt
3. Try to run a fresh scan and save logfile with Hijackthis and post it's log
