Well i got this virus called dialone and one or something, now it says in step one in removal to restart in safe mode, how do i do that? I have windows Xp Pro

The following instructions pertain to all Symantec antivirus products that support Expanded Threat detection.

Quote:

Update the definitions.
Restart the computer in Safe mode.
Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as Dialer.OneOnOne.
Delete the value that was added to the registry.
Restore the Internet Explorer home page.

It's even better in Problems and Questions where noobs ask all the time "OMG WHERE CAN I GET FREE MUSIC" or something else that's been asked hundreds of times. :P

the real answer here is get a fucking working virus checker on your puter and stop being a retard leech that helps spread these viruses in the first place

Another way to retsart in safe mode:

Go to start>run and type "msconfig" without the quotes.
Then under boot.ini tab, check the /safeboot box and restart.

Just remember to do the same (but untick) then restart to go back to normal mode.

Err isnt the whole point of this thread that HE DOES have a working virus checker, because it picked it up, and hes asking HOW TO REMOVE IT, therby stopping it being shared on the network, dumbass?

um no dumbarse , he has gone to symantec nd found the details on the virus he has , if he had a working a/v he WOULD not have got it in the first place

ignorance is no excuse, the reason this p2p is so *edit* up is still even in this day and age we have cowboys that either choose of prefer to ride bareback and take no precautions

security and protection is the responciblilty of every member of this p2p not just a few

if you choose to download and share on any p2p, and do not run a a/v up todate then you are a *edit*, full stop

i make no excuses for my flaming, and suggest that if you do then you are part of the problem.

get an antivirus checker or *edit*, dont like it bad luck

Not all viruses are actually caught by the software with a 100% success rate you know? I've had a couple slip by the guard before and get tagged a week later. :(

if you use the live update and subscribe to symantec web site , you get max 8 hours updates , anyone who waits for wednesdays to update is kidding them self

best bet subscribe to notification, it costs nothing and is quick

i do not presume to expect every a/v checker to catch every virus that is live but we all have a respocibility to do our best to keep it safe

avoid auto update------- update when u need to with live update

You obviously haven't heard of NOD32.

always try to fight the virus, do alot of search on it, if the virus scanner gives out the name, do as the rest of the post said... and try not to open any more attachments and other files your not sure about running ... cracks and other exe files u may download alot, 98% of the time they infected , always beat the virus... unless you get infected with one of those boot sectors on bios virus like the WIN.CIH virus those you gotta reformat to factory you cant even backup anything.. or you still have the virus in floopy and cd... goodluck~ :01: :01:

And turn off that uesless System restore ! Before removing Virus. B)

Here's a site to explain a little better about live update and such.

Heh, it would also be prudent to create another profile with admin priveleges and drop your normal one to a standard user.
That way you won't be able to fuck up system files. You'll have to log in to the admin profile to install anything, but it's a small price to pay.

Thou shalt not use the lord's name in vain

but GOD YOUR FUCKIN STUPID DUMASS, if you actually think ALL viruses were caught before they got into your computer, do you think that viruses would be such a big problem? DAMN MAN, your the kind of person that ruins good forums.

Damn dickhead. I bet you people think or call you an ASS in real life geez
