Thread: can't get rid of virus

  1. #1
    Basically I have a similar problem to this, too bad the reply was so useless.

    http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=217049

    re-installing firefox didn't help, neither did malware bytes or a few others.Any suggestions?.

    Boot from a live CD and run a virus and malware scan from there.

    If you have a router reset it.Not just turning it on and off but reset it. Malwarebytes and the rest will not find a router redirect.

    Do you know what a live CD is? If not, google it. Otherwise use Hiren's and get a good portable antivirus you can use to scan your hard disks.

    Hiren's Boot CD includes a live version of Windows XP.

    I guess I'll try that.

    is there a way to block FF from opening multiple windows though, through options or add-ons, etc.
