Multiple Scans Can’t Find Virus?

By AntiVirus Posted in: trojan

I have a virus that keeps directing my search results to other pages, and my computer is really slow, it also seems to be randomly shutting off my firewall and virus protection. Occasionally i’m getting the message “Generic Host Processes for Win32 Services needs to close. “I’ve run Malwarebytes, Microsoft Essentials, Spybot, and Hijack this, all in normal and safe mode, and none of then are showing anything, but I know I’ve got one. I turned of add-ons and tried to search, but it’s still redirecting me, esp. if I search with keywords like ‘virus, trojan, etc.’ Can anyone help me? I’ve been trying to fix this for two days now.

    Redirect viruses usually comes with a rootkit infection. To get rid of your redirect problems try TDSSKiller (free stand alone tool by Kaspersky) and Hitman Pro ( 30 days trial). Both these tools are known to get rid of Yahoo redirect virus. Download links http://www.pcrisk.com/top-spyware-remove…
    Usually popular antivirus and antispyware programs misses this infection. Try the above mentioned programs, helped me before numerous times.

    It could be spyware. Quite a few antivirus programs don’t care about spyware so it ignores them. Try a program specfifc for spyware/malware like “spybot search and destroy” or Lavasoft’s “ad-aware” I run them both when I have a problem. Both are free, or have a free version you can use.

    Sound like you have some form of a rootkit running, try the following
    Download and install Avast (the free home version would do) http://www.avast.com
    Install
    Update
    Once done, open the Avast control Panel
    On teh left , click SCAN, then tick Boot-Time scan, schedule a a scan, restart
    Anything found, choose option 2
    It may not totally fix it, but should give you enough space to do more effective cleaning on it afterward.

    Try downloading AVG free edition antivirus – this software actually scans your entire registry. Hope this helps. http://free.avg.com/gb-en/download-avg-a…
