I have some form of malware…can any boffins out there help?

by brad.lawrence . Updated 19 years, 6 months ago

I’ve got something nasty on my PC. Spyware programs by the dozen don’t find it – I’ve spent all day downloading, scanning and failing to find it.

I’ve tried:

Spyware Doctor
Spybot S&D
AVG Antivirus
Fixware
A-Squared
Reg Cleaner

Symptoms:

1. It will NOT let me type the name of, open or even click on a site in google referring in any way to the product called ‘C + Cleaner’ Had I joined the two C’s together, as they should be, it would have killed my browser!

I tried to remove said program, thinking it to be the culprit, but my PC fought me (closing screens, dumping me to desktop etc) so I’ve made a hash of it and have ‘ripped it off’ rather than removing it properly. Now I can’t download it again. I’ve googled the problem and it’s been discussed, but my possessed pc dumps the browser when I try to see the relevant pages….

PLEASE DO NOT JOIN C AND CLEANER TOGETHER IN YOUR REPLIES – I’LL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN THEM!!

2. My pc keeps attempting to connect to the internet without being told to…I’ve no idea where it wants to go!

I’m hoping that these symptoms will ring a bell with one of you gurus out there, cos I’m at the end of my rope with this.

Oh, having read some similar posts, please don’t ask me to send you a ‘hijack this’ report reaching this site and posting has exhausted my IT skills!

Hope you can help,
Brad
