Projec 1 Virus Help!!!?

Question

hey guys,
i got the project 1 virus from an email and now i thinkthe virus is gone, but i still have popups
(ex of one URL is http://www.3bsoftwarepromo.com/rr/e/20060405CCAREYRR9E/SCAN/index.html)

it is so annoying and is slowing my computer down. if any one can help that would be awesome. BTW i hav tried hijack this ccleaner and just about every other anti spyware program already.

Answer 1

Neither hijack this nor Ccleaner are antivirus or antispy. They are system utilities that can assist you in tracking down malware.



I'm suprised though - did you go through all your startups, DLL's, IE helpers and identify EACH one? Dont forget about clearing out your prefetch folder (available in ccleaner)



Try Superantispyware. Its good.



BTW - Dont post addresses of known malware sites here. Some people may click on them and become infected...not a good idea.
