sounds like viruses to me.Use avast's boot time scanning if you have avast.

[cool_techie_tvm]

Ahh...norton at its best

Friend, u have been infected by smitfraud trojan. Google for smitfraud removal tool.

AVG is the best.
Norton slows PC

[anandk]

auto-analysing it at www.hijackthis.de shows that yr pc is infected.

C:\WINDOWS\IA\command.exe
C:\Program Files\Network Monitor\netmon.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\taskmgr.exe

are indeed malware. if inspite of having norton, yr pc has got infected, maybe you'd like to do a re-think about it. should u choose to and wish to uninstall norton, make sure u download and use the norton uninstaller.

kaspersky av or a boot-time scan of avast will help remove the infection.

alternatively download and use delete doctor from www.diskcleaners.com to delete the 3 malware files on boot. then after the re-boot, run freeware ccleaner to clean registry.

[choudang]

Use kaspersky....

[cool_techie_tvm]

@pritish_kul2 Did u remove the said trojan from your pc ?

[pritish_kul2]

yss bt the virus is still der and now i am also being bombarded by antivirus downloadsss

[Saharika]

dont know how to get rid of virus....
norton...
well the newer virus are never detected and cleaned by norton ..it seems that virus writers always target norton first

kaspersky....
directly it makes computer too slow...
indirectly ..the activation key fails after one months ..and its says it is not valid copy ..and so on
offline update not so good

nod 32 ....
it doesnt detect some virus ..and when the computer is infected and the virus is installed it normally doesnt work for real virus....and leaves clue less...
and it shows some real programs as virus ..for eg in one computer it was showing apache as virus and stopping it...
offline update ...works some where ..some where not...

avg...
doesnt detect many virus...
offline update easy....
is very hungry ..you date next day it says your av is out of date..
pro version gives message it is not valid one...

avira....
update is too slow....
have not tested much...

so dont know what to do with these ....virus...

especially when the computer is already infected..the av sometimes goes crazy...

ur explanation says that all antivirus r not good then which is good..??
No one it is immposible.
I use AVG and it detect many virus and kill them however if a great deadly virus attack pritish_kul2 u need to format ur drive...

well i donot recommend any av...as non has been upto the mark...
i can name the virus ...for each av and even the problem with each av detailly if anybody need...
(av are the best fren..but ..even after the av installation there always remain a doubt is my computer infected...?)
once i use to have macafee ..i used to update it eevery day..and i use to think my comp was totally virus free
(ok hackers attack..lets forget for now)

but when i transferred file to another computer with avg...it showed some viruses in the pendrive and file..(taken from my computer)
so ..macfaee out...

avg
well as i say there is license problem
another ...when the computer is already infected one cannot install it...with many virus ...
chernovyl was one the virus which avg dectected was unable to cure...

some more are there...

any way av are friend..but i think none of them are perfect ...for now..

[pritish_kul2]

Thanks saharika and others for ur valuable suggestions......so the conclusion comes out tht i m gonna format the drive afta my xamz get over..THREAD CLOSED>>NO MORE REPLIES

[The_Devil_Himself]

just one more repliy hehe.

Dude get rid of nortan antivirus get yourself avast home edition,its free and updates are very small sizes(comes twice daily or so),and the best part is boot time scanning-it just works everytime for me.Um...thats it Thread closed.
