« on: March 12, 2010, 05:50:16 AM »
I seem to have a virus in my computer, which is eating disk space. About week ago I made 5 Gt free space and during the week I don't have anymore free disk space and I haven't downloaded anything. I found the discussion where is mentioned ComboFix

Hey, Blue-Lotus,

I don't know about viruses per say, I had one a few weeks ago and had to re-formet my laptop. However, you say all was well about a week or so back........

.... have you though of 're-winding' your computer to a previous setting/restore point?  It might be worth a go  :o

Good luck

 :peace: 'n  O:-)

You are having that problem because your anti-virus doesn't work properly. You should consider changing it with something more efficient. I recommend Kaspersky, It's the best that exists nowadays.

Hello there : )

Please first download and install Malware Bytes - Update it and do a full system scan. If/when it finds malware have it fix all results. www.malwarebytes.com

I recommend Avira Antivirus the basic version is free and from my experience is the most light weight and the most effective. It is widely used in the corporate realm as well. After Malware bytes download and install Avira from free-av.com.

Then download and install HiJackThis and do a system scan and copy your log into this thread and I/we will dissect it. There are also Hijack this forums where they analyze your results as well.
