Torezu Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I suggest taking your computer to an IT professional, preferably one that deals with this type of thing on a regular basis. While it is possible to fix virus infestations yourself, I usually strongly recommend against it if you don't know exactly what you're doing, or have access to someone that does to help you along.

Moderators Munaus Posted March 1, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2013 I had a pesky virus once that kept bullying me, sometimes I couldn't listen to audio files because my sound card driver was "corrupted"??? Restarting my pc fixed it for awhile, but came back again. I re-installed windows, problem fixed. But it took a day before I got all my shit back together.

I would suggest taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosquito Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thank you for the help. Luckily I was able do deal with the problem on my own. After doing some searching i found some useful removing tips. http://www.americanpendulum.com/en/2012/11/08/trojan-maljavagen24/ It appears that the virus was not actually a trojan, but a malware infection. Probably that's why my antivirus was not able to handle with it. I read that i should download an antimalware program and do a scan with it. http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Trojan-MalJava-keeps-coming-back/td-p/849594 Also i did some manual removing. I uninstalled java(i do not know if i will need it in the future but for now i'm fine without it) and disabled all java plugins from my browser. And i also deleted this file Ntshrui.dll So now my PC is healthy : ))) Thanks again and bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torezu Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 A Trojan is type of malware/virus, the names are loosely interchangeable. Glad to hear you were able to handle it yourself. I always recommend changing all passwords immediately after ascertaining that the virus/malware is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
