When I has the same problem, that my Norton antivirus could not handle, I run, and then bought Spy Zooka..... when my computer runs a little slow I do a day quick scan and the Spy zooka will find the problem and clean it up... It also runs a full scan every day in the night I think its 39 a year C2
This thing is just going nuts. About every second a new little warning icon pops up at the bottom of the screen. Lots of my applications won't open. My AVG anti virus won't open to let me see what got in here. I have NO idea where to begin.

Well, I have no idea what has gone on here. An hour ago I had non stop virus warnings screens of all sorts popping up. Little balloons in the tool bar popping up like a clock ticking (every second or so) warning me that my computer is infected. Computer locked up, AVG wouldn't open so that I could see what had gone wrong, etc etc etc.
I tried to shut it down and it locked up, so I did Ctrl+Alt+Delete and got the "not responding" message, clicked "don't send" when it gave me the option. Suddenly those hundreds of little warnings and everything disappeared, computer works perfect, everything opens as it should, AVG says no threats found, went to Trend Micro and ran HouseCall scan, no threats found. It all looks perfect. What gives? There is no doubt there was a serious problem.

hmmm now that you remind me that is a Trojan virus!! it starts on my screen, and makes it look a problem, my computer is detecting!! (goes nuts) I see it occasionally now, and I immediately get out of the screen, or restart the computer... both my virus protectors will pick it up.... definetly from the nova site

Try the web site freewarefiles.com,on the left hand side click on antivirus,there are virus removal programs to download for nothing.The ones with the highest star rating are the best.Hope this helps.
You say you like to read... http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=la_B005CYH5ZC_B005CYH5ZC_sr?rh=i%3Abooks&field-author=Doug+Boyce&sort=relevance&ie=UTF8&qid=1433396335
FYI my computer guy informed me few days ago that AVG is still free,BUT....will no longer remove the virus,just tell you you have one.If you pay for it ,it will then be just like nortons.so I bought nortons 360. Who knew,I guess nothing is really free.
The other Nova site too Steve. I was staying away from Steve's, logged on to the other one. One of the first posts was "virus on here too" or something like that and before I could finish reading, POW!

Mine has been perfect now since I posted that about 4 hours ago that it had healed. I am going to keep it running, no shut down any more. We will take all our pictures and documents out (onto CD's) that we need, maybe uninstall some stuff and when we have done all we can I will do a system restore back a week or so, then shut it down. I am guessing on a restart it's gonna be royally messed up and doing it again. I'm sure it's infected, I just can't figure out why the shutdown that I tried that failed temporarily healed it, but I'm glad it did.

When mine actually happened I was on the other Nova forum but I had just been on Steves. Apparently the other forum has the same virus too. Somebody's mad at the Nova boys for something...

I run a program called Pit Stop. It works pretty good too and they will try to fix problems for you and it scans out your whole system. Probably same idea as Spy Zooka.
mine is still running bad. We have three acounts on the computer. I can not get any where on mine but I am able to use the other accounts. Slow but working.
Hi Carl, For Windows XP to find System Restore go to Start; Programs; Accessories; System Tools and once that opens up you should be able to find System Restore right there. Hope that helps you out.
Years ago when my computer was "gorping" up on me, I unplugged it for 24 hours just in frustration. When I plugged it back in the next day all was fine with it. I have no idea what the deal was at all, it just worked for some unbeknown reason. Musta just been a bad case of the "Gorp Gremlins" I guess.
