I use spybot every day, and still I've come into some ridiculous problem. I have no idea where I got these things, but when I boot my computer I always have to shut down processes in my task manager, like rundl32, acrord32, and a bunch of other crap.

I did a system clean from microsoft's website, and everything went away for about a day, and came back. I don't have a virus scan program, and I can't pay for one, so if anyone knows of one/has one for free, I need it!

I have no idea where I got these viruses, and I haven't watched porn in weeks, so I need this fixed asap.

Avast is great:

AVG Free is pretty good:

Those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head. On a side note, don't get Ad-Aware, it is actually a trojan, we've got it on this computer now, and have no idea how to get rid of it.

Idk if you already do this but before you shut your comp down if you click on 'Run' then type in 'msconfig' and click browse you can get the systems configuration window up, in that window click 'Startup' then disable everything and click ok then shutdown. Next time you turn your com on, no programs will initialise during startup unless you open up the programs yourself. This might help, im not sure.

rundll32 is a system process.
acrord32 is acrobat reader.

oh and TREG massy's actually right nothing in the start up tab is necessary. any windows processes you disable in startup will reenable themselves next time they're needed. the services tab is the one you have to be careful with.

Those programs should not be running. I'm guessing the Rundll32 is a virus because its actually a user process, there is a separate one that is a system process.

I got HijackThis last night, and it had apparently worked until just when I opened this page, I got popup attacked.

The MSConfig thing I will do later, I have done it before but I always forget the command to type into the Run bar, "MSCONFIG"


I did search google, but the first thing that came up was Avast, and google tends to throw a lot of crap at you between the goods, so I didn't install it for fear of a fake or shitty program. Clearly I wouldn't be asking for help if I hadn't done everything I could think of.

no man there's always two. one for your user name and one for your system.

I got hit bad by a data-ransoming Trojan made by some branch of the Russian Cybermaffia, and subsequently with a Trojan that gave a false-positive virus scan message, locked down Firefox or IE, and tried to reroute me to fake webpages where I would DL more viruses. AVG, Spybot, and so on didn't even see them.

I was able to boot in Networking Safe-Mode, and download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It's the only freeware package I've heard of that can deal with the heavy-hitters like the friggin Vundo Trojan.

Alternatively, if you trust your own judgement, and can deal with potentially damning your computer, run a search for the suspicious processes on Windows File Info or Google, and snag a File Unlocking Utility that will let you halt, free up, and delete processes, programs, and viral .DLLs that are giving you shit.

no it doesn't
the startup tab is all programs i just got finished explaining this there's nothing important in the startup tab that won't re enable itself on it's own.

I have never once had a virus on this computer and I don't use spyware scanners or virus checkers anymore at all. The best way to stop the viruses is stop downloading so much dodgy shit from dodgy sources.

This pretty much. I got a vundo trojan from downloading a crack for some video game, and it competely fucked my computer so that i had to reformat. I now pay for things.

I'm pretty sure it isn't.

Im pretty sure you are right, given the fact that the techs who reformatted my pc once put it on there for me.
