PLEASE help me UN-*** My Computer
Yep - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me un-eff my computer!
It all started when I left my computer open and my retarded brother (YES IT WAS HIM and I'm sharpened a knife ready to strike him down) visited some site........ Then boom... tazebama.dll_ was the issue - some worm.... So... my attempts: -AVG Free - did not detect it -Ad-Aware - the moment I tried to delete it/remove it... the program would abruptly shut down -SUPERantispyware - did not detect it -Trend Micro virus scan - could not clean it So I got McAfee - and it found around 1830 of it and cleaned/deleted it So I thought that was it... but then I realized my computer was SUPER slow... so slow that my 10 year old computer functions faster AND I can't even attach a file in my e-mail 'cause it freezes (instead of it being a 5kb file... it freezes like I'm trying to select some 20 GB file) So... I tried: Re-check virus scan with McAfee - nothing there Defragmented my computer... still the same speed Disk error check (the right click on the "C" drive one)... still the same speed I noticed in task manager under processes there are a LOT of ".exe" files that never existed before!!! My startup programs (start -> run -> msconfig -> startup) have NOTHING selected... yet the computer starts of with TONS of .exe files in the processes of task manager HELP ME FIX THIS! I have NO idea what to do anymore >....< I'm a computer newbie... so if you suggest something plz explain it a bit Thanks Jam it back in, in the dark. ^By Auro from the FFXII board... Thanks ^^ |
The forum description of the OS and Software subforum is probably what you need to do.
It's the most painless procedure. I recommend you back everything up by putting the hard disk of your computer in an external USB enclosure, and copying it off from there. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Fine I recovered my computer
Now my new computer has tazebama.dll_ in task manager... so I wanna fix it before "bad" stuff happens... but I'm not sure I wanna try Mcfee virus scan anymore... Any suggestions on what to use? 'Cause this computer literarly speaking died on me and I couldn't open the computer no more - so no backup yay! Oh and PLEASE don't say "just use a virus scan" but as I listed up top (first post) - I TRIED! I need a GOOD one that will not destroy my other computer in the process of "cleaning" the worm out This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. ^By Auro from the FFXII board... Thanks ^^ |
Kaspersky is supposedly one of the best in detecting.
(It slowed down my internet to a crawl, but considering that you want to nuke any nasty malware, who cares...) Install it, and then reboot into safe mode. Do a full scan. To go to safe mode, press F8 like a lunatic while the computer starts up. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
An easier way to get to safe mode is to go Start -> Run -> "msconfig" -> boot.ini tab -> click "/SAFEBOOT". Then restart. To undo starting in safe mode do the same thing except unclick SAFEBOOT.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Oh and before you go to safe mode proper, download "Autoruns" from Microsoft Sysinternals. While in safe mode, use it to disable anything that looks suspiciously suspicious, like for example "tazebama"
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
at this point you probably just ought to format.
FELIPE NO |
I know it's a bit late to add this in, but if you download ComboFix, SmitFraudFix, and malwarebytes, those three are excellent in fixing problems like this. Basically you just boot your computer in safemode, and run them one at a time. Hell you could probably get away with just using ComboFix for most issues, and it generally clears out all infected and unwanted files in the registry and System32 folder that can be harmful. It also erases any previous system restore points and makes a new one, because sometimes a virus or problem CAN come back because of them.
Like I said, I know this is a bit late, but if you ever have this problem again, just get those programs and use them, and you can save yourself some time and trouble by just using them. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? I am not a clever pony... |
