has aids. From the internet.

 

Here's the rundown, read it before suggestions. Constructive advice only plox. Comments about i.e. being teh suckz or reformatting = fail.

 

Certain sites (i.e. google and hg) will open just fine. Sites like hulu.com or pavlovmedia.com or microsoft.com will not open. Sometimes they go straight to page cannot be displayed, sometimes they hang on opening forever with like strobe like refreshing (white page, flashing scroll bar on refresh).

 

So far...

 

Trend Microvirus didn't find anything.

HiJack This found some spyware etc, has been deleted. This included:

---chkdsk.dll on startup etc

---several entries in current user

---removed something proxy rerouting crap

---toolbar spyware junk

Malwarebytes Antivirus has not found anything.

 

If I can't fix it by tomorrow afternoon I'm gonna have IT take care of it.

 

Prolly have all my CC info and user logins :mad:

 

 

*UPDATE*

I'm reformatting as soon as I get a hold of an external hdd to backup some stuff. After further discussion and research, reformatting seems like the most viable option to combat a conficker/conficker spawn :( I should get a cookie just for having it. The TRUE internet aids.

 

p.s. If I don't login within the next 24 hours, have a moment of silence for my laptop as I must have failed at my reformatting skillz :P

sounds like the gay XP Antivirus spyware shit my sister and brother-in-law had. i have removed this particular fucker about 3 times now. more info is found on bleepingcomputer.com about this including the removal process. are you getting redirected to random websites when you try to visit more official websites like microsoft, google, or yahoo? if so then we are on the same page and i can help. the junk is removed with malwarebytes anti-spyware tool and spybot s&d will remove any further traces on your system and provide real-time protection until you choose to buy a professional spyware/antivirus software.

No it wasn't redirecting. I got rid of that spyware on my front desk computer though. It was redirecting to go.google and etc.
