PC Doctor/ Virus help. by Lourix on 11-09-2006 at 05:32 PM
A person sent me what I though a good program I opened it and it just disappeared next thing I know this funny symbol appears in the right bottom of the screen and I highlight it and it says, "your computer my be affected with harmful or unwanted software!" Also whenever I go onto my homepage it goes onto a strange website called http://www.ieuptodate.com/
Another thing is all these naughty popups keep coming up and It is not in the add and remove program list. I have used my Zone Alarm and ewido and thats no help. I have another copy of that program that person sent me but its too dangerous to open.
I ahve posted a screenshot below to help, the red icon with the exclaimation mark and the yellow one came when I clicked on the program.

Find out what files it has, delete them, and make sure you NEVER install addware from pages like that

they delete adware and crap that infect your pc. just like nitro said. BUT no need to search for the files. the progs do it themselves

The problem is I don't know what to search for I don't even know what the program is called and I still can't change my homepage.
