O.P. Virus help
Yesterday i accidently downloaded a lot of trojans, which ovbiously isnt good. Somehow ive now managed to shut them all down, but i need some software that will find them and get rid of them before i reboot. IVe tried doing a virus scan with mcafee, found nothing. Spybot S&D didnt find nothing either.
One of the viruses is called IEantivirus. And some of the processes i ended to stop the virus were called SyS and then followed by some numbers.

RE: Virus help
I would recommend Bit Defender. There is a free edition.
But just use the trial full edition to get rid of these nasty ones.

RE: Virus help
i'd suggest Avast Home Free Antivirus.. it does realtime scanning, unlike some of them that don't

RE: Virus help
Ummmm ICQ..... 99.99% do real time scanning, its rare for them NOT to.
But hopefully your computer is fully virus free now ![:)](images/smilies/msn_happy.gif) . Bit Defender is defentily the best ive ever used (And as a small little hobby a while back, i was virused up a computer and was experimenting with AV's ![:)](images/smilies/msn_happy.gif) .)

RE: Virus help
As suggested by vaccy already, but I really want to emphesize again on rebooting in safe mode.
It is of no use (not much) that you do virus scans, repairs etc, unless:
1) you have turned of System Restore
2) you have booted up in Safe Mode with an absolute minimal config.
A lot of trojans these days can easly trick various virus scanners (including the very well know and established virus scanners).
I shouldn't suggest this but if you must download cracked stuff, then run the programs in a Virtual Machine or at least with Sandboxie....and always turn off your network connection before running them...

RE: Virus help
Yes, safe mode is the best bet, but, to get rid of alot of modern day viruses, you have to TRY to get rid of as MANY as you can before rebooting. For example, there's this one particular virus that changes all these settings and disables everything, But you still have power until you reboot (It disables explorer.exe, taskmgr.exe and etc). Safemode doesnt help this particular one either ![:P](images/smilies/msn_tongue.gif) .

Not necessarily cookie, I know for a fact that the anti virus I adore and swear by (Kaspersky) does in fact scan the system restore save location for infections and cleans/removes them from there also.
On a side note, sometimes booting into safe mode is not an option and sometimes, certain viruses, cripple the system and are smart enough to replace explorer with their own version, which calls the real explorer and also calls it's on set of infected dlls, then it really doesn't matter does it? (I have seen this happen fyi).
Although, in most scenarios, things are just more effective if scanned from safemode, as like you pointed out, it's essentially a bare bones mode intended for such a purpose as outlined above.
