Hello.

A few days ago, my computer got infected with some unknown virus after my brother downloaded some crappy files from the net. I tried using my virus scanning program to find the virus and I deleted them after the program found them.

The problem wasn't solved. Whenever I start my computer, a internet web still pops up and there is this error message saying "Failed to launch dll. The program wasnt found."

The next I tried is to delete those crappy files from my computer but after I deleted them from my computer(includes deleting them from recycle bin), they will just reappear again the next time I turned on my computer.

When I am using the computer, annoynomous websites will pop up every now and then. They continue to pop up even after I turned my modem off. Plus, whenever I am playing a game, or using some other program, the game will sopmetimes just alt-tab suddenly to bring me back to the desktop and there I would see those annoying pop up windows again.

I have tried everything that I know off to remove these virus but to avail. I don't want to reformat my computer as it would be very troublesome for me. Does anyone knows of any method to remove these pesky virus?

Thanks

Can you tell us what the names were of some of the infections that your AV found? Which AV were you using to remove them?

Try downloading HijackThis v1.99.1 from here:
http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/index.html
It is a zip file. Make a new folder on the HDD and extract the zip file to the new folder. Scan and Make a Log File.
Copy/Paste the results into this thread in Applications & Security forum here in the forums, then wait for the experts to read the log and advise removal steps to get rid of the pest.
I will move this to Applications & Security so you can reply post here in your thread.
