Sounds like the time my computer got a horible active-X super-virus.
It got past
2 firewalls mutiple spyware removers and my virus scanner. This was
the reason I
had to reformat and reinstall; no mater what it would reinstall
itself!
It was downloaded by a popup ad, in a URL containing the word
"nitrious" (what I call the virus).
It will install large numbers of spy, keylogging, spam-sending,
password collecting programs.
There is vitrtually no way to remove it, since it is constantly
reinstalling itself (it had used 7GB of space
on my computer).
It is not detected by any program I know of.
Try reformatting and re-installing windows and do not use internet
explorer
(when using other browsers,it simply crashes the computer, but does
no other damage)
"(previous post)
- Notepad closes randomly (actually I think its after a specific interval)
Nitrious will do that...(dunno why)
- Internet Explorer takes forever to start
Nitrious will do that...(it takes time to load 100+ hijackers)
- my start page has been set to some "Home Search"
Nitrious will do that...(actually a hijackker it installs)
- my memory almost maxes out right after windows starts (i use MaxMem by
AnalogX)
Nitrious will do that...(it loads itself many times, along with many other
spy programs)
