contracted a virus....
Hi all....... 2 nights ago i was at my machine sitting on this forum when out of nowhere IE8 fired up (i use FF3) & threw up a flash video clip of 3 men getting it on...
as i went to close the window it started jumping all around the screen making it impossible to close, so i killed it through the task manager... all was well.
about 5mins later it popped up again.., so i killed it AGAIN & my PC froze, i was then prompted (probably by the on-board CPU protection) stating....''this machine must now shut-down a virus has been detected''
so upon restart (which took forever), i ran all scanners i have & they found nothing..??, the problem has not happened since, but i now have a proccess that fires up on boot using 30% of the CPU & it wont stop until i physically kill it in the task manager...
the exe name is......''command windows host'' or something along those lines..??, i'll take a pic on the next boot..
this is quite worrying as my kids use my machine & having that crap pop up on the screen is a big NO NO!!
im a creature of habit in regards to web surfing so i haven't been anywhere i could of contracted one, but the OS cant find a problem...
how do i null out this malicious virus if the scanners wont find it..??
