I think I may have a virus..

[irbullet]

I recently downloaded something I wasn't suppose to on the internet..
I scanned it with malware bytes before I opened it and it said it was clean
I did a quickscan with malware bytes too. I have malware bytes pro and MSE
and they both didn't detect anything...
but some users said this file was a virus / rat
Please help! thanks

Hi,

This doesn't pass the 'smell test'. Which users are you referring too? What exactly did you download, and from where? Do not post any links!

If the downloaded file is < 32MB in size, scan it using this online tool, and report the scan results here:

the second I opened it it closed my google chrome and when I opened it it opens new tab and not my home page... Thats what got me worried. I had to make it where it opened google again in settings
all my startup items seem ok.

Hi,

I wonder if there is something else going on here : its not impossible, but improbable, that VirusTotal, MSE and Malwarebytes will miss soemthing like this, if it is indeed malware.

What do you mean by hacked? What was hacked?

I am a member on a gaming site and I got hacked and they posted a link to the virus on the forums..
They changed my info and I had to recover it..
PLEASE HELP!! I used Credit card on it!
its FUD i believe

Call the credit card, have it cancelled and re-issue a new card with a new account number. Back up all important data, then fresh install W7 and consider it a lesson learned.

How exactly do I do a CLEAN install.

Well Im not wiping it all!
It has 3 os.. I can't just reinstall the stuff.. And I need xp for work.. Just to be on the "safe side" isn't it unlikely to spread?
They are 2 different hard drives and 3 partitions

Hi,

I agree with the clean install. Since we have no idea what you are infected with, its very hard to recommend anything else. As to your other OS's, who knows.......its your decision. If I was in your shoes, I'd clean the lot.

Follow the advice about credit card, and also....on a known uninfected computer, change all your account passwords for email, banking etc.

I formatted my partition completely. I'm 99.9% sure it didn't spread..
I got to the virus before it spread I believe..
Hoping it's fixed!

What is Windows Defender Offline?

security essentials, kaspery, avast and windows defender

I scanned with malware bytes and Avast!
It's a nice combination

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Good to hear you're back in business!

According to MS, MSE will not play nice with others. So you might want to choose between MSE, Kaspersky, or Avast, and do not keep the others for on demand scanning.
For on demand you can use Malwarebytes free, SAS free, Hitman pro free, or Emsisoft free.
