with a virus like that i wouldnt risk fixing it, just format and reinstall operating system(windows 2000).
Hi I have A big prblem with my computer at the momment I was on line yesterday when a message came up telling me that I had virus attacking my credit account and about 5 minutes later a security screen came up asking me to put in a code which me or my partiner don't know and the virus has now taken over the computer. I was wondering if anyone knows how I can get rid of it. We are running windows xp 2000.

Stop being so stupid.. it’s my turn!!
Yeah! Frigging! format your HDD and install a good security, Spyware software!
Try Malwarebytes it gets rid of pretty much everything.
Yeh we can't even get in to reformat the computer does anybody know a back way into the computer to reprogram it
can you remove the hd and virus scan it with a good computer?
or tell your boot menu (f2 or f10 on startup i think)to boot from disk drive
then have the xp disk in the drive and follow the prompts
it will reformat it and install a fresh copy

Hi wyalkatchemsat,
Where abouts are you based?
boot into safe mode (f8 on boot)
can u put malwarebytes on it?
run that in safe mode
before rebooting, goto start,run,type in: msconfig
tick"selective startup" click "startup tab"
untick all shown,apply,ok,reboot
now you should be able to boot normally
run atf or ccleaner if you can get net
update, malwarebytes, run it again
reinstall antivirus

as for formatting it, thats last resort
useless scanning it with another antivirus as the 1st one didnt do shat?
if you do anything with the cd, run recovery, thatll keep your files
format wont
make sure you use ccleaner later, to clean out your ****

And don't forget to turn off your system restore first, before trying to remove anything

I found trojan remover to be affective as well.

yeah agree with most here on boot at first screen continue tapping f8 on keyboard then select safe mode one in there load malwarebytes that should remove most of the crap reboot and see how it goes
IF IT DONT WORK USE A BIGGER HAMMER
Hi every body I have just found out what this thing is It's a viral add it comes up as a screen saver that I can not get rid of has anybody got any ideas. And thank you to every body that helped with this problem. It's been a right pain in the you know what
I wondered what program generated the messages you got, what you describe it's malware.
Malwarebytes is what I use and Avast for viruses, both free.
