If you just got a virus or you wanna check do you have... then read this! :yuno:

Scan your computer

I recommend you to download one or more of these tools.

• Malwarebytes - You must login or register to view this content.
  
• Spybot: Search & Destroy - You must login or register to view this content.
  
• SuperAntiSpyware - You must login or register to view this content.
  

Do a full scan with it / them. If it found anything delete them and restart your computer immediatly.
If you think you didnt get rid of it continue reading...

Looking for processes

This basicully tells if you got a active virus (rat / keylogger) on your computer.

If you see any suspicious processes, tell to me.

Non suspicious processes

• taskhost.exe
  
• csrss.exe
  
• nvvsvc.exe
  
• winlogon.exe
  
• svchost.exe
  
• explorer.exe
  

If you see same process more than once, its a bad thing (but you can have many svchosts)

If you think you found a suspicious process, end it.

And with this method (thanks to Curt), you can check if your csrss.exe is infected
You can tell if your csrss.exe is infected by this.

1) go to task manager and locate the .exe itself as shown here -

2) now you gotta right click and go down to properties You must login or register to view this content.

3) if your csrss.exe has the same ticks as mine then you are not infectedYou must login or register to view this content.

Looking for active connections

So, this will tell active connections to you.

Go Start>Run>cmd>type netstat - and wait till it lists all connections.
You should see many 127.0.0 connections aswell your ip connections on the Local Addres tab. They are fine.

If you look under Foreign Address and find your ip, there should be "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:80" They are fine too. That 80 is a port number, and it shows up when your internet is on.
If there is many non-80 or 25 ports, close ALL programs FULLY and do this scan again.
If there still is "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:1524" or a number between 1-9999 it MAY be a rat or keylogger. Don't worry we will fix it

Disabling the startup of a virus

Go Start>run>msconfig.
Then go to "startup" tab and try to find a suspicious application there.
If you see something like "server.exe" uncheck it!
Now the rat / keylogger wont start when the computer boots up next time We basicully killed the virus.

If you succesfully removed a virus...

Alright, so congrantulations if you got rid of a virus!
Now download a program called You must login or register to view this content..
We will fix the registry with it, becouse rats and keyloggers may **** it up.
I think you find a way how to do it with CCleaner :yuno:

...I had over 300 errors in Registry week ago, lol

If you still have the virus

So, if you still have the virus I would recommend to format your PC.
First, take your external harddrive and put all important things to it (pics, porn, small games, DON't put any keygens or hacking tools)
You can google a way how to Format your computer... Good luck!

How to prevent getting a virus

Now, you don't want any viruses don't you?
DownloadYou must login or register to view this content.
Now run all malicious files in it, and check how many processes pops up (Sandboxie Control)

Scan your computer every week with your Anti-Malware tool.

And... dont download everything!

Good luck

// There are much of more advanced ways to check if you are infected, but these are the basic ones.

Coders that made those great programs!

PS. Ignore my english

thanks for this. this will help as there seems to be far more rats around recently

Do you know how to speed up startup and Internet explorer? (my dad uses ie)

With CCleaner you can speed up your internet

Thanks. How long does your disk defrag take cuz I had to stop it after like 3 hours

It can take about 15 hours

Holy shit that's a long time. Does it help a lot?

I haven't tried it ever, so Im not sure :banhamma:

Defragging isn't really even noticeable unless your computer is really really slow

Nice, This might come in handy one day
