What to do if my computer is infected by a virus or a malware?

Hi all,

My computer is acting funny lately, some symtoms: clicking things feels different. Normally I could doubleclick in chrome to select the whole URL, now I have to use CTRL-A to do that. I get the feeling something is messing with the things I select/ doubleclick. Double clicking folders doesn't open them anymore.

I have a folder on my D drive called 12bc0e0ac5b89191efaea8 with two files in it: setup.exe and setup.rll. I can't delete them, it says I don't have permission while i'm admin.

I tried Housecall from trendmicro. I couldn't select the 'I agree' tickbox with the mouse, had to use tab and spacebar, then I could not click next. I have AVG Free, it does not detect anything. That I find strange too, because usually it would find a few tracking cookies etc. Now, nothing, ever.

All in all I think I cought something, do you guys know of a way to check if I have and how to remove? I would hate to reinstall all I have on this box. Please advise,

Thanks in advance,

Gert-Jan

Generally speaking without more detailed information - which you seem to have troubles with in the first place, due to blocked options - it's tough to nail it down into a more specific direction.

For general help identifying what could be wrong, try installing/running the following software:

  • HijackThis from TrendMicro - there's a non-installer download and you can save the logfile, could you post it so we can have a look?
  • MalwareBytes Anti-Malware - See whether that finds something on your machine.
  • ClamWin AV - A lot of stuff which has code to block/disable/hidefrom antivirus software seems to "forget" about this. It's a pure on-demand scanner and runs ages for me, but it has helped in a few situations.
  • You could try the bootable scanner-CD from AVG, if there's something blocking AVG from properly scanning it should work if you boot from this.

Our normal recommended application is Malware Bytes - use the free scanner to check your system out.
