Thanks for all the help, guys. You are wonderful people/
On the third page, I posted a picture about AOL Explorer...can someone tell me if it has the features of IE8 or not? Is it not safe? I'm not going to use it if it's not safe but it is my favorite browser...and I just want to know how to check if it has all the things that make it safe, like no script in firefox, etc.
Shubham, thanks for wanting to help so much, but all those programs were the first thing I considered and downloaded. This crappy malware kills all of them instantly. It's insane. First it's MBM (even followed the instructions to make it not get detected by saving the setup as a different name as well as the application exe file, and did nothing), then Spyware Doctor, then SuperAntiMalware, then Avast boot scan which somehow disables my keyboard so I can't delete the damn infected files, NOD32, then Viper, then even my full Symantec security system my bro got from his college, did nothing. Well at least, I wasn't able to install it right. Safe mode apparently is not even safer than normal mode (at least I can install stuff in normal mode). I'm now giving NOD32 another shot, and it just finished the scan and I'm going to see what it needs to do next. Then after that I'm trying Viper (only installed it, didn't use it) then maybe I'll run symantec again...after that...I will manually delete all the crap from regedit (I could have done this last week but I heard it could break my computer, so I imported all my valuable files to the laptop I'm trying to install Dell software on lol.
Some mentioned earlier that viruses can screw up the very files one has, and, of course I believe that, but for some reason, out of the 50 times I've been infected with online stds none of my files broke down. Oh well, I mean they are a lot of files...pictures...movies...music...hopefully I will not notice anything in the long run. No way am I going to check these files individually to see if they work or not.
Hold up, if I do a full computer scan and if one of my valuable files are infected, will it just tell me and ask me if I want to get rid of it? Since I was always under the assumption, a scanner just deletes what you got infected
by, not necessarily what got infected, whatever that means. Not sure if it means the file is missing parts to it, or has something attached to it that prevents it from working.
Last question, if a file I want is infected is it possible to get it cleaned and cured? I ran into this while searching:
http://forum.kahuki.com/general-discussions/3967-does-virus-scanner-clean-heal-file-delete-file.htmlI wonder if you guys have to say the same thing. I sure wouldn't want to delete something I like so much...k get back to me.
-Edit- Just found out the links Soure gave on the third page for me are useless...as I mentioned my disc drive has long since been dead, lol. Crap...oh well, gonna have to go another route...probably a risky one.
