I recently got infected with a really bad virus by the name of security tool. It passed itself off as a virus scanner and said I was infected with all these crazy viruses and i needed to get rid of them right away. So i stupidly downloaded it and i was screwed from there on. Thank god i relized there was something wrong before i paid any money for the full version.
So anyway I had the hard drive taken out, hooked up to another computer and scanned for viruses. Deleted what was found then reinstalled hard drive. Did that twice, it worked for about an hour then popped back up. It blocked my restore system, my device manager,controle manager,internet options, and internet explorer. I finally figured out that i could look up the virus files by there number and delete them in safe mode then empty my trash can. Reeboot in regular mode and emediatly press ctrl+alt+ delete right when windows opens before anyone anything has a chance to open. Find the same file you just deleted in safe mode and delet it. Problem solved. So i thoght! lol
So my problem is That virus lead to a bunch of other worms, viruses, spyware, and malware. I currently have AVAST installed along with super anti spyware detective and a defragmenter. I have ran scans and found viruses then quarentined them. Also ran hijack this which i will past to this message.
Problems im having include slow computer and internet or at least the browser is running slow. Also i get redirected to odd websites and some sites wont load they just gave me errors like "CONNECTION INTERRUPTED: The connection to the server was reset while page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again"
"ADDRESS NOT FOUND, PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED."
I also started having problems with my wifi connection. It worked fine before the virus, but now it shows found networks but wont let me connect to any of them and if i do connect it state LITTLE OR NO CONNECTIVITY. It wont even let me get into my father inlaws network which is password protected and i have the password.
Another problem is my CD ROM driver wouldnt read any disk whatsoever yesterday, but i upgraded the driver and now it reads the disk, but doesnt actually play anything.
When i go into device manager my CD ROM drive has a yellow warning by it.
My system speakers wont play any sound on there own. If i put headphones in or hook other speakers up it works just fine.
For some reason i am not able to download anything. It downloads but then when i try to open it an error pops up like winflip sorry! Direct 3d failed to initialize for help go to winflip.stylekings.de/board

I went to add remove programs attempting to delete unused programs and free up some memory. For some reason im unable to delete certain programs like canon camera window DLSR 5 for zoombrowser EX. I just keep getting errors like
"ERROR X STRING company_name was not found in the string table."
"CAMERA WINDOW DS: could not find any previosly installed complient products on the machine for installing this product"
then i trie to uninstall component to above DC_DV 6 for zoombrowser EX and got
"ERROR: string_sdsetup complete error_msgs was not fopund in string table."
Also tried to uninstall Dell Digital Jukebox Driver and got ERROR: please ensure that the device is unplugged from the computer.
I clicked on that and got another ERROR WISE INSTALL: could not open INSTALL.LOG
Also wont let me repair items that need to be repaired like MY DIGITAL CONTENT PORTAL. I tried to repair it and gopt the following
1.windows installer "yellow warning" the file "is not valid installation package for the product DIGITAL PRODUCT PORTAL. try to find an installation package DCPDHS.MSI in a folder from which you can install DIGITAL CONTENT PORTAL.
2.WINDOWS INSTALLER: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailabe. (package DCPDHS.MSI)
This following error just pops up out of no where and says CANNOT CONNECT TO PHONEBOOK ENTRY ERROR 756: this connection is allready being dialed. Which is funny cause i have a high speed cable modem not dial up.
Well that is every detail i can think of right now. Let me know if there is anything else i should add to this post? I have tried alot of different options and had no luck. So i hope someone here can help. Thanks everyone for the effort.
