I assume you haven't installed any anti-virus yet. Proceed ahead with installing a free one- such as Avast. Update it and scan. Nothing big deal.

these strange things are surely the work of viruses :evil:

see, there are basically 3 types of security suites..:
.1.Antivirus
.2.Total security
.3.Internet Security (highly recommended)
the culprit in ur PC can be found out only by either .2. or .3.
if u hav only an antivirus, den I recommend u to remove it, 1st go for .3. den for .2. of da foll recommendations and update & scan ur whole PC till da prob is solved... :wink:

1)Kaspersky
2)BitDefender
3)Quickheal
4)Avast
5)Norton
... :thumbs:

Just Follow my suggestion.

1)-First Download malwarebytes:- Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.60.1 - Download - FileHippo.com

Install it and Do a full scan with it.

after scan ,remove all the Malwares it detects .

2)-After that, download Hitman pro :- Downloads - SurfRight (chose 32 or 64 bit version according to your OS)

And do a scan with it and delete all the virus it detects.

After doing this two steps i am sure your problem will definitely get solved.

Bro, just be calm and don't do anything in a hurry, extract your important data into another HDD and Plug it into another laptop with an antivirus and then scan it first..

Now, Deal with your Lappy's HDD, install a suitable antivirus, Avast 7.0 is my personal favorite.. Scan your PC after getting or downloading it.. Hope you will get your Data safely and your system will be clean and secure, schedule a 'boot time scan' under the "Scan Computer" Tab..

If I did help, hit the rep button..

.. Only if I did help..

use kaspersky internet security, download free trial, install then update it. Scan ur hole system. It is one of the best.

Avast ftw.

^^ Yup.. Avast is ment For the win
Bt take a look here:

I already posted that

@OP: just download this & run (no installation needed)

eScan : Secure ? Scalable ? Reliable : Antivirus, Content Security and Firewall Protection for Servers and Endpoints

it will remove all the virus/spyware/adware

after completing install good real-time protection antivirus.

install avast, update & do a boot scan. also install the scanner module of Avira antivirus (won't conflict) or Emsisoft Antimalware, update and scan to get rid of trojan and spywares that avast usually misses.

PS: this can cause the laptop to fail in booting as system files are likely to be deleted. keep backup ready.

Dear nx112,
i have gone tru your instruction, at first part, got lot of infected pieces. now to try the second AV.

thanking you all.,

My suggestion would be to use the SOS pack that was given with digit itself. It worked for me, very well.My personal favourite is kaspersky. Write it to a cd from other than your system(so that there wont be any chance of your cd being infected) scan the whole system.... And in future be careful and try to use a linux distro. Cheers

Dude nx112,
yest i got fixed my Lapp Issue. thanking you very much.

now having trouble with my Ext HDD, seems, this may effected from the Lap itself.
that, all folders in one partition, shows as a shortcut, and in the partition properties it shows, 29GB used, but inside that partition, shortcuts in as folder names, and those are with just 2KB. i cant access those folders, i am afraid,. cos those datas are precious for me.

Run a boot time scan using Avast.

.Try recuva to recover your data from ext drive.

avast has the boot-time scan feature

to perform a boot time scan :

1- open your antivirus GUI.
2- Select the 'boot time scan' option under the 'Scan' tab.
3- Click on 'Schedule a Boot-Time scan'
4- Restart your computer and you will see the scanning window while computer startup..
