Hey people,
Don't know how I managed to allow these to get onto my computer but I have a virus now that does several things;
I use Firefox but this virus opens up my internet explorer in the background and starts opening various websites with videos playing (I have the sound of film trailers coming through my speakers). Once I end the iexplorer process in the taskmanager the sounds stop playing.
If I try and open IE the window opens but is swiftly followed by the error message that the program has encountered a problem and needs to close.
My Firefox won't open when I double click the logo...but if I double click like 10 times in a row it will open 4 windows and allow me to then browse the web
Finally, I know it's a virus as, when I search for anything in Google search, the results show as normal, but when I click a link, it opens in a new tab (which doesn't normally happen) and then redirects to a completely different website.
for example, if I search "virus check", the link to the Kaspersky website appears in the results...if I click that link it will redirect through various different websites;
then onto;
However if I click the cached link in the google search results it directs to the correct website.
also, every so often a blank IE window opens with the web address;
Does anyone know which virus this is and how I can get rid of it?
Many thanks in advance,
Jordan
