i have a problem

[NoSympathy]

reformat. trust me, i had to do it too. just do it. store your songs on a website and reformat

[SniperKiller]

I'm just going to reformat this weekend.

I'm like the german kid when playin css wiht that shit on my comp lol

Can anyone give me a very good antivirus im tired of reformating cause of virus and spyware

And Thank You all.

[NoSympathy]

imo just don't go to any weird sites. use firefox and don't download shit that pops up, or videos from untrusted places. most of the time the viruses you get you can deal with yourself anyway.

[enderless]

Nod32 is a good choice, but i honestly don't run an AV. Like symp said, don't run anything you don't trust. FF+noscript is a must.

shtlss07-xfire/steam

add me if you need any useful progs or AV's

[Breaker]

so it worked yet or not? cause i think yah got a lot of good advies to do to get rid off it

[SniperKiller]

So ya after a nice clean reformat and it still managed to still be having same issues with cs with the menus appearing on their own and switching me on its own is there anymore suggestions or could this be a steam issue?

[kamikaze_bad_ass]

i would say if it's a clean reformat than it must be lurking in your steam or program files somewhere did ta save any of your steam files or down load any skins or werid shit recently or did ya go ta any werid links thou steam freinds ?? I would say completly wipe your steam install clean and start new (sure it's a pain but might solve the prob ) also the a slight chance your keyborad is fucked up try a different keyborad ( i have had keyborad and mouse probs errors before myself )

one other idea is that the prob is infeted in one of your emails or music or install files try checking all your install files

btw firefox and avg will warn ya in advance when ya going to a dangerous site or downloading a bad file

[Deadly_chicken]

when u say clean reformat, did u just reinstall windows, or did u completely wipe the partition and make a new one?

AVG free works pretty damn well for me, its what i put on most peoples comps, theres a free ver. on their website, and norton sucks btw, may detect most things but that shit will slow ur comp down more than the virus will most of the time.

and i gotta ask the stupid question, when u were running ur anti-virus, u were doing it in safe mode right? XD

p.s. rootkits are a bitch to get rid of lol

[kamikaze_bad_ass]

sounds like your a techie to chicken or alot of comp knowledge are u ??

As for me i luckily i grew up with my bro and his friends all programmers builders developers admins of servers and techies

and btw like chicken stated avg is the single best anti virus out there everybody i know recommends and uses it cisico puts out good antivirus and other stuff too but there more on the costly side

just to say i mentioned it....when you did your fresh install you did wipe the hard drive reformat it and then reinstalled right?? never just install over an existing install all corrupt files and junk will still be there and you will still be infected...just wanted to say that to be sure it was out there.
