Once we got zone alarm, it found it right away. Nothing else worked. We even wiped the whole system and it didn't work. Your problem may not be the same but it sounds like it is...just with mozilla D:

I fail at explaining things ._.

So I should get zone alarm?

It will be challenging because of all the windows popping up.
So did lots of windows pop up for you?

shut down your computer or just pull out the plug if it's that bad and can't shut it down properly. Remove the battery if it's a laptop.

Re-boot in Safe Mode and do your scans.

Lots? You have no idea @_@;;; It wasn't so bad at first and then it got worse and my dad was freaking out xD He thought he would lose his stuff. Well the stuff he didn't get to save to CD yet D:

But umm, I really don't know if you have the same problem. If you don't...you'd be wasting time and money on zone alarm...possibly :x So I'm not sure. I've been asking my dad and he said this sounds like the same problem too but he's still unsure. I mean...we can't see whats going on o.o

And about what Ivory said...if that works then its def not the same thing we had o.o

This probably helps me a whole bunch., but Im NOT good at technology/computer things. So how would I put it in safe mode?

Your OS please?

try this

Quote:

1. If the system is already turned off, power it on.
2. If the system is already on, shutdown the system normally, wait 30 seconds, then power it back on.
3. Begin tapping the F8 key every few seconds as the system boots up until the screen offering the Safe Mode option appears.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode and press the Enter key.
5. The system will now boot into Safe Mode.
6. On Windows XP, you may receive a prompt asking if you really want to boot into Safe Mode. Choose Yes.
7. Once Windows has booted into Safe Mode, open your antivirus program using the Start | Programs menu and run a complete virus scan.

Uh, okay I have a strange virus as well, and I hope someone can help me. It's just that, if my computer stays connected to the internet for longer than ~50 min, my computer reboots. If i disconnect and re-connect my internet before those ~50 min, it doesn't reboot. I also noticed I have an abnormally large number of "scvhost.exe" processes running. Before this virus, I remember having 2 svchost.exe under NETWORK SERVICE , 1 under LOCAL SERVICE and 1 under SYSTEM. Now I have tons.

Sorry for the huge size.
Also, before this virus, I had a different virus called Virtumonde. It got detected by my SpyBot and was erased. But now I have this virus D: Help me please!

Ok, so I tried it....but it says that there is an error, so it wont reboot in safe mode.

For instance, after clicking 'safe mode', all of these phrases ( that are files I think) repeatedly appear.

I checked to see if I had any floppy disk or anything else in the hard drive but I didnt.

Chances that you have a root-kit just went up o.o

some smart root-kits disable processes/make it harder to remove them. Get AVG Anti-Rootkit or something similar.

I'd suggest going to professional help or wiping and reinstalling your computer.
