What type of worm, virus, or whatever?

Viruses and worms
1

I am trying to find out what virus or worm or whatever, would cause some of my small letters to scrunch together on my computer. I get it on web pages and in my email. It does not matter whether I have my display settings to 800 X 600 pixels or smaller. I tried them all and it did not fix it. And I have another computer that is networked and its view is just fine. I do not want to wipe my hardrive clean again :frowning: I also cannot get to any of the yahoo websites…and sbc (of whom I have my dsl through, spent 8 hours over the phone with me trying to help me. They think that I may have been infected with a worm or something from spyware. Soooo, I downloaded adware stopper, sypware stopper. I changed from Norton Anti virus software to Trojan, to Panda and finally to Avast 4 Home Edition. Each time I switched except for Panda, each software picked up a virus that the other software missed. Is there anyone out there that can help me?

What viruses do the AV-Software found? I know that Avast found some in the Panda Product, but what did the others find?

I’m sorry raman…but it wasn’t until I read alot of messages in this forum, that I realized how important it is to write down the virus message. But I did atleast write down the ones that avast found…unforutnately when it said that it was a virus, I deleted it :frowning: So anyway, avast found these viruses ( Win32Blaster[Wm] and Win32:RPCexploit[Trj]
Now here is another problem :frowning: While reading posts here, I clicked on the RAV virus url. it scanned my objects, directories, archives and said that I had 4 infected files. And that it found 2 viruses. Now what do I have to use to find those viruses again and delete them? The 30 day free trial of their desktop antivirus? Sorry to be such a pain. I try so hard not to do things that I should not on this computer and then I still get weird stuff happening. I am truly a newbie when it comes to fixing things myself on this :cry: Thank you soooo very much raman, and to all of you that read these and give your imput. You’re blessings from cyber heaven ;D

The problem is, that these Blaster and rpcexploit Malware will come back again, untill you close this “securityhole” in the RPC service by using the Patch offer by MS. If i remember correctly somewhere here in the forum somebody posts a link to that Patch.
