My computer was infected with virus and i managed to remove some with antispyware programs. But after that I got a VIRUS ALERT!message near the clock. The drives in my computer is missing and the programs links are also missing too. Appreciate your help.

There are way too many of them and all have different ways of dealing with them to be guessing about which one it is you have or if you only have a rougue trying to scare you into buying some program to remove it... It is all ready there...so click the icon and see what it syas or where it links to so that we can get an ideal as to what we are dealing with! Operating Costs = the cost of operating a business Profits = revenues over and above the operating costs. Taxes = operating costs mandated by gov. TaxPayer = what you are called by the gov.

Any update? I have had this before, what I mainly use is spybot, ccleaner and AVG Free for friends ( I use the paid version), try removing all the antispyware and antivirus software and run just this ones, and let me know to help you. Juba

If you have Virus Alert! in the taskbar, you probably have one or more or all of these symptoms: - Task Manager doesn't work - pressing the Alt-Ctrl-Del keys at the same time doesn't make it pop up like it usually does - Task Manager is greyed out in your toolbar choices - you can't see your C and D drive in My Computer and Windows Explorer - there are icons on your desktop for things you did not install yourself - they are for anti-malware software - if you attempt to delete those icons, access is denied - IE redirects your home page to an anti-malware web site - you can't change it - any or all of Run, Search, Help and Support, Control Panel, etc. are missing in the pop up menu when you click on Start. The All Programs list is missing. - frequent pop up messages saying you have malware on your computer, in Windows and in IE - e.g. I got one message that malware was accessing the computer from the internet despite the network cable having been unplugged. Spybot and AVG will not get rid of this. CCleaner is not meant for removing malware - it merely gets rid of useless and leftover entries in your registry that may slow down Windows some. Hold your cursor over the desktop icons for the shortcuts that appeared for anti-malware software you did not install yourself, or Right click on them and choose Properties, and make a note of which web site address the shortcut is for. Make a note about which Home page for anti-malware web site IE is re-directed to. If the the web site address contains: safewebnavigate2008, or virusprotect2008, or anti-virus2008, or anti-virus2009, or similar (any listed with 2008 in it may be 2009) you have what is called rogue anti-malware software . The symptoms are created - FAKED - by the maker of the legitmate anti-malware software, to attempt to get you to scan the computer with their software - if you do scan the computer with their software, it WILL find malware, but maybe not any real malware. It won't get rid of the malware found unless you buy the software - if you do buy it WILL get rid of the faked symptoms, because it was them who created them. The quality of the legitimate anti-malware software it installs varies from ok to poor. If the web site address does not contain one of the above, tell me what it says, or search using the similar part of the name along with malwarebytes. E.g. search using: anti-virus2009 malwarebytes If you get "hits" saying Malwarebytes will remove that, then the following applies: See response 3 and response 8 in this http://www.computing.net/answers/wi... ....... If any or all of Run, Search, Help and Support, Control Panel, etc. are missing in the pop up menu when you click on Start, you can probably make them appear, but most of them only temporarily. Click on Start. RIGHT click on a blank area of the menu that pops up. Properties - Custom - Advanced Enable anything you like there, such as Run, Control Panel, Help and Support, Search, Administrative Tools, etc. Everything but Administrative Tools will disappear within a few minutes. You can see C and D in Disk Management. You can see all drives in Run - type: cmd mode. Virus Alert! is added on to many of the folder names when you Run - type: cmd, type: dir Search can't see C and D either. Run - type: regedit doesn't work - access denied System Information works Run - type: msinfo32
