The effects in total, including cured and easily curable:
1. Ping.exe and ping6.exe (or was it ping9.exe?) spammed my computer with CPU usage [Fixed]
2. Any .exe I try and run gives me "Choose the program you wish to run this with" [Fixable with Malwarebytes]
3. Any google links I click send me to various ad sites and virusey sites [Still broken]
4. If I turn off the antivirus thing I downloaded (it takes up a shitton of CPU usage) for more than 5 seconds the virus comes back in its entirety except ping.exe
5. Youtube videos continue playing in the background even after I close a tab in firefox. They continue to eat up memory and I have to end the plugincontainer every now and then.
The antivirus I had to download to be able to even run programs is PC Tools Spyware Doctor. Otherwise my computer wouldn't let me do shit iirc.
When I turned off my antivirus's "Intelliguard" a second ago, the Windows XP Security 2012 virus came up again, telling me I was infected (Gasp!). I checked processes to see which one I needed to nuke. The last time the virus came it was some random 3 letter thing like nms.exe, I don't remember exactly. This time it was HGB.exe or HBG.exe. I noticed also a strange process that I hadn't seen before. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it was some BS in all caps with the letters "NOT" in it. Like "NOTTD.exe" or something. Anyway, when the windows XP security 2012 virus finally fully arrived, and I saw the HGB.exe (or HBG.exe... whichever), my antivirus was like "YO DAWG THERE BE A COMPUTER PROGRAM ACTING SUSPICIOUS IN C:\Documents and Settings\Evan\Local Settings\Application Data\HBG.exe
I went there and found it. I went to google. Looked back and the program was gone.
Halp. Roy helped me a little bit through some of this, so he could give some more details.
edat:My goal is to not wipe my computer and still get rid of the virus.
