    Well friend told me about this site. A buddy of mine used to do all my computer maintenance, making sure everything was in order, running correctly and what not. Hes now moved to Florida and im in Tx, clueless about this.

    Recently my computer started slowing down a bit, so i started thinking something was wrong. Especially when i wasn't able to upload anything onto flickr or photobucket. I ran a sweep, via webroot? not sure it was on my computer. I also have the webroot firewall on. Anyways. Found a few infections, it told me to quarantine and delete.

    Well- Now all this stuff is happening. I ran the webroot spy sweeper a while ago and it said the following

    Virus Found *this is where i panicked* Troj/Virtum-Gen
    Adware found- virtumonde
    Adware found- zenosearchassistant (Threat marked as always remove)
    Adware found- Command
    Trojan Horse Found - trojan-downloader-waverevenue
    Trojan Horse Found - trojan-agent.gen
    Behavioral Found - Mal/Heuri-D


    Whats happening, whats happened, and how can i resolve this quickly. Till than ill be using another computer and keeping the infected one disconnected from any online connection til i find out whats going on. i dont know for some reason i think this will help?

    Please- ill try to understand any help given to me, id just wish to remove all this. Thank you

    I can sympathize with the 'I haven't slept"

    Good to hear your pc is running better:)

    Just attach the logs when you have them in your post in malware.
    The malware forum is very busy, it may take a little while for one of the experts to answer your post. just be patient
