"Spyware.CyberLog-X"
Oh shit, I think somebody's myspace page gave me a malicious virus. I ran Adaware and Spybot but they couldn't get rid of it. I followed another page which told me how to get rid of it, then tried to charge me forty bucks to do so! Is anyone here aware of this virus, and what I need to do to get rid of it? Ack! Help?

Post the log it gives you. I will take a look.

Edit: Boot into Safe Mode without networking.. Usually restarting while holding down the F8 key will do this. Run your anti-spy/virus programs while in safe mode.

5. Okay, I've done that...
Edited on Sun Feb-25-07 02:07 PM by Kazak
Should I just paste the scan log here, or should I pm you this information?

12. Yeah, you have some funk going on in there.
Post the log here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum22.html

This is where I can't help anymore. I want to help.. I have had legal trouble for people losing data. Sometimes computers are beyond repair. My advice, start burning your data while you still can. Good luck.

7. Run your programs in safe mode, and download Ad-Aware
Edited on Sun Feb-25-07 02:43 PM by DainBramaged
Free from download.com and Lava Soft. Run in safe mode.

If ad-aware doesn't remove it, you'll have to get a stronger program. But safe mode is very important. PLUS down load Bazooka, it's free, and you get tips on removing the spy ware PLUS

http://www.pchell.com/

BEST site on the web for help to remove these pests

13. Also
a really good spyware and antivirus suite to run, and BONUS, it is free, is

AVG antispyware

and

AVG anti virus.

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

DO NOT RUN MORE THAN ONE ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM.

Also, anti virus is NOT THE SAME AS anti spyware. They are two different beasts.

14. A few suggestions that may help
Forst this sounds like malware not a virus, but go to http://www.free-av.com/ and download their virus protection program and run it, it's free and it kills viruses.
Then go to http://snapfiles.com and enter spyware removal in to search, they'll come back with several spy killer programs many are trials that you can run if one doesn't work then get another.

Someone already mentioned avg, it works very well, I run spyware doctor and this machine is cleaner than skeeters you know what. You can buy it for twenty six bucks online or at your local megamart, i prefer having the hardcopy.

After you get your problem fixed download zone alarm firewall, it will help you from mistakes in the future, good luck.
