    Laptop problems...

    So I was cruising the internet for pr0n and got a few spyware programs on my laptop, shit happens,...

    So anyways I come here, download 3 different anti-virus, spambotkiller programs and thought I was good as the first 2 didn't catch the one that was causing it(every 5 min a IE window pops up closing it makes 3 more) but the 3rd program got it, now I restart my laptop and get the same popups I thought I have gotten rid of.

    Also, is it normal for a laptop batter to go from 95% charged to 50% to 10% in a matter of 20 minutes? I always play on it when its plugged in but should the batter when not charging die that quick? its a little over 2 years old.

    Also the fan will turn on time to time and just hum really loud, I know its because its causing vibrations but is there anyway to fix this? It is very annoying...

    So anyone bored and know some stuff about laptops able to help me with these problems?

    Now I am getting FFXI Errors out the ass, trying to craft I will be in the middle of "synthisis" but my character model is not doing the synthsis motion he just stands there, then after the normal time he would take to synth an item he stands there I try to move, cant, try to synth something else, get the "cant do that while synthing" message, then it disconnections saying error, and PoL graphics are all shitty and something about direct X.

    wtf is going on?

    Knowing you are infected you logged into FFXI... Are you stupid? I mean seriously you are asking to get your account stolen by doing shit like that. I mean really.

    Okay now on to the help. Heres what you want to do. Run the spyware programs then FORCE power off then reboot to safe mode and run them then FORCE power off that should fix it. (DO NOT SHUTDOWN NORMALLY THAT WILL CAUSE THE VIRUS TO RECREATE ITS FILES! IT DOES A CHECK ON SHUTDOWN AND BOOT UP). If that doesn't help start googling for how to get rid of these trojans. and change your FFXI password and any other passwords that you used while infected ASAP (Not on the same computer!!!).

    I hope you have learned your lesson.

    I doubt the 2 might be related but in that case sure I will try that but is there any reason spy doctor keeps picking up the same thing it says it got rid of? Or why it took 3 full system scans to catch the other bug?

    If these are not catching them what program can I get that will?

    Yea well with all the shit going on at all the popular websites like ffxidats.com, somepage.com, ffxiatlas.com, and even allakhazam.com all having or have had key loggers on their banners I wouldn't be surprised if someone could have picked it up from there either but seriously there has to be some sort of really good spyware program and/or antivirus that will pick these things up isn't there?

    I have right now Spyware Terminator, Spyware Doctor, and Ad-aware all running full system scan and what do I get? A popup.

    They are not picking up something and if they aren't what will?
