jimlastella 0 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hope you guys can help. I've been having a problem with my system that acts like a virus that NOD32 can't remove. Here's what happens. Using the system normally, everything working fine. Then a popup comes up from NOD32 saying it found a threat, usually in the registry. At that point the system slows to a crawl. If I open the NOD32 window and go to statistics it's acting as if it's running a scan, constantly checking files, or at least that what it looks like. I've let it run and it goes on forever. Last time I stopped it at 5 million items checked! In addition the security level in IE is changed and no longer allows downloads. I ran a full scan yesterday and it found 2 items, cleaned by deleting. Then this morning the same issue popped up. Rebooting the machine clear the problem unit it pops up again. Suggestions?

jimlastella 0 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Trying. It's hard to catch. Tried a few minutes ago and I couldn't paste the screen shot into a file.
jimlastella 0 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 I went through the support section, and found it was the poweliks virus. Downloaded the cleaner and removed it. thanks! Excellent customer service!
rugk 397 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Okay, great. Just for future reference: How do I remove a Poweliks or Gootkit infection?
