4Chan Fandango Star Syndicate Virus.

[Mute_Clock]

The S.S. (or someone) recently advertised a game (No one really knew that it was from the SS), but I downloaded it and ended up getting a virus (AVG didn't do shit). Now I have this virus that spams stupid Flash files on my desktop every time my computer starts or changes my background, I no longer have access to my control panel (I unlocked the administrator account a while ago, so I'm as high up on the hierarchy as possible), I can't right click in a lot of places (I can some, but it's only a few), I can't system restore, I can't do a lot of things now and it's fucked my computer up, pretty bad. I've checked MsConfig (start-up, and services) for anything out the ordinary and I couldn't find anything (I think two items, but nothing that seemed too suspicious). I don't know what to do, and it apparently won't let me access Newgrounds. I could reinstall Vista altogether, but I have a lot of files and things that I really don't want to have to worry about losing (I will back up most files, but some that are either hidden, or that I can't really think about could be lost). I really need a solution to fix this virus. I do have an AVG scan running, but chances are that it's not going to get anything.

I will include the link to the file, if you somehow can analyze the actual file or something. DON'T INSTALL IT OR RUN THE "GAME".
(edit: man don't link us to that terrible thing - if someone wants to analyze it, let them ask over a PM -ZL)

I found the SS files in System32, but it says I don't have permission to delete them, and if I try to edit them it says it can't create something or another and then says I don't have permission. I have unlocker, but I can't right click the files. Also, apparently it is malware, I looked for something and found out that viruses can block certain websites.

I could only find a few S.S. virus threads, and none of which provided an answer.

uh. format?

[HeinekenClock]

I haven't had a serious virus that disabled me from doing shit to my computer, ever.
Either my virusscanners work better, or I just don't go to shady websites downloading every piece of shit they have to offer.

[Mute_Clock]

uh. format?

I really don't want to format, in case I have any files that I forget to back up. I'd rather find a solution that doesn't involve formatting my drive.

It was on Newgrounds, and I usually don't go around downloading stupid shit, but being 4chan, it didn't really make me think of the S.S.

[Mute_Clock]

long term solution: never go to 4chan or star syndicate again

Haha, yeah. So is there any solution except reinstalling my OS and/or reformatting my drive.

No, let this be a lesson.

[TwistClock]

restart, on the beggining BIOS System Check, Click F11. (F10, F12, F9, F8 Try them all it could be different)
 
And you should get System recovery up. otherwize, check regedit and delete the files

Safemode?

Me, absinthe and blackmagic were all hit by this a while ago. as long as countless others, by accepting files from a hacked romanclock AIM account.

It also installs a keylogger, and steals your passwords fyi.

we all had to format, although TrashLock fucked the guy who wrote it over and succeeded in destroying the email account full of unread emails, obviously everyone had to change their passwords just in case.

[iPodClock]

Also, you ran a program from 4chan?

YOU ARE THE BIGGEST FUCKING MORON.

ps. lurk moar

i don't even download rapidshares from 4chan.

[Spanish]

I'd say your best bet would be to get Geek Squad to help or something. I hope you don't have windows Vista.

Also, how could you even download anything off of 4chan, let alone run it? That website has like two admins, and I bet even they post malicious crap there.

[screwdriver_clock]

Download Linux Live CD, boot from cd, navigate to where the virus is, and delete. Nothing like bypassing security protocols.

Is there a romanticized version of this encounter?

Hi, I'm muteclock and I never go to the clockcrew or anything, except when I have trouble with my computer, yeah then I expect them to help me ofcourse.
