Ok, i was visiting a domain i sold here some months ago just to see how it was developed, i go on it, it took about 30 seconds to load which was rare for my connection anyways!

after it loaded i was bombarded with porn popups, that was easy to fix with anti spyware programs, but then a day later i get a call from my isp saying my ip is tracked to be sending spam emails, i do a netstat -a and yes, omg i am sending like 100 spam emails per second from my pc due to that program. I have no idea what this virus or spyware is called, i tried several spyware progs to remove it and none worked, the only way i am controlling it right now is by blocking alot of my ports manually every time i restart, because once it restart it starts all over again or i control it with my windows firewall... i just want to know is anyone aware how i can get rid of this damn thing, its actually slowing down my connection quite noticeably.

FYI the domain was F I N D . S C <<<don't visit this site, it has virus.
 
I have visit find.sc, but nothing happened.

Using Firefox....

Reinstall the OS. Backup your docs only. Also run a firewall and anti virus programs.
 
I use webroot spyware, which according to my research is the best. I would reccomend trying it to see if it helps. I also recently purchased an antispyware program from my ISP, which prevents logging into sites with spyware. Let me know if these work.

yeah i did that... i found the virus, it was called trojan vxgame, it's one thing finding out what it was, it's another actually deleting it. so i gave up in the end and just reinstalled everything. just about to buy mcafee now anyways for added protection.
