hey guys,
i know i've got a virus on my laptop (i'm on my gaming PC atm) cos my mate sent me an email which had an attachment, stupidly i opened it before i scanned it, and then when i next turned on my laptop it had no anti virus, i've restarted to see if it comes back or not, it doesn't
i've re-downloaded the right software and tried to instal, it doesn't connect to the server it has to to install for some reason, idk y, but its connected to the internet because i get on the internet in an interbrowser,
i have noidea what to do, anyhelp plz??

Disconnect the laptop from internet too before scanning, you wont fix it that way.
Try a few AVs: Norton 2009, Kapersky, Spybot S&D, Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes. That should be all you need, they all offer trials (Spybot/Malware are free.)
I got rid of Billy Gates and now run on UBUNTU INTREPID IBEX ...so fast without all that crap running in the background.
I'd say do it while it's in safe mode, but it'd be better to scan it then. Go to a last system restore point, if you can. Also depending on the browser - well nevermind it already infected you.
Run malware bytes or hijack & check the log from an executable drive.
ps. delete that email when you get the chance.
and no games :<
