I've been experiencing some intense slow-downs and frequent crashes over the last few days. Finally I decided to do a virus scan and discover I have "win32:induc."
I looked it up and tried to find solutions but nothing was particularly helpful. I moved the virus to chest as recommended by avast 4.8, but then it kept popping up again and again but from different areas. (i.e, one is in program files, the other is in a different folder, etc...)
then I start seeing other virus warnings and add those to the chest.
Avast told me to reboot and do the virus checking during the boot phase, but that crashed to.
I'm running Vista with 2 gigs of ram and a duo core processor.
I'm wondering if the virus is taking its toll on my CPU because ordinary programs that usually take up little space are lighting up the task manager. Even when I type here it pauses every few seconds, or slows down when I back space.
When I browse wikipedia, I can here my computer reve up really loud, and mozilla freezes for about 10-20 seconds when clicking on a new topic. The browser becomes bright white with a heading say "not responding," but if you wait long enough it goes away - only to return when you scroll through the article.
my browser has done this about 5 times and its taken me over 30 minutes simply to write this.
This is so unreal and I've never had this problem before. I don't get on bad sites or anything!
How to do I get rid of this?
