HELP I got a virus/trojan!!!

[bork]

One is called "cxssx.exe" I believe, and the other is a worm called "resfix32v.exe" that keeps adding more processes to my PC, making it slow down and eventually crash.  What can I do?

Google isn't giving me squat for answers.

I'd recommend you to go to mininova and download a virus remover or something/

Luckily, both AVG 7.5 Pro and Spysweeper are available free for a limited time:

Man, some of you guys are real fucking dicks.   

I went elsewhere and got some help, but to no avail.  That's quite a nasty virus...even safe mode was not safe.  So I'm reformatting now. Truth be told my PC needed to be wiped clean anyway.　Can't wait until I get a Mac next year and this bullshit never happens again.

Do you think I need these if I'm already using Norton (Which expired right before I got the virus, LOLZZ), Spybot, Ad-Aware, and CCleaner?

Despite the hate, Norton has a high detection rate, it's just that it's a resource hog. If you're not going to go the pay route, go ahead and get AVG Pro. Personally, in terms of pay protection, i'd recommend NOD32, Kaspersky (what i'm using now), or PC-cillin. i'd probably still recommend Spy Sweeper with Norton depending on which Norton you have.

Spybot and Ad-Aware (the free version) lack active scanners, so you have to run them to detect spyware. Not so with Spy Sweeper.

CCleaner doesn't remove spyware. It's more of general system cleanup util that gets rid of orphaned files and entries.

lol, I can't believe you reformatted.

lol, I can't believe you reformatted.

There didn't seem to be any other option.  I'm not good with PCs and I forum I got recommended to me had only thread about the same worm with the guy trying everything to no avail.  So I reformatted...nothing important was lost anyway.
