Author Topic: Got an annoying virus (Read 2386 times)

Ok, I got this virus some time ago, which causes some beeping sound to start when I start playing a game, and never stops until I quit the game, luckily it doesn't effect GTA. I got a friend of mine who is good at computers to try and help me out, and he's the one who found that the virus I have might be Netsky-D (something like that, not sure of the 100% exact name). Can anyone help me out, to get rid of this virus?
BTW, in case it's of any significance, the games it effects are as follows:
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
Half-Life 2: Episode 1
(to make it short, pretty much all valve/steam games)
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
(I think those are the only games it effects)

Thanks for any help you can give me

Reinstall.

I've already tried reinstalling the games, did nothing, except delay the beeping sound a couple of minutes, until it was back again.

Sorry, something I forgot to mention. The virus doesn't only effect games, sometimes, when my computer is experiencing a terrible lag (which rarely happens), the beeping sound comes on. And also, rarely as well, sometimes while I'm browsing the net, the beeping comes on for no apparent reason.

It looks like beeping starts when mem usage is high. If anitivirus can't do anything, reinstall windows.

I'll try reinstalling it when I can

Beeping from your speakers or monitor?

Hmm I would say it's something overheating, as computers beep when they overheat. That said, it could be a virus masking itself as the beeping warning.

Go to Symantec Security Response (google that) and find the Netsky virus, they will have instructions on how to remove.

The beeping sound is coming from my computer, and is enhanced when I turn on the volume.

Brulla: I've used many virus scanners, they didn't find this virus though...
