Weird Cursor/Browser Issue

you dirty dirty whore.

If the cleansing didn't work maybe I can use one of your big orange horsepills.

Issue is not going away...had a hard lockup an hour ago that I had to force restart. Also have this error on reboot:

***

RunDLL: There was a problem starting C:\Users\Lloyd\AppData\Local\Conduit\Background\Container\BackgroundContainer.dll

The specified module could not be found,

***

WTF is that?

EDIT: quick research shows that it is indeed related to a trojan that spybot or malwarebytes removed. Attempting to clean up my startup config.  >:(

Nuke it from orbit. Only way to be sure.

Sadly I'm not really kidding. Wipe it and reinstall the OS.

And have a beer cuz it's the long weekend!

Meh do I have to? I really don't to do that. I'll drink that beer while waiting for your response.

rollback?

Or "accidently" kick your tower down a flight of stairs and tell the Wife you need a new computer tower.  I'm pretty sure she'll buy your story and graciously allow you to get a new rig.

Having had similar crap in the past, it's the only way to really get rid of it. You can continue to try to clean the machine, but it could take many painful hours.

You can try posting on the Computer Hope forums for help. I've had excellent help from them in the past, but it was the many painful hours route. It did work in the end though.

Right now all is quiet. Was last night after I posted too after I cleaned the registry. If after another startup it reverts, I may try the Bison method. Thanks guys for your suggestions so far. Going to browse to pr0n now so let's see what occurs with the present 'immunizations' in place from Spybot.

Godspeed, little Gus.

Well it came back and got really weird. The cursor turned into this two toned neon thing, then my system froze again. I think if I set the system back it won't work because I've that with viruses before in the past and it didn't work. I will run Malwarebytes and Spybot one more time because they both did remove a lot of crap and if that doesn't work...I suppose I will have to do the mirth option. Never did that before but it sounds colossally shitty.

[mirth]

Sorry. You're effed.

How the fuck have you never formatted a pc before?   Its a basic man skill.
