I just don't know what to do. I have had my computer for about 2 yrs with no virus's. Recently my little bro moved in with me and now I keep getting virus's. Anybody know where I would have acquired a QOOBOX virus?
I don't know what I can do to protect my computer. Any suggestions? Is ther anyway that I can block certain risky sites? :eek:

How old is your little brother? He may be looking at certain "risky sites"... Boys, Eh.

I've get AVG it's a good, free, anti-virus program. Run a scan, it should remove the virus' you have. It'll also stop your computer getting 'em in the future.

He is 21. I don't think he is going to those sites. He does a lot of myspacing. So do I. I've been running Avast but I am not satisfied at all. I ran it earlier and deleted the virus. I was hoping someone might know the origin of that type of virus. Thanks!

Couldn't find anything on a Qoobox virus, but there is a Qoobox that is apparently a part of ComboFix anti spyware.
Qoobox is a folder created by Combofix to quarantine any infected files.

Do you have Combofix installed? If so, Combofix looks to be some heavy duty anti-spyware made for specialists to diagnose. If this is what you have, then maybe Avast just doesn't like it and reports it as a virus.

Seems as though ComboFix was never uninstalled...

Please uninstall ComboFix by doing the following. :)

Go to to Start > Run
Type in box

combofix /u

Note: the space between the X and the /u

Press Enter.

This command will:

* Delete the following:

ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
VundoFix backups, if present
The C:\Deckard folder, if present
The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
