you know that black screen that pops up that you can run stuff in? i think its called run.exe?
here is a pic of what i mean off of google 
i'm sitting here watching a movie and a few times now its just popped up out of nowhere and for no reason and said 0 copied 0 copied what is going on? |

You could try ESET online scanner. I have the paid version on my 16 yr olds computer. It will find thinks other don't.
Also be sure JAVA is up to date. Some pretty nasty rootkits have been infecting a lot of people lately. I have read that older Java versions are letting things in. Good Luck! |

Your system has probably got a virus allowing remote control of it. Not joking. This is the safe assumption. If that was happening on my system, I'd be jumping through hoops looking for the cause. prob is i fail at computers. i put it in safe mode with no networking but my scanners wouldnt work. how do i whipe the whole comp clean like the day i got it? i have windows 7 |

little more info. porn is rarely on my computer and when it is 9 times out of 10 its when someone on arfcom posts it or talks about it and many people in the thread check it out who do not report viruses.
i downloaded and ran security essentials it found nothing. malware bytes found nothing although after trying it along with norton in safe mode with no networking now they are messed up and wont run and are errored (i did a week or 2 old system restore prior to this happening if that could cause it)...this was prior to downloading security essentials. i also have avg now but have not ran it yet. i am currently downloading the microsoft system sweeper to a disc and will then give that a go. thanks for all the help thus far and any further help. |
| that command window in the OP is a pic off of google. i was using windows media player....side note if it matters i wiped all my firefox stuff last night as in cache, history, passwords etc. i really dont see how that would matter but it may so ill at least mention is since i'm dumb at computers |

Quoted: Quoted: Replace Norton with an AV product that actually works, first of all. Try AVG or the Microsoft security essentials. The screen you saw could be due to a virus, or some program updating itself. It really could be anything. AVG, lmao. Oh boy. What's wrong with AVG? Honest question, it's always worked well for me. |

OP - did the command line echo "0 copied" or "0 copies"? not exactly sure it popped up only for a spilt second. I just started in safe mode and used that root kit disc from microsoft that 2c3k11 linked.....i ran and it said i was safe as well. could this is normal at all? |

It's a damn sight better than Norton (which isn't worth shit), and is reliably good over time, if not the flavor of the week. This guy needs reliable. |
