Negz virus and how do I remove it?

Asked by: 19 views Computer Security

So, my computer has been terribly slow these days. And today we discovered these..

It has the title NEGZ, it’s in text document format and when you open it notepad pops up with the words YOU GOTTA LOVE NEGZ
I’m currently scanning and there’s like 300,000 files and still counting, but the anti-virus does not detect it as a virus.

I tried Googling but there are no related results.

I don’t do much on the internet/computer besides tumblr, twitter, photoshop, hallyu8, facebook, deviantart.
I also have Web of trust so I make sure I don’t open/download unsafe sites.

    Try download Malwarebytes

    http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    Download the free version, install it and it should most likely find the virus and put it in it’s quarantine. Then delete the virus and your computer should be virus free

    Good luck

    these text files are not viruses. they have been generated by the virus which is hidden somewhere

    scan your pc using a bunch of online virus scanners. make rescue cds using different antiviruses on other machines then put cds in your machine and boot from them then scan

    if still nothing take your machine to a service center. try and save your data but make sure it’s virus free
