I got some lame virus that started a bunch of processes called winlogon running under system priveldges, and now I shall document my removal of this.I think that it was a backdoor or something since it didn't do anything noticable
1. I restarted my pc, but the stupid thing comes up, so I close my internet connection, and then check regedit and find the path of it in the startup registry. I tried to delete it but then it suddenly pops back up.
2. I go to the directory (c:/windows/system32/winlogon/winlogon.exe) and scan the program there for viruses, stupid virus program doesn't get it.
3. I try ending the processes then quickly delete the program, but i get the stupid critical system process error
4. I rename the file, then suddenly another clone of it pops up, so what do I do? I renamed it then before another clone popped up I quickly turned off the power to my pc, then I turned on my pc and it's fixed! I feel so proud of myself

I wouldn't be so sure that it is fixed: winlogon is a critical component. I imagine that originally the virus will have infected winlogon.exe and has now backed itself up to another part of the drive. Because if you have deleted all copies of winlogon, your computer won't start :p

I noticed I had the same problem on all my computers!
So I did the same things you said and not only did it fix the computers' problems but cookies and sherbet came out!
So I got my computers all clean and a fantastic dessert!

I've also removed a virus without antivirus programs! I clicked the "my computer button", went to (C:) and pressed, in this order, Ctrl A, Ctrl Alt Del.
It took a while and now I'm on my other computer and waiting for it to restart itself to make sure it's working as it should.
Today's post brought to you by the letter: "heck".

I'm probably quite easy to troll, I imagine, but have I just been?

You appeared to take his virus story seriously. As in, you believed he had a virus at some point.

As much is this is the internet on which disbelief should be the natural instinct, there was nothing particularly strange about his story. winlogon is often targeted by viruses, SRAW appears to download material which could be infected with viruses... Then "fixes" it by doing
HOLY SHIT was this some attempt to troll me right now?! You're so meta!

Sprinkles, you've been a bit quiet recently. You're not cheating on us with another forum, are you?
