Hello Friends,
My systems seems to be infected with a virus, and I am hoping someone could help me here.
On launching Internet Explorer, I get the below error:
---------------------------
Critical Error!
---------------------------
Attention, admin! Some dangerous viruses detected in your system. Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium files corrupted.
This may lead to the destruction of important files in C:\Windows. Download protection software now!
Click OK to download the antispyware. (Recommended)
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------
This message itself indicates that this is perhaps a virus which is prompting me this message and then try to redirect me to the below site:
free-viruscan . com
Some steps I have taken are:
1. Tried performing an online scan with Trend Micro, Bit Defender etc.. but all scan seems to fail, as I am unable to launch them.
2. Tried disabling the BHO.ext2 add on in internet explorer which seems to stop those popups. But as soon as I enable them it starts prompting with the above message/redirecting. It looks like the virus is related to the BHO.ext2, but I am not sure.
3. Run Hijack this and I have attached the logs.
Please could someone advise how can I get rid of this virus.
I have a McAfee scanner installed.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
Regards,
