This problem I have is really begining to become a big hastle. I have seen many threads on this site and once I finally find one that i think sounds like mine it ends up not working.
I was hoping if anyone could help me before I go to my final, and pricey, resort the "computer guy."
I thought I had/have a Trojan Horse because one of my, now many scanners, found one, got rid of it, and it hasn't poped back up in more recent scans. Yet I am having the exact same problems as I was, which kind of confuses me.
Some of the things that are occuring with my computer are:
-Backround changing to a "infected with spyware" page with a clickable link (I can change it to something else but it changes back within 5-30 seconds)
-Task manager locked and re-locks within a split second (I've downloaded a program that unlocks it and right as I click "unlock" I have to quickly press alt+ctrl+del for it to come up)
-Getting warning alerts on my Taskbar's running icons (they tell me I'm infected with spyware and to "click here" to fix or security updates
-Sometimes "spyware removers," that I did not download, pop up and tell me to click a link to get rid of the problem
-Sometimes Explorer opens up randomly and brings me to a "Security/Spyware eliminating" site (which doesn't ever load if i don't noticed and exit it immediately)
I would highly appreciate it if someone could help me find the problem and get rid of it! It is really taking the fun out of my day. If my "HijackThis" log does not end up helping then I could easily add another scanner that might work (yet a lot that i've found posted on threads are out-of-date and no longer up-and-running). Thank you very much for your help, or at least try!
