Trojan horse, Crypt.BNO (Logs are Up)
Hi all,
I'm brand new here, and am desperately seeking help.
My computer had been running slow the past few days, and tonight after downloading an update to my Spybot Search and Destroy, my computer was "hooped" so to say after the reboot.
All of my desktop icons were gone, as well as the toolbar on the bottom. All I could do was go through my task manager to open anything, and I went and did a system restore, and so far this has helped (I couldn't even access the internet through IE this way, it just wouldn't work)
Now I keep getting a window popping up telling me I need to "click on this to install antivirus updates" (or something to that effect, now it just so happens the icon has now disappeared?) It was a red circle with an 'X' in the middle, if this helps. When I would click on it, another window would open (Resident shield) telling me a threat was detected, and it was called a Trojan Horse, Crypt.BNO
I am also getting a "Warning" box popping up regularly that says:
"Unwanted software (malware) or tracking cookies have been found during last scan.
If not removed immediately, these infections may cause the following:
*Lost Documents and Settings
*Permanent Data Loss
*System not starting up
*System Slowdown and Crashes
*Loss of Internet Connection
*Infecting Computers on your network
Remove all threats now?"
Now this one, I have no idea if this is a legitimate window, because this is all the info it tells me. I don't know if it comes from AVG, Windows Defender or Spybot Search and Destroy.
After doing some searching on the net for the Crypt Trojan I found sites advising to download "HijackThis" which I did and ran a scan, but I don't know what to do now...
Can somebody please help me..? I do have the scan file logged if anyone would like to see it.
Thank you so much if you can help me out here.
I forgot to add this, as I'm sure this has something to do with whatever has infected my computer.. About every five minutes, IE opens a new window on me with a link that doesn't work..
-gulp-
