Hi Julio and Techspot team.
Ist time post. Profile of System Specs updated to best of my ability. I have found similar threads with generally same issue and copy pasted some verbiage:
While online, my computer apparently downloaded some Malware without m knowledge... and now there is a little red circle with a white X in my tray of icons on the lower right. it displays this message:
"You computer is infected!"
"Windows has detected spyware infection!"
"It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss. Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you.
Click here to protect you computer from spyware!"
Plus the infamous Red screen or White screen that are just jpegs that can be closed.
I have followed the Preliminary steps 1 - 14 as best I can. I stopped to ask about the directions: Step 14 - "rehide your protected OS files". I do not understand what to do.
I wnated to confirm before running HJT and posting the 3 logs.
However, so far so good with not seeing the Red Circle with White X flashing in the taskbar.
Thanks for the help
