Hi!
My son somehow managed to get my computer infected despite an up-to-date Norton AV.
Every so often, (but usually after I launch IE and it asks me if I want to 'connect' (also something new)), a window pops up warning that I am not protected from viruses and then no matter what I click I get directed to a site that tries to install winantiviruspro2006. After that, norton pops up and detects winantiviruspro2006freeinstall[1].cab (no options given).
Prior to this I was getting norton popups about various dialer.generic threats (bgates.exe, svrhjk.exe and other things) but I ran ewido in safe mode and I don't seem to get those now.
BTW now I can't seem to get the computer to boot fully into safe mode. It stops before the desktop comes up. I can get the task manager up and restart from there. This used to happen intermittently, but now it seems persistent.
I'm enclosing my hijackthis log and a few of my ewido logs.
Help!
