Well I guess I have downloaded some spyware and can't seem to get rid of it. I am getting the red popup with the title "Security System Warning" and listing of the infected file C:\windows\wml.exe. I am also getting the blue popup titled "Security System, Protection Control Panel" listing possible spyware threat "TrojanDownloader.XS". I'm looking for help in getting rid of these popups and any other possible spyware or malware I may have downloaded.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me,

six4au

PTARMANDO stop posting here.

You need to make a NEW thread just for you here http://www.techspot.com/vb/menu28.html

Also do NOT reply to yourself anymore, any member attached to this post (or any post) you multiple reply on, will get MULTIPLE emails. It is VERY annoying.
So stop it, and go and make your own thread !

I have the IDENTICAL problem. I have a current thread that is a little further along in a resolve than yours. I have tried many things and I've been instructed to do many things and nothing has worked in regards to this specific issue thus far.

I have yet to try the most recent suggestion (AVG anti-spyware). You can follow along that thread too.

frannip your thread is waiting for a reply from you, here http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthrea...630#post597630

Your issues and PTARMANDO issues and the original posters issues six4au.
are NOT the same. Although the fault may be, each user will have a totally different HJT log. Therefore they need individual instructions.

If they were the exact same, a tutorial would be made, and we would say look here, and reply back later !

I will reword my post .... I have the identical POP-UPS that I cannot get rid of possibly stemming from the same spyware/malware/viurs infection.

Sorry for the confusion. Obviously every machine is unique but the infections can be the same and result in the same or similar problem. That is what I meant.

I also made reference that "I have yet to try the most recent suggestion ...." which clearly shows that I have yet to reply to the latest suggestion.

No need to get annyoed. We're all here to help each other if we can.

I'm calm now.
I agree it was an outburst by me though. And see your point too.

I'm going to try to get these posts removed (passively speaking!) as they don't have relevance to six4au exactly

kimsland and kritius,thanks for the advice. I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program and here is my log file. I am posting this before I restart as suggested by the program. I will check this forum after that.

Again, thanks.

You need to run it again and make sure it removes selected.

kritius,

While I was running the program again, I received the same two popups as decribed before. Here is the log file of that execution

It looks like it might have removed it all.

Do you recommend any other course of action?

six4au

Well, I just got the red popup about spyware after I had thought everything was cleaned. The popup takes me to some webpage to purchase spyware removal software. I'm not sure what to do next.

six4au

I had the same security pop-ups and fake alerts as well. Red screen and all. After many many hours of scans and cleans and what not nothing was working. I decided to download SpyDoctor from PC tools and run it.

It returned a bunch of trojans that the other scans didn't catch. Without fixing anything, I even tried running the other scans and they came back clean! Unfortunately, in order for SpyDoctor to clean anything you have to buy it. Its not alot and definitely worth it.

I cleaned everything it found and have not had a problem !!! But this is just what worked for me. If you buy it, do so at your own discretion. There's no guarantee that it will solve your problem. I'm only sharing what worked for me.

Good luck.

Thanks frannip

Is there a log from SpyDoctor that you could post
That way we can possibly see all the registry keys and files it found and removed

ie There must be a free way for others to use.

There are over 150 entries (1 for each infection found) then another 1 for the cleaning results. I can't save a log, I have to save each and every one individually . Oh, and they're in ITALIAN. I'm trying to find a way.

There was about 25 that were quarantined that I believe one of them was the culprit. Maybe I can do those. I'll see what I can swing and will def post.

Doh !
Ok Italian, lots of different logs.
Maybe don't worry, that's sad

I am having the same pop-ups re: System Security Warning (which wants me to purchase their software & state that I have 38 dangers to my computer)

I have downloaded SpyDoctor & it found nothing. And I then downloaded MalwareBytes and I am currently scanning but so far it has found No Objects Infected and it is almost done. How can I possibly remove this stupid thing.

As I stated above - there were no threats found but I still have this stupid System Security on my computer popping up
But here is the malware report

Do a quick scan and make sure its up to date also try spybot search and destroy it great finds everything malwarebytes misses.

Have a look at:
