SPY SHERIFF "Your computer is infected! Windows has detected spyware infection."
I'm getting this message along with a blinking red X in the bottom right of my screen.
I don't know how it happened. One day my computer was fine, the next day I have this red x and something called "spy sheriff" was mysteriously installed on my computer. I removed "spy sheriff" and my computer functions normally. . .except I have that red x and the constant popups saying "windows has detected spyware infection." I did have a spyware/adware problem a month or two ago, but I had it gotten rid of. Now, after my computer was totally fine for a while, I have this red x and constant annoying pop ups from it. Also, I notice that this red x and it's pop-ups ONLY appear when I launch Mozilla Firefox internet browser. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla, but the red x has remained. How do I get rid of it? Thanks! Last edited by sgthenshaw; 10-04-2006 at 10:45 PM.. |

Have a read of this. Follow all the instructions best you can, then attatch a HJT log as a .txt or .log file to your next post.
Follow these instructions BEFORE posting your HJT log. |

Once you`ve finished the instructions as suggested by N3051M. In addition to posting a fresh HJT log, please post an Ewido log as well. These should be posted as attachments.
