This is my first post here. Reason for this post is that it appears that my wife's computer has a virus or malware.
These are some of the warnings that have popped up:
-------------------------------------------------
Warning!!!
File: C:\WINDOWS\wml.exe
Threat:Abebot
Click here to visit PC-Antispyware web site..
There is also another similar one;
System Integrity Scan Wizard
Warning: Your computer may have critical errors in Windows registry and file system!
--------------------------------------------
Task manager has also been disabled as I get a dialogue box that pops up stating that "Task Manager has been disabled by the Administrator"
I am using the latest version of Kaspersky Anti Virus and the Windows firewall as my security.
I have run two online virus scans; one with Trend Micro Housecall and one with Kaspersky. The Trend Micro Housecall did complete the scan and indicated that it had found several infections; however it failed to remove them as it appeared to lockup when trying to do so. Kaspersky failed to do a complete scan as it to locked up at 55% completion.
As I type; I have the loaded Kaspersky program doing a complete scan and is at only 20% complete after two hours. Painfully slow! Will let it run it's course unless otherwise advised.
I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and have used it to fix the infections it found. However; it appears the computer is still infected.
The computer is working fine; the only noticeable annoyance at this time is the Task manager. I keep reactivating it and it keeps being disabled!
I'm at your mercy.
I tried to attach the HJ fog; but for some reason I couldn't. I get a message that a pop up has been blocked.
