i downloaded what i thought was a package of office programs, as i needed to do some work beyond my current tools, and instead got a very nasty virus. the first things that happened -
it changed my wall paper to a biochemical sign saying my computer is infected blah blah
it changed my desktop icon fonts
it didnt make tons of popups, but a few, all of them saying something along the lines of " your computer is infected " or " get privacy now " " malware has been detected ! "
it changed my IE homepage and keeps coming up with all kinds of crappy windows / popups
it made an administrator account, i can't delete it from mine as it doesn't show up when i go into account options.
it keeps opening random folders
solutions -
ive run trojan hunter, nod32, hijack this.
nod32 got nothing but TONS of locked files.
trojan hunter got 3 trojans.
here is my HJT log
