I was download files on the internet using firefox.
And this one icon showed up on the taskbar by the clock on the right hand corner. It was a red circle with an "X" on it saying error and something about my audio on the computer is disabled. If I click it then it sends me to a computer software website.
Then I ran a scan with my "AVG free edition" and found no infection. (it's up to date)
Soon my desktop background changed into a "warning, click this link to save your computer" type background picture. And I couldn't open my task manager.
I notice an unusual EXE on my CCleaner. It's TnApoint.exe.
Since I know when I got the problem, so I system restored to this morning before the infection.
After the restore, the system seems to be back to normal.
And then I turned off the system restore to wipe the saved restore points. And I cleaned the system with CCleaner, scaned with AVG, Trend Micro Housecall, and Ad-aware but found nothing still.
TnApoint.exe is now gone
Did that clean my system? Should I be worried or should I keep "cleaning" it?
Since I haven't physically detected a malware on my anti virus, I am still a bit concern that it is hiding somewhere. But I then I did remove a bunch with the CCleaner.
I have widows XP
some advice please
Thanks
