I've got what I believe to be malware.spyware on my computer and can't seem to figure out how to get rid of it. It's taken over my desktop turned it black and has a message Warning Dangerous Spyware. I also have a pop-up stating Warning! Security report in the lower right hand corner.
I've run McAfee virus scan (nothing found) and done a quick windows update (no luck).
I have Malwarebytes' ANti-Malware and I was able to run it initially and it found nothing however I saw it hadn't been updated since Sep 08 so I then attempted to download the updated version. I am unable to successfully install or run it now. I get numerous application error window pop-ups that states "exception EInvalidop in module MBAM-Setu-.tmp ... and a pop up stating INvalid Floating point operation. Basically, I'm unable to execute the 8 recommended steps to prevent malware/spyware. Heck when I try to get into "my computer" to get to my files to try and change the name of malware it get an IE webpage system warning.
Also while at techspot I received this warning while poking around "ERROR! Connection was RESET by remote server.
This can be a reason for system faults, errors or critical data corruption. To prevent your critical data loss please do the full system scaning!"
Now I'm also getting a window stating MSKDetct.exe has encounted a problem and needs to close. prompting me to either debug or close.
I've alos tried to download and install super-anti spyware and spybot. I can download them but not run them (invalid floating point operation).
I'm not sure what to attempt to do from here. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
