I get this error message in the bottom right hand corner of my computer. It is a yellow shield with a black ! mark on it.


The message is: Spyware infection has detected! Windows has detected spyware infection which corrupted the registry.

It is recommended to load update to prevent data loss. Windows will now download and install the most up to date software for you.

Click here to protect your computer.

Then when I am in IE I get large pop up all the time which is very annoying.

Please help. Thanks

Programs not loading now.??

Everything was fine and good and now some of my programs will not load. Like Adobe PS and Cute ftp. How do I fix this issue?


Thanks
 
Not yet. Also it is very slow and locks up. And it was fine yesterday. I think it maybe a virus. I installed AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 and when I try to do an update it says: Error sorry the server is not ready to server. Please try agin later. Yet on another pc on same network it works fine.

Help
 
I have merged your new thread into this one.

You may well be right about the virus.

That`s why I asked you to post your log files the last time I was helping you.

Post a fresh HJT log as per the instructions above.

Regards Howard :)

You were right about the infection. You`ve got at least a couple on there. It also appears you`re not running any antivirus or Firewall software. That`s a huge security risk.

Very Important: Before deciding whether you should clean or reformat your system, go and read this thread HERE and decide what it is you want to do.

If after reading the above, you wish to clean your system, do the following.

Go and read the Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT, AVG Antispyware and Combofix logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.

Also, let me know the results of the AVG Antirootkit scan.

Ok I am going through the list and I am on step 11, AVG anti-rootkit tool. I did the scan and it gave me about 15 items. Do I check all of them and hit remove selected items? Or just check items in c:?

I have one for c:\program files\internet explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

Is this right to hit remove for this?

How can I see the file it is going to remove/delete?

thanks
 
If AVG Antirootkit has found so many items, it`s because your system is probably infected with a rootkit.

Run the scan and save the report. Attach the report here. Do not let AVG Antirootkit delete anything just yet.
