Guest Allyson Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I REALLY hope someone can help me! I keep getting these error messages saying my "Computer is infected. Get an antivirus or spyware remover to clean it". And then I get redirected to a window advising me to purchase "Antivirus XP 2008". Has anyone else received these messages? Is this a genuine Microsoft product? I have Nod32 Antivirus. And I had been using Spybot regularly which was working really well but it has suddenly stopped working. Can anyone help me to get rid of these messages?

Try: Kaspersky's AVPTool http://downloads5.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/AVPTool/ There's no updating involved since the scanning engine is updated several times a day and you simply download the updated scanner whenever you want to do a scan. Also: Download and execute HiJack This! (HJT) http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/threat_analytics/HJTInstall.exe Please, do not post HJT logs to this newsgroup.

By pressing/tabbing F8 (or F5 on some keyboards) during re-boot. Alternatively: click onto Start==>Run, type "msconfig" (without quotation marks), click OK. Then click onto BOOT.INI tab and 'check' /SAFEBOOT then OK and click Restart. To go back to Normal Mode, you must access the System Configuration utility again and click the General tab then click/check the radio button 'Normal Startup'- load all device drivers and services'.

Guest LisaBendel Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Re: Antivirus XP 2008 Dear Mike...I read this post with interest, as this virus invaded my computer last night. By this morning, the computer is virtually useless...it logs off immediately following logon, even in safe mode. I am unable to start the computer in safe mode or any other mode, for that matter. I have a couple of removal programs copied to a CD, but am unable to run the CD on my computer due to not being able to get into Windows. I've tried safe mode command prompt and that won't load either. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.
