Guest Paul C Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 The other night I accidentialy was hit with the XP Antivirus as well as some form of software which turned off my firewall and is now blocking certian websites on my IE explorer which is not allowings me to certian software download sites like Mcfee, CA, MSN XP support, and most of the recomended spyware and virus removal programs. I also notice when I do a serach in explorere, the links are fake and they open another window. At the same time my desktop changed to a Large Windows warning message indicating Spyware detected on your computer. Warning Win32/adware.Virtumonde and Win32/privacyremover.M64 I also have lost the ability of screen saver and changing my desktop picture. This Windows warning message on my desktop wont go away. I've run some online antivirus including the Microsoft and it found virus but didnt clean them Help!!!!

Anyone providing a link to a non-vendors site with a direct download should not be trusted, the vendors sites are the safest place to download their application. No person of sound mind would download files from a hack site that requires a password to access the unknown files when they are available directly from the vendors. Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites. The following links will take you to vendors sites for Spy Ware / Ad ware removal tools and also for Antivirus tools. After you install any of these applications and update them, run them in SAFE MODE to allow them to properly clean your system. First, make sure that your Java is updated to the latest version: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in order that I would use them myself: Dave Lipman's tools: Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL -- http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp MalwareBytes Anti-Malware From http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/malwarebytes/mbam-setup.exe AdAwareSE can be found here: http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php SpyBot Search and Destroy can be found here: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html SmitRem.exe by Noahdfear's SmitFraud, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, removal tool http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click%20counter/click.php?id=1 IEFix Utility - Description: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm -- - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)
