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!!!!

I'm so sorry that you haven't recovered from your accident, Chris.

Apparently the horror of going off a cliff has caused you to think you are

an MS-MVP when you aren't. Nor should anyone download files from a website

which hosts pr0n.

Only download software you can validate as uncompromised - in the case

of non-vendor site you have no guarantee that the files are unmodified

or uncompromised. 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
