SORRY FOR THE LONG POST BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU SPEND SOME OF YOUR TIME WITH THIS.
Hello…Professionals.
2 Weeks ago, my McAfee Security center license expired.
Like many, I look for a free alternative. Looked up top rated anti-virus software. I found Avast!
(dont worrie, this wount be my life story)
So
only a day later, Avast! detects a Trojan, it had the name Win32:???[trj] I ask it to move it to chest, , then, from there, every day I would get the same warning message over and over, different name, sometimes it would say [Morphine]/[UPX]
I scanned my computer, it found nothing, I tried aloooot of things.
after a couple of days, I got this PopUp for WinAntiVirus2007. I knew it was a scam, so I didnt even bother to read anything and I got in a state of panic “how did I get a non-browser popup…I just used my credit card 10 days ago…etc”
I added the site to the URL blocked list. … . The popup still comes of cource, around once every 5 hours…I think only when I am working on it (Perhaps it gets some of the keywords I type…?)
I did some research, turned off system restore, deleted temporary files (IE and non IE) …
Then I did the Windows Live OneCare online scan. I heared it finds things better than anything,
It found 2. I dont remember the names unfortunatly.
I “removed” them…
Next day, I am scanning my computer with Avast! and it finds the Win32…etc… Now…still in Local~/Temp
I went there, tried to delete everything, one of the .tmp files was unable to be deleted because a program is “using it”
–
Now, I just scanned my computer with the online OneCare scanner again, and it found nothing…I didnt have that popup for more than 20 hours…I finally thought it was gone…
But JUST NOW I had it!!!
Forgot to mention, I have used these programs:
[NEW means I got it after the virus was detected]
AdAware SE Free edition
SpyBot S&D
Spyware Blaster
Avast! Free Ed. (yes, updated) [Semi-New]
AVG anti-spyware 2007 - Trial [New] {detected 3 viruses, but they were in archives that were never extracted or never used}
AdAware 2007 [New]
and others that such as firefox extensions…etc
Like I said, I did some Research; I know now that every situation is a little different, and I know that for you to help me I’ll have to download some things like HiJackThis. Which is downloading now…I’ll edit this soon.
THANK YOU.
{even if you don’t help}
