Ok, I went to this site, downloaded a download, ran the installer and then it added all these weird shortcuts to my desktop. Including something dealing with speed up my PC and smileys. I uninstalled it right away and then removed the shortcuts to the sites.
Well, Firefox stopped responding. So when I restarted it, it had a new addon installed. I removed that right away. My hijack this log is in the attachment and if you want to examine the file, go here, hXXp://www.appleblossomart.net/XPStyles/Pink-Love-XPStyles.htm. Be warned that the site also has javascript coding that’s malware. Be sure to have NoScript! Well, can you examine my hijack this logfile?
After I erased all of that, I went on WOT (Web Of Trust) and typed in the address. Well, it was rated yellow and two comments were saying it was a virus. So I added my comment about what happened. There is also something strange because now I can’t go to YouTube. That’s what made me suspicious. If you want I can download the installer file again and send it to Alwil.
But I still feel worried because it had something like spy in the addon. I can’t remember the addon’s name (sorry about that) and I might try Internet Explorer for the addon. But I don’t know how to tell if a addon was installed in Internet Explorer or not because Firefox was looking like Firefox. All I wanted was a Vista style so my computer would look a little more like vista but I guess that plan failed.
Any advice plus why didn’t Avast! detect the sites on my desktop and the software as suspicious? Should I try Malwarebytes’ Antimalware and SuperAntiSpyware? Do I have hidden processes that Avast! didn’t alert? Will my computer be ok if I restart? Thanks for your advice if you reply!
