| 791175 | 2009-07-13 03:07:00 | Dont worry about the malicious software removal tool. Avast will probably be better. Do another scan with malwarebytes, after you reboot. Did you delete the entry for system security in startup, with ccleaner? What error is appearing in the windowsupdate window if there's one? Why the updates wouldnt install. Scan the whole hdd with Avast as well. Malwarebytes maybe picking things up in the registry, not whats on the hdd itself |

| 791176 | 2009-07-13 03:08:00 | I suggest you disable System Restore to prevent re-infection. Right Click My Computer>properties>Advanced System Settings>System Restore Tab Only re-enable when you're sure there is nothing left.. Blam |

| 791177 | 2009-07-13 04:03:00 | Just finished installing SP1 rebooted note came up saying avast has been turned off, went into windows security center found that windows defender is install and swiched on. Do I need to uninstall W/D or can I just turn it off? | rebels181 (14841) | ||
| 791178 | 2009-07-13 04:06:00 | Disable windows defender, click on it in control panel / tools / options. Scroll down to admin options and untick use windows defender. Dont forget to disable system restore as well. Till you remove that rogue software Once this is removed update to SP2 |

| 791179 | 2009-07-13 04:27:00 | Ok just a quick recap System restore, W/D have been disabled. Had a look in ccleaner startup couldn't find any ref to System Security or 05643921.exe install.exe (I think it uses numbers for exe files) So scan HDD with avast. |

| 791180 | 2009-07-13 04:31:00 | Yup scan the whole hdd. If you want me to check it out (if its on the net), get teamviewer (www.teamviewer.com) install it run it. Send me a PM with the login and password. So I can connect, give me access, and I'll check it out. Dont worry you'll see what I'm doing | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 791181 | 2009-07-13 04:39:00 | Funny you should say that, an icon came on the task bar not long ago, yup teamviewer I think its already on here. | rebels181 (14841) | ||
| 791182 | 2009-07-13 04:42:00 | Is it the latest version?? If it is send me a PM if you like with the id and password its showing. Are you on dialup or broadband? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 791183 | 2009-07-13 05:34:00 | Right. Checked the system out using teamviewer. Looks good now. Updated Mbam, did another scan - clean. Avast was turned off in control panel, stopped it then turned it back on that brought it back to life. Now scanning with Avast and will reboot when finished. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 791184 | 2009-07-13 08:56:00 | Scan all clear,Rebooted, Turned on system restore, downloading SP2, avast couldn't scan 14 files C:\Program files\CA Yahoo! Anti-Spy\Quarantine\20090710110624.zip\0 ,thru to .zip\13 .I'm guessing I don't need to worry about these. The infection came from an E-mail, What can be done to stop this from happening again? Thanks again for your help:thanks |
