699389 2008-08-22 15:53:00 Sorry for the test topic, but whatever is on my computer isn't letting me post on forums as well it seems . . . just resets my connection everytime . I tried to get this through so many times, you wouldn't believe it . . . got surprised the test topic actually got posted, was sort of a desperate attempt . Once again, excuses .

What I did before my computer got 'hit'

I was on a (previously) trusted torrent site, tried to download a torrent, got redirected to one of those sites that needed you to wait a few seconds before the download link appears, clicked on it and suddenly my computer became slow as hell . . . before I realized something popped up calling itself "windows xp virus scanner" and telling me to click install .
Of course I ignored it, but the computer was so slow I decided to just hit the reset button .

The problems

Once I got back into windows, the desktop has a Warning! Spyware detected on your computer! install an antivirus or spyware remover to clean your computer block . Then further down it shows two detected files: "Warning! win32/adware . virtumonde detected on your computer"

and

"Warning! win32/privacyremover . m64 detected on your computer"

It looks like the interface of an antivirus program, but it's imprinted in my desktop, so I guess sort of a wallpaper rather than something real . The rest of the desktop is now white . Also, popups appeared and when I idle for a while, I get this (luckily, it turns out it's only a screensaver): a blue screen with the following warning: "A problem has been detected and windows will restart to prevent damage to your computer" . The screen then turns black and proceeds to show the exact same rebooting screens as when you reboot Windows XP .

I went on to reboot in safe mode and scan the computer with avg spyware 7 . 5 . After deletion of 110 tracking cookies, I booted back into windows to download the latest version of spybot for another scan . . . unfortunately, all its sites seem down and when I tried to install the older version I still had on my computer, it couldn't connect to the site for the install???
An awful lot of other sites I usually go to for problem solving seem to not connect as well, they just give me an "unable to connect" page immediately . It doesn't even try to connect, as if normally happens when you're working offline or your internet is down . Can't enter any site I googled with "antispyware" in its link name either and can not enter hijackthis . nl either .

Whatever is on my computer couldn't possibly have a list of wellknown spyware removal sites which it blocks you from entering them could it???

699394 2008-08-22 21:59:00 I was on a (previously) trusted torrent site, tried to download a torrent, got redirected to one of those sites


Tut, tut. No such thing as trusted torrents.
For one thing, never mind the torrent site itself, where do you think all these files come from? Someone elses infested PC most likely.

And second you should have all your anti-spyware already installed, not try to get them after the infections have occurred.

Apart from what Speedy has said, make sure you have at least 2 antispyware programs installed, update them at least once a fortnight and scan at least twice a week.

Spybot
Spyware Terminator
Superantispyware

are 3 of the better free ones.

Thanks for the reply and your help.

Before I do anything, I see you have taken out a few lines from my hijackthis log. What do you want me to do with that?

And removing the file you're telling me: is it as simple as going to that particular directory and delete it? Or is your explenation and advice on downloading and running the programs you mentioned further down meant to tell me how to get rid of that file?

I should have included into the post that I am no computer expert, nor do I deal with this stuff regularly... so basically, I need to be told what to do to the point :(
Tensai (14108)
699396 2008-08-22 22:11:00 You tick the entries I posted, then tick fix checked. Like what I said in the post

NO, dont delete the folders, you'll make things worse

Go to control panel / add or remove programs, find the entry then uninstall the program

The files / links I gave will scan your system to see if there's anything nasty on it. And Avast is better than AVG as an Anti virus program

And if the my computer icon is on the desktop / right mouse on it / properties. Go to the system restore tab FIRST, and tick turn off system restore

699397 2008-08-22 22:42:00 I have just:

-uninstalled symantec from the add-remove

-disabled system restore

-closed browsers

-ran hjt, checked the lines you told me to, fixed them

-rebooted

The desktop has turned from white to blue, with that fake warning thing still imprinted in it.

Internet speed seems to be back though.

I could not delete the file you told me to, says it's in use.

What now?
Tensai (14108)
699398 2008-08-22 22:45:00 Never mind, after the reboot, I tried again. That file is gone now. Should I reboot to check if the desktop is back to normal yet? Tensai (14108)
