Uninstall ALL versions of Sun Java. Latest version is in my sig, get trojan remover and rogue remover in my sig as well.

Update both then click on scan. Then select all options, under the utilities menu in trojan remover.

Then install an AV program and a firewall.

Looks like Ultimate Defender is rogue software. Rogue remover should remove it.

622589 2007-12-18 22:49:00 Hey Speedy. The Java link in your sig takes you to the Java download page which could be confusing. Maybe your link should take you to this page.

622590 2007-12-18 22:54:00 Did you have an issue with svchost.exe rumba? Or did you just think it was suspicious? svchost is a windows app that runs other apps. I'm just wondering what help you actually wanted with it, or if you did. Thebananamonkey (7741)
622591 2007-12-18 22:58:00 Hey Speedy. The Java link in your sig takes you to the Java download page which could be confusing. Maybe your link should take you to this page.

Good idea, I've changed it :)
Speedy Gonzales (78)
622592 2007-12-18 23:00:00 Thank you for the help Speedy, but it hasn't worked yet. I'm re-doing the steps. xD

And I read about about scvchost, apparently that is the bad one and the good one is scYchost? *Shrug*
The real problem is UltimateDefender, guess I should of put that in the title. 'Doh!

Edit : I've also noticed it won't let me go to the control pannel / edit user accounts.
Is this conncected?

EDIT : And sorry, my bad I missed the V on my title but not in my post.
Rumba (13183)
622593 2007-12-18 23:04:00 Did u tick ALL of the entries I posted?? And get trojan remover as well? Speedy Gonzales (78)
622594 2007-12-18 23:16:00 Yep I got Trojan Remover, although it stopped halfway last time I did it.
I'm trying again now and seems to be working.
And the yellow triangle went after I hovered over it.

OK, now I did a full Trojan Remover scan.
Then it restarted my comp, but the triangle is still there.

Would it be easier to just download UltimateDefender and just remove it, as there are ways to?

And Rogue Remover says its removed it, but when I do another scan it comes up again.

Edit :

I get a windows-type popup saying :

Windows Security Alert

Warning! Potential Spyware Operation!
Your computer is making unauthorized copies of your system and Internet files. Run full scans now to pervent unauthorized any access to your files! Click here to download spyware remover ...

(Note, pervet is not a typo xD)
Rumba (13183)
622595 2007-12-18 23:23:00 See if Ultimate defender is in add/remover programs uninstall it. If its there.

And no you dont want to download it, its crap.

622596 2007-12-18 23:33:00 This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.


^ I get that message when I try to get to Control pannel or RUN any of the control pannel..Sub-sections on RUN.

And I actually haven't got Ultimate Defender, isn't that link you gave for if you downloaded it?
