Constant pop-ups - Worm.Win32.Netsky
Hi, I am running Windows XP Home Version 2002 Service Pack 2 and as per title above, my PC has a couple of spyware alerts and Windows Security Alerts ("Windows has detected an Internet attack attempt", etc...) that seem to be on a constant loop, the main one being a security warning re: the Netsky worm. I have performed the suggested Steps 1-5 in your forum with the exception of Step 2. After a couple of hours (dial-up speed) of installing the Active-X controls and performing the Panda activescan, Internet Explorer decided to shut down (which is typical at the moment in my PC's current state, most of the time it won't even open). IE will also start automatically from time to time. I have installed the two spyware programs (spyware blaster & ie-spyad), DSS and HyjackThis and have attached the Extra.txt doc to this thread for assessment. I appreciate any help you could provide to clean these infections from my machine.
Many thanks,
Brocky
