Ok so, I have Norton Anti virus 2007, and today, it detected a trojan virus, but it supposedly blocked and quarantined it. After that, i noticed that windows security center was not working, and all it was doing was showing a red shield with a white x on the system tray, and when i put my cursor over it it says "Your computer is infected !" and every now and then a little talk box pops up and says that my computer has been infected with spyware that has effected the registry.
When I click the red shield icon (both left and right click) it comes up with a window titled "question" and says "Would you like to update your security software and install Registry Cleaner?" and all i can do is click yes or no. If i click no, the window goes away, and nothing else happens, if I click yes, it installs registry cleaner v3.2, and i can scan it, but i can't delete any of the files unless i buy the full version.
First i started by performing a full system scan with Norton Antivirus, which came up with nothing I have run spybot, ad-aware, spysweeper, etc., i also used a program i have called Registry Mechanic, and none of the above fixed the problem.
After searching the internet for about 3 hours, i found HijackThis and ran it.
I would GREATLY appreciate it if somebody could help me fix this (the only other thing i can think of is windows restore, but I really don't want to have to resort to that)
