Hello.
There has been a recurring virus ever since i downloaded an "Active X" thing. I use Avira and at the beginning of my computer start, i recieve a message that there is a virus in my computer. Whether i click delete or access deny or nothing at all, here's what happens: -Avira Popped up: Here's what it said: A virus or unwanted program was found! What should happen with the file? C:\Documents and Settings\"myuser"\...\tmp6.tmp Contains detection pattern of the VBS script virus VBS/Click.A Then it gives me options that do nothing. I always click "delete" 1. A "Windows Security Alert" Window will show up. Here's what it says: Windows has detected an Internet attack attempt... Somebody's trying to infect your PC with spyware or harmful viruses. Run full system scan now to protect your PC from Internet attacks, hijacking attempts and spyware! Click here to download spyware remover for total protection. Whether you clikc the ok or the [x], it leads you to a site on IE that doesnt work: http://privacy.securepccleaner.com/M.../574-ERROR404/ it says: 0 unable to connect to DB 2. a "spyware alert" will pop up: Security warning! Trojan.W32.Looksky detected on your machine. This virus is distributed via the internet through Internet and Active-X object... Click here to delete it! Then here it shows specs which i forget. It does say virus danger level: 5 After that, the cycle repeats and there is a flashing x in my little quick programs thing in the lower right corner with avira icon and stuff. it flashes and says some warnings. When i click on it to remove it or whatever, no menu pops up and nothing happens. It's to the right of comodo. Please send me help! I need to fix this. It's hard to concentrate when it pops up every 5 seconds. Thank you!Also: a "yourprivacyguard" thing pops up that says a bunch of stuff then says click ok to remove stuff. I never press ok because i don't know if i should. Please advise! Last edited by Kevin He; 10-04-2007 at 08:46 PM. |

Re: XP Support: Virus
Hello Kevin He, Welcome to TSF!
![]() I recommend that you read this article, "Having problems with spyware and pop-ups? - First Steps"; follow the instructions very carefully; then, post all the requested logs and information; as instructed, in the HiJackThis Log Help Forum. (Simply, click on the coloured links to be re-directed.) Please ensure that you create a new thread in the HiJackThis Log Help Forum; not back here in this one. When carrying out The 5 Steps, if you cannot complete any of them for whatever reason, just continue on with the next one until they are all completed. However,it is extremely important to make mention of the fact that you could not complete any of the steps in your post to The HJT Help Forum; where an Analyst will assist you with other workarounds. Once done, please be patient, as the Security Team Analysts are usually very busy; one of them will answer your request as soon as they can. Good Luck with it. Kind Regards,
