"Warning spyware threat has been detected on your pc" problem

edwardo622 · 06-01-2008, 07:56 PM

I got the "Warning spyware threat has been detected on your pc" malware or whatever it is. I tried running smitfraudfix but it was unable to delete a temp file (c:...locals 1\temp\~DF75D1.tmp).

Heres the Hijackthis file, any help would be great.

Hello edwardo, 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,
