Privacy Protector, Error Cleaner, and Spyware&Malware Protection
Hi,
Some malware is embedded in my computer. It has messed with my ability to access my drives and has put phony shortcuts on my desktop called "Privacy Protector", "Error Cleaner", and "Spyware&Malware Protection". I also keep getting false windows security alerts saying "Windows has detected an internet attack attempt... Somebody's trying to infect your PC with spyware or harmful viruses. Run full system scan now . . ." and "Spyware Alert - Security Warning! Worm.Win32.NetBooster detected on your machine. This virus is distributed via the Internet through e-mail and Active-X objects. The worm has its own SMTP engine which means it gathers e-mails . . .". It has also taken over my Internet Explorer and keeps trying to open the site virus-webscanner.com/2008/2/freescan.php. I tried to perform the 5 Step Process recommended by your forum but Panda ActiveScan keeps giving me an error and saying try back later. I also cannot update Windows, as my Internet Explorer keeps giving false messages and errors when I try to download Windows updates.
Would greatly appreciate your help.
