wowie, on Tuesday August 26, 2008 02:31:55 AM
Hello,


I am new here. I would like to stop windows security warning in popping up always and telling i need to download anti-spyware because everytime i cick it, eset nod32 will have a warning that i am downloaidng a trojan file. it repeats again and again. so what i'm doing is close the windows security warning pop-up but i cant do it every minute. what do i do?

the windows security warning says:

"warning! your computer is infected! windows has detected spyware infection! it is recommended to use special anti-spyware tools to "pervent" data loss. Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you. click here to protect your computer from spyware!"....

hi my friend,

its not windows message but rather a spyware which is doing that and what i would advice you is not to download the file but better download a spyware removal tool which you will get here itself on the forum do a clean scan and it must be alright after.

I'm actually going through the same problem, and using Norton anti-virus, and spy-subtract spyway has failed to get rid of the pop-up box. Any suggestions?

Guys, I just had a client with this problem, and it's fairly nasty. Fortunately, a website I rely on heavily has a step by step solution to this spyware problem.

Just go here:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic133694.html

and read the 2nd forum post which has instructions. I can confirm that the software "Combofix" is legitimate as I've used it twice to clean infected computers.

Hi, I now have this same thing - notice mispelled words "pervent" and "recomended" earmarks of spyware. probably originated in another country. Most code-geeks are meticulous spellers, else their code wouldn't work.
ANYWAY - Isn tthere a free fix? If I pay for this STOPZilla thing, is it really going to work?

I managed to get rid of the pop-up box ("your computer is infected! yaddah, yaddah) but my system has been totally SLOOOWWWW ever since the ordeal. I downloaded Spybot S&D and ran Windows defender, both of which told me to delete a whole list of sh*t, which I, like a good user, did so without question. SO why is my system now like moalsses. Do I still have the problem, only its running invisibly? Help.....my recreational surfing is suffering.

try doing a google search for free AVG, make sure the download is from the Grisoft website, AVG can find ALOT of things and I had your problem with a new machine and quickly fixed it with AVG, be sure to get the free version bte because the trial versions of net security and so on only last about 30 whereas avg free edition is indefinate and offers strictly virus and email scanning and removal.

Malwarebytes anti-malware solved the problem for me.

My friend has the same problem is having the same problem with his computer. I have used McAffee, Webroot's Spy Sweeper, and PCcillin, and all have failed.

i am working on a friends computer that has the same problem. I have used mcafee and adaware to try to clean up the computer but it has not been successful. At first the spyware had made setting changes that made the task manager inoperable so that pressing alt control delete would just bring up a box saying that i didn't have administrative priveleges to access the task manager. After multiple scans from mcafee i was able to fix the task manager problem but it still tells me when i make changes to the computer such as disabling start up services on msconfig that i dont have admistrative rights to make the changes. Another perplexinging thing is that somehow the spyware has disable the active scanning engine of macafees and everytime i try to manually start the scanning engine it says that things are wrong with macafee but i have already done a full reinstall of macafee but the spyware has disable this component of the antivirus and when i run adaware it finds nothing. Any thoughts or suggestions on what i should do to fix this problem?
The specs for the computer are pentium 4 windows xp with all windows updates and i have been using a totally up to date macafee antivirus suite and the most up to date adaware.

OK I got the solution.

My laptop just got infected. The message is this (note the mis-spelling):

----------
Your computer is infected!
Windows has detected spyware infection.
It is recomended to use special antispyware tools to pervent data loss.
Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you.
Click here to protect your computer from spyware.
----------

I tried McAffe, Ad-ware, Spybot, AVG ==> NOTHING WORKS.

Then, I used Malwarebytes it is now removed ==> IT WORKS!!!!
