spyware scan and Internet Security 2010

theGrinch

Hello,

A number of spyware programs have attached themselves to my pc over the weekend; most notably "Internet Security 2010"

I have googled ways to resolve this and read the sticky at the top of this forum.

I have tried ad ware, malaware byte and symantec but its still there regardless.

Any help much appreciated. The effects are my pc seems to be running slower, programs are not opening and pops up are repeatedly shown for IS 2010

download and run "Remove Fake Antivirus" from http://download.cnet.com/Remove-Fake-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10915342.html and that should sort it out

as I understand it, this may find malware but not remove it unless you pay, is this correct

Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')

Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds

reboot
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')

Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE(Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

No. It will remove it.

Hitman Pro offers you a Free Scan for a second opinion. It is designed to check if your security measures work. If nothing is found (and we sincerely hope so), then you will never need a license. When a virus is found, then you will receive a free 30-day license to remove the threat.
