OK a friend of mine told me about this website, said you have helped him in the past ... so i come to you BEGGING for help!

Ok so to start ... i just reformatted my pc ( old roomate was a bit of porn newbie )
surfed random porn sites you find anywhere ... bad ROOMY ... so i reformatted

( i will say this now i am not a newb, but also not a pro )

Ok I finished installing my drivers and such and continued installed applications i use ( i am a gamer ) ... i then was going to watch a video that i saw when i searched google, it told me i was missing "ActiveX Controller" which i believed, and prompted to start installing ... yay ... will it went through a new stup process i wasnt use too ... but i let it go through ...

Immediately after i got an error

EXACT ERROR: *****************************

Servere Error!
Your system is infected with dangerous virus! ( nice grammar )
Note: Strongly recommend to install antispyware program to clean your system and avord total crash of your comptuer!

Click ok to download the antispyware. (Recommended)

[ OK ] [ Cancel ]

End error ***************************************

clicking ok or cancel doesn't do anything ... just removed the box

so I go to google and search for "Myspace" ( example ) i get results, first is site i am looking for, below that is error pretty much saying same thing as above ( and this is actually populating on GOOGLES search page ... ( below that is a YouTube porn link )

No matter WHAT link i click on ( myspace, world of warcrack, teletubbies ) it pulls up to the website http://online-malwarescanner.com/id/4912933/1/1/

So i searched this website and there are several links saying down load this to remove ... YA RIGHT ... I found some random forums that said trying SPYBOT ... which i have downloaded and ran multiple times and do not find anything wrong ...

I found 1 website that gave some registry keys to look for, and some processes to search for ... and even some files to search for ... i have looked for them all ... HELP?

PLEASE ... thanks

Hi, You've been infected with a trojan, most likely from the Smitfraud type family, there are many that produce the popup security prompts to download a program...these are fake, rogue apps and charge you $30 or so after they "find" tons of crap on your computer...don't fall victim to these!

I suggest you first do this, as these trojans can be bundled with other, unseen malware:

Let's have you post a log from Hijackthis and maybe we can spot anything out of place:
go to Click here to download HJTsetup.exe

• On that page, click the icon
• at lower right , and follow the prompts to get the installer version
• Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
• Double click on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
• By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
• Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Additional Tasks dialogue.
• Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
• Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
• At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then save the log and then the log will open in Notepad.
• Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
• Paste the log in your next reply.
• Don't use the Analyse This button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
• DO NOT have Hijack This fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Please also do this:

• Open Hijack This and click on the "Open the Misc Tools section" button.
• Click on the "Open Uninstall Manager" button.
• Click the "Save List" button. After you click the "Save List" button, you will be asked where to save the file. Pick a place to save it then the list should open in notepad.
• Copy and paste that list here in your reply
