Hello, This just started today, and I have noticed a few people who have similar problems, one being a new member on here, their thread is at

http://forums.techguy.org/malware-re...e-spyware.html

The wallpaper turns a light blue, says, "Warning: Spyware Threat has been detected on your PC" It says some more, then a link at the bottom that says "click here to scan your pc for spyware..."

Along with this, there are popups imitating Windows Security, and the warning triangle pops up in the clock area, with one of 4 warnings:

"Your computer is infected with spyware"
"Internet attack attempt detected"
"Your Computer is working slowly"
"Your Computer is not protected against spyware..."

Every now and then, a webpage opens, with the title on the top of the screen of "Top Rated Spyware Removers"
Ran Avast, have 4 infections, and can not delete/repair/move
Either win32:Spyware-gen(Tri) or Win32ialer-567(Tri)

Hope that helps.

On windows XP Media Center Edition
Here is a Hijack This log, and thank you for any help.

Hi, Welcome to TSG!!

Please close/disable all anti-virus and anti-malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of SDFix and make sure you are disconnected from the Internet after downloading the program but before extracting the files.

• Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with SDFix and remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
• Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
• Remember to re-enable the protection again afterwards before connecting to the Internet.

Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter
• Choose your usual account.

• Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
• Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
• It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to reboot.
• Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
• When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
• Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
  (Report.txt will also be copied to the clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
• Finally paste the contents of the Report.txt back on the forum with a new HijackThis log

[tweedle]

Here are the reports, Sorry about not replying sooner, I have been on the road lately, and hopefully these help.

Thanks again.

[cybertech]

How is it running now? Any problems?

[tweedle]

It is running better, still random pop-ups, and everytime i go online after its been off, i get a warning from avast saying it found a trojan, but cannot move or delete it because the file is in use. should I try doing another anti-virus scan and ad-aware scan?

[cybertech]

Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading and running ComboFix.

Post the log from ComboFix when you've accomplished that, along with a new HijackThis log.

[tweedle]

Before running combofix, it wants me to install the Windows Recovery Console, but there is no option for windows XP media center edition, only Home or Pro. Should I go with the home edition?

Thanks again.

[cybertech]

Media center is normally based on XP pro NOT home so select PRO.

[tweedle]

Alright, ACTUALLY, my computer froze, i restarted it, and its saying a startup file is missing or corrupt, so tomorrow its getting takin in to be repaired, all my documents will be transfered onto an external hard drive, then i will do a restore when I get it back

Thanks for all your help though

[cybertech]

Thanks for letting me know.
