Hi,
I'm using XP and have recently had problems. I think something has downloaded on to my pc and I can't get rid of it. Tried using AVG, Adaware and Spybot but with no luck.
The symptoms:
1) 3 unidentified objects in the desktop toolbar (where the time is). The objects are a yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it, a red circle with a white cross in it and a red circle with a white exclamation mark in it. They have these annoying speech bubble pop ups, like other xp programmes, that say something like you are "Protect your computer from viruses. You need to use antivirus software.". One of the speech bubble pop ups says my pc is infected with iworm.attck.v122.02a. When I click on these symbols they link to:
http://www.antivirus-gold.com/?wm=&swm=
http://www.psguard.com/?aff=9&sub=0
and a site selling regfreeze
2) The desktop background has changed to black with writing saying "Warning - You're in danger" and then goes on to say how I should protect my computer.
3) When I shut down i get a quick flash which i think says I have a page fault but it disappears so quickly i can't get the code or any info.
I would really appreciate your help to get my pc working normally again.
