I really don't recall when I contracted the "Virus" or if I even have a virus. Although pop-ups and baloons show up continuously with warnings of Spyware.Cyberlog-X, Malware threat warnings etc. Also, my homepage has been compromised with another with a url that reads http://securitypills.com. What are these? And is there a difference between iexplore and iexplorer? Evidently, the back door trojan is letting these in via C:\program files\inter..\iexplore.exe. Please help me. My son was on "Thomas the Tank Engine" website playing a harmless game, when suddenly, BAM! An advertisement for porn pops up! He's only 6!

dear lyn ,the false microsoft thing could mean you got an unregistered copy of microsoft from whoever you bought from.i used to have same problem so took the computer to dealer who istalled regestered copy of microsoft at cost of the package and havent seen it since.get genuine is a message from microsoft because it recognises the unreg copy.

macafee got rid of my backdoor trojans . initialy the 2 files they were on wouldnt be cleaned automatically but after a scan identified them i had to delete the files.if this dosnt work then quarantine them and delete them from the quarantine.the files that they are on usually cant be saved.

Ok, I am completely helpless when it comes to this whole backdoor Trojan topic. My desktop computer was infected with this apparently and I am not sure what to do. I am about 90% sure I got it off of limwire--which I subsequently deleted off of my laptop--and downloaded McAfee to get rid of it. It was going fine, but when I tried getting onto the google hompage a few days later, the pop-ups and false Microsoft warnings happened. Any advice would be amazing!!!!

The above article was really informative..but unfortunately i read it a bit too late..I am confident now that my pc is infected with some sort of back door trojan.
I belive it got into my pc when i was tryin to download a flash player to view a naughty online video..
but i've learnt my lesson. As u havent mentioned any other option other than to format i guess i'll have to do that..I tried doin all the things..the instructions u ppl gave in "
read this before postin a hijackthis log"...like download n running AVG spyware n super antispyware but i still think its there coz sometimes when i use yahoo messenger, some crap is automatically typed n sent to the one i'm chattin with or sending an off-liner...
Now can u plz tell me if its enough to just format Hard disk C or the entire pc..
