I've gone to a few friends of mine which tried to help me but with no success. I've scanned over and over again with AVG Free 8.0, and AdAware, and nothing but a few tracking cookies show up. And I've tried restarting and it does nothing at when I get back on. It also seems to make the popups open allot when I open my C:\ drive, so it's not just on IExplorer, it's on my whole system. Theres also another problem with IExplorer where when I load pages it not only makes but popup open but it forces most pages I try to open to go to about:blank which seems to be changed to a page telling me to get spyware which leads to the same place as the popups trying to get me to download the ieav.exe file. Below are some screen shots of the popup and the about blank page, along with a text version of the popup. Please someone help me. I spend most of my time online doing work so I really can't afford for this to happen. Thanks Here is a picture of the popup message: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2720/screen02ol0.jpg And here is a picture of the "about:blank" page that was "changed" to get me to download ieav.exe http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/2720/screen02ol0.jpg I'm not able to attach a HJT log because I'm not on the infected pc. It's just impossible to do anything web related on that thing. Here is a text version of the popup if the image isn't clear: =========================================================================== System Error! Attention, User! Some dangerous trojan horses detected in your system. Microsoft Windows XP file corruped. This may lead to the destruction of important files in C:\WINDOWS. Download protection software now! Click OK to download the antispyware. (Recommended) YES NO =========================================================================== Pretty much the same problem as this accept there were no replies to that post so thats why I'm making a new one. http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/System-Erro...up-t201487.html Please someone help soon, I realy need this fixed fast. Just let me know what more info you need in order to help me get rid of this. Thank you. -Squibsy |
