Problems include: Homepage is not popping up, instead it is a page that is telling me my computer has been hacked and it is telling me to download all this software. I have a pop-up saying that my System performance monitor is at a warning level.

My computer has been affected and my virus scan isnt helping. What should i do?

Hi

Sounds like a Smitfraud infection...

Download a self-extracting copy of HijackThis from :-
http://downloads.mal...ackthis_sfx.exe
1. save it to your Desktop.
2. Double-click on the file hijackthis_sfx.exe and it will self-extract into its own folder,
C:\Program Files\HijackThis
3. Go to this folder and run the hijackthis.exe file
4. click Do a system scan and save a logfile
5. Copy & paste the logfile into a new topic here :-
