This happened to me last night after going to a serial site which was a big mistake. I now have something on my pc that brings up pop up windows with pornographic website advertising and also navigates from current pages that I'm browsings (just posting this is a challenge!!) There is also a red circle with a white cross on my system tray and an error keeps coming up saying
"Your windows is corrupted with spyware virus
You must patch your PC urgently to protect your system
Private info is accessed by ports
-8080
-3128
"
When I click ok, it takes me to a website with various spyware removal programs, I have tried more than one, Xspy, AntiSpy and a few others, which didn't work and i've uninstalled most. I did what the introduction thread on this forum said and downloaded, installed and ran ad-ware. It removed 53 items but after I rebooted the same problem occured. I share this pc and I am scared to let the younger ones near it for the images are horrific!!
This is the log, after I used Ad-ware
Guys any help would be greatly appreciated, I understand you are busy and will be patient. Thankyou so much in advance.
