Trojan Virus, key loggers

I agree with some posts above. YOU ARE INFECTED.

REMOVE YOUR COMPUTER FROM THE INTERNET (read unplug that ethernet cable)
DO NOT VISIT YOUR BANK'S WEBSITE
DO NOT CHECK YOUR EMAIL.
DO NOT PASS GO.

I am a fan of keeping my important documents in one folder (preferable with a backup copy daily). Wipe the computer and start from scratch. Scan your folder of documents for viruses from a verified clean computer and then move on with that fresh install. Once compromised, always compromised. Your infected computer can never be trusted again. That's just my opinion, (but it IS also my job).

I had it a few weeks ago. I used a program called jv16 PowerTools 2009 to remove it and clean the registry

I'll have my son come fix this mess. Until then I'll go with the lap top.

He's my go to computer guy.

My son's computer had this a few weeks ago. Malicious little bugger.

The Mozilla Firefox browser works great things load faster. I have Norton 360 premier edition no problems with pop ups of any kind.

This is a link to a very good anti-malware scanner. The full (pay) version gives you realtime protection, scheduled scanning, and scheduled updating. I use the free version and just check for updates run a scan from time to time...sort of like PC preventative maintenance.

Malwarebytes.org

Try HiJackThis, now owned by TrendMicro:

it'll populate a list of all software running, and what type of object they are, so you can take the log to someone more knowledgeable and they can go from there.

Malwarebytes should take care of it, but you should do it in safe mode and make sure it's updated to the latest definitions.

I'd like to find the guy this came from and have a little talk with him.

Check out this link: Fake Windows Security Center Removal (How to remove Fake Windows Security Center) | Malware Help. Org

If the screen shots on that page look familiar, follow the steps to remove the malware.

I'm beginning to have difficulty telling my friendly software from the creeps. They all want money, hummmmm... "They all make a profit from the same problem...

I've said that many a time myself. Here's something that might be an easy fix....

avast! - Download antivirus software for spyware and virus protection

Download and install the free home edition. When the installer has finished, its going to ask if you want to do a boot time scan....do that. It'll catch the bugger before it has a chance to load itself at Windows start up.

I had a nasty trojan/rootkit once, and this killed it when nothing else would. It had even installed itself on my second hard drive, so that when I did a clean install, it just re-infected it!
