Dear all, Kindly help me to deal with this problem
Yesterday I began to experience my first malware attack. I run windows xp pro with avira personal virus protection. My problems in some detail are as follows:
My desktop wallpaper has been replaced with a red screen that contains the following message: "Warning your computer is under attack. Your computer is infected by anonymous spyware program.
Operating system has several fatal errors due to spyware activity. It is strongly recommended to install anti-spyware software to eliminate all security vulnerabilities. Click HERE to protect your PC".
The word HERE in the above statement is a link to http://antispyspider.us/130 When I go to the Desktop tab in the Display Properties Box I find a new background, "index". The mini icon preceding it is an Internet Explorer icon.
I get two types of system warning popups that appear every few minutes although the rate varies. The first is a fairly large box that is centered in the middle of the screen. It will have a title and a text component. There are three versions of the message that are displayed randomly.
Title: "Spyware activity is found on your computer." Text: "Your privacy settings are compromised. It is highly recommended to install antispyware solution."
Title: "Your system is working slowly." Text: "It is recommended to update your antispyware protection to prevent data loss. Please update most up to date antispyware for you.
Title "Your computer is not protected against spyware.: Text: "Somebody trying to access to your PC and collect privacy information. Download antispware applications."
Whenever I click the close box arrow an Internet Explorer window will open that takes me to http://antispyspider.us/130
The other variety of popup is a smaller box just above he small process icons at the far right of the task bar. A new icon appears. A yellow triangle with an black exclamation point. A small box with a drop pointer to the icon presents three messages that are displayed randomly.
Title: "Windows Security Manager." Text: "Your computer is running slow due to malware activity."
Title: "Windows Security Error." Text: "Windows has detected spyware."
Title: "Windows Defender." Text: "Internet attack attempt detected."
When ever I click the close box arrow an Internet Explorer window will open that takes me to http://antispyspider.us/130
I have scanned my entire system with my anti virus program e-trust and also with spyware terminator. But no use.
Thanks for any guidance in dealing with this situaion.
