In dire need of assistance, believe I contracted some form spyware crippling trojan

[lopeztheheavy]

I've been reading a lot of of some previous threads, and I believe I am having a common issue.

I believe contracted some sort of malware that is preventing me from opening antispyware programs. I've reinstalled many to no avail.

It's generating a program called "Malware Defense." It mimics the Windows Security Update layout and symbol. It has also been popping up Microsoft Internet Explorer windows off screen with commercials running... quite annoying. Windows Security alerts pop up about every 2 mins displaying warnings for "Email-Worm.Win32.NetSky.q," "trojan.win.agent.dcc," and other various files. Not to forget the random shortcuts to various unmentionable sites that have suddenly appeared on my desktop.

I believe I have followed all of the priors, sadly, my system restore was off before today, a sad mistake, and have removed all P2P and antispyware programs.

I greatly appreciate any help for this horrid annoyance.

Thanks, although I've formatted my hard drive at this point, the ultimate fix. I will return if there are any recurring problems

Ok. Thanks for letting us know.
