My laptop was infected with the Fraud.windowsrecovery malware. I ran an updated Spybot scan to identify and remove it; S&D created a backup of Fraud.windowsrecovery but won't let me purge this backup? I got this message: Cannot create File C:\program\data\spybot Search & Destroy recovery overview.ini Access is denied. I'm afraid it's still on my computer?
When I shut down; at the last possible second I see something ominous--either a pop-up with some Asian writing or a little robot with x's for eyes and a tongue sticking out--both making me very nervous.
I was able to unhide my files but unable to back them up on a DVD--suddenly my Windows Media Player is not working.
If it helps--I'm using Vista Home Premium as my OS, my browser is Google Chrome.
I'd really appreciate any help or advice you can provide; thanks in advance. Please be very specific as I'm not experienced with any of this.
