I got a virus as I was tricked into downloading a file that is now an icon called "PERSONAL ANTIVIRUS' the virus attacks windows only...firefox works ok..I ran AVG and it still is there,,anytime I get on a website using windows a page with a message comes up saying I am infected and I need to buy PERSONAL ANTIVIRUS package for 59.95...it looks dodgy ...then messages appears saying......"V32.Ackantta.B@mm is a mass mailing worm that gathers email addrss from the compromised computer and spreads by copying itself to removable drives and shared folders"....if i click on that message it brings me to a page looking for a credit cad number..... has anyone any idea how I get rid of this???Thank you in advance
 
Hi Eamonx

Click here to download HJTInstall.exe
  • Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  • Click on Install.
  • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
  • DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
