I keep getting these messages about a Critical System Error or
SYSTEM ALERT: MALWARE THREATS
Your computer is infected with a back door Trojan that allows the remote
attacker to perform various malicious actions. Click the baloon to download
malware removal software...
but the thing is I've downloaded run so many programs (Windows Live OneCare,
AT&T Yahoo! Online Protection - Anti Spy & Anti Virus), that keep telling me
I'm clean and good to go, but yet I'm still receiving this message. IS there
something I can do? |

You ve still got the malware - but the malware is the program asking you to
download the protection - by downloading the protection your just installing
even more malware.
Your going to have to download Hijack This,
AVG anti virus
SpyBot Search and Destroy
Ad Aware
probably in that order - thankfully viruses'no-adays don't infect other
executables (as a often as in the old days) so you will be safe downloading
and installing, the problem is that your malware is probably going to make it
hard for you to install the new Security software. this is where hijack this
comes to play.
You will need to reboot into safemode and run hijackthis (after you
downloaded it) and start deleting registry entries that pertain to something
starting up that shouldn't.
You should also look around for the files that the registry entries piont to
and delete them. - note this is not for the novice at heart, so If you have
afriend that has a better idea about computers then get them to help.
Once you think you have deleted the right entries, start up your computer
and see how it responds - less popups? - good then quickly install AVG before
anything comes back. and keep installing everything else while doing all the
scans along the way. You'll see that by the time your finished With Spybot
Search and destroy you'll have a fresh clean computer.

Thank you... but is there a guide somewhere that can help me with deleting
registry entries on the hijack this... I don't know anyone that is really
computer literate, so I'm gonna have to try and do it myself. HOw can I
figure out what's good and what's bad.... I had about 67 entries show up?
