• I get a message that my computer is infected. I want to stop the message from popping up and can't seem to find a way to do it. I'm not savvy computer then

  I need help. Even though I know a lot of bases of the use of the computer, I'm not familiar with a lot of the terminology and procedures. Right now I'm at the office. My boss is absent.  I was using the computer and suddenly it starts to give a message that the computer is infected and some "pop up" continues to appear telling me to pay for some sort of "spyware" protection but I can't pay for it and I just want to stop the pop up from popping up.  It seems that it is just a ploy to get me to buy the "anti-spyware".   I can't even "System Restore" to work.  I just want to stop this "warning" popup to appear.

• I'm operating a windows XP Home Edition with service pack 3. Analysis of essential security of a windows shows that my computer is infected with a virus ' "Trojan horse: back/Alureon.A"»

  In January of this year my computer would freeze, or be very slow in its normal operation. This happened constantly. I tried to verify that my windows update check to be sure that I was getting my automatic updates. I was unable to connect to Windows update, no matter how many times I tried. This never happened before. So, I thought that my inability to connect to verify Microsoft Updates could be related to my computer running at a slow speed and / or gel constantly upward. When the computer froze, the only way to recover was to hit the kill switch and crash the computer. After the reboot, the computer could work normally for a period of minutes and resume again slow down and not to freeze completely upwards. For weeks, a Microsoft Tech person (Kevin) worked with me by e-mail and tried to fix my computer problems. Kevin exerted a lot of patience and accompanied me through a series of steps designed to understand what the problem was and fix it. At the time where we ran a Microsoft Scan (Scan, I believe was the name One) followed by an analysis "HijackThis". Kevin then read the results of analysis and recommended destruction of vast print of HijackThis. This has made some slight improvement to operations. As Kevin has attempted to provide additional assistance, I left for vacation. I came back, I did a scan of Microsoft Essential that determined that my computer is infected with a virus called "Trojan:DOS / Alureon.A.

  How do I rid my computer of this Trojan horse and restore my Microsoft updates and restore normal operation of the system?

  Thanks, Ben

• I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware.

  I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware. They said that they were connected with Windows, so I asked if they were Microsoft and they said that no Microsoft would not call me. Wouldn't be a darn good Microsoft. The guy was Indian or Pakistani and wouldn't give me a company name, no matter how many times I asked.

  They said they received reports from my computer it has been infected. The last call I let them go through their process to prove to myself that my computer has been infected. They told me to go to the event viewer, logs of windows, applications and said there will be errors and warnings there.

  It was proof that he was infected and that they wanted to give me their approval to scan my computer so their 'Microsoft engineers' can solve the problem with Windows tools. At this point, after 20 minutes, I denied their access to the computer and hung up that it had no proof that I was worried. One of our friends had the same call on fixing Windows sound, she had an Apple Mac, I would have liked to see their difficulty its version of Windows.

  I have 3 questions for this and they are: -.

  1 can. anyone if your computer is infected using the event viewer?

  2 can they tell if she is infected when the computer has a firewall and is also behind a router with a firewall?

  3. I would be right in thinking that there is another form of the scam fake phone call?

  1. If possible, get the errors or warnings in the event viewer is quite common, but say you have a virus just based on that, it's simply stupid.

  2. they do what is called call cold. They call every phone # in the phone book and say "your computer is infected" even if you do not, Yes, it's a scam and yes they are stupid.

  3. Yes. The only way they would be able to tell if your computer has a virus would be if they had access to it, and if they have BEEN with microsoft, which is not, it would be a breach of privacy.

  Hello

  Never, ever install a registry cleaner.

  We do not recommend using any registry cleaners, optimizers, the Driver Updaters, Tune - Up utilities, etc.

  They can do more harm to your any good operating system that they claim to be able to do.

  And it is an interesting read from Microsoft:

  "Are registry cleaners necessary?

  Caveats

  • Some programs available for free on the Internet may contain spyware, adware or virus. Only download and install programs from software publishers that you trust. Even if the website, that you download the program trust, you must also trust the Publisher of the program. For more information, see when to trust a software publisher.

  • We strongly recommend that you change only the values of the registry that you understand or have been ordered to change by a source of that confidence. Be sure to back up the registry before making any changes.

• My computer is infected and I can't do anything.

  My computer shows that it is infected and tells me that I should do something. But when I try to use the AVG virus scan, nothing happens. Everything I click on anything, whether it causes a message if poster that says that this file is infected you want to remove the threat to security. In addition, this new "security software" called AntiMalware Doctor and Solution Antivirus Pro is now on my computer. What are viruses?

  It's almost as if I can't do something, because the computer gets all messed up right as it starts. How should I do?

  I'm the OP?

  I looked up TDSS killer once I realized you're talking earlier, and I saw several links talks about how the TDSS killer messed up their UBS Ports. Did do something wrong when they ran the program?

  The internet does not work in normal mode or safe and when I run the Diagnostic it says something about HTTP and two other forms of web, but I was able to get the updates to SAS and AVG before I ran the scans. But yes I know that focus on one thing at a time.

  Nobody talked yet RUNDLL, what is it? This error arose after that I ran SAS. It appears also on my laptop, but the file that talks about each of them is different.

  1. Yes, you are the OP (original poster)

  2. I never heard talk of TDSS Killer waste USB ports. I can't say it didn't happen, but have never heard of him. In addition, Kapersky, TDSS Killer manufacturers, is not likely to clear a scanner with these potential effects without providing a warning of the same thing. I can speculate only there was another common link in the case where the USB key is affected.

  3. I did, in fact, deal with RUNDLL errors. Refer to my post immediately after your inquisition about the same thing. I told you these type errors are very common when dealing with the removal of malicious software. Basically, these errors are the result of the registry requires the execution of a file that is no longer exist due to the file being malware and removed by the malware scanner. My exact post is the following:

  "EDIT: these errors always occur as a result of malware." It is part of the malware THAT deleted SAS. The file is NOT a legitimate file. Keep scanning. »

  4. it is very strange that you were able to boot into normal mode and connect to internet before, but now you can't.

  OP wrote > I'm normal now. I can't access the internet. The only things that I've used so far is rkill, SAS, and am currently in the middle of scan AVG. So far, it took 1 hour and 45 minutes and analyzed more than a quarter of 1 million objects.

  My last thought on this subject is to locate the disk and clean install as recommended by PA Bear.

• Fake, scam calls claiming that my computer is infected

  I had two phone calls this morning (first a hook), the number that came up on caller ID showed "00-1108' and '00-1305".  Guy with an Indian accent said he was phoning from Microsoft in California (I'm in South Africa), and that my computer has been infected.  He knew my full name and called my phone number he had called me on!  He wanted that I turn on my computer and go through a process.  I told her to take a walk and that he was a crook and that computer is perfect - what is.  How these people get hold of this personal info of one?  He got very aggressive when I told her I was does not turn on my computer because I knew that it was very good, and then I threw the phone down on him--Needless to say, he has not called back.

  You have made the right choice, it's a scam.

• Common cold called the India telling me that my computer is corrupt and needs attention at a cost. The call of this morning came from 02533639006.

  Please could someone tell me if the calls of the India telling me this computer is corrupt and needs attention to the cost are to be considered as a suspect.

  This morning, my husband took one of the many calls from a company whose name can never be clearly understood.  Call came this morning from the above mentioned phone no.  It was a particularly tough call, insisting that they knew there was corruption on my system and when my husband asked for the source of this information and how they would take care and at what cost, the appellant insisted to know the age of my husband.  When he asked the appellant to bring the problems that he was speaking in an e-mail that he rang off the coast.

  As has happened so often before, could someone please let me know what steps I should take to ensure that all information on the State of operation of my computer is genuine and comes from a reliable source.  My husband and I are retired and is concerned by the number of calls we receive from this type.  We had an audit by computer not so long ago and everything was there at that time.  Despite the running is a little slow, I don't have serious problems that I know.  I learned to be patient when waiting for the computer to operate as required.

  I look forward to hear from you in due course.

  Thank you very much.

  It's FAKE and SCAM, because of course, you could report it to the Ministry in charge of fraud in your country.
