HELP!! Antivirus xp 2008 *computer illiterate please help*

Unread postby keriann » August 20th, 2008, 12:34 pm

It seems that I am one of many that has been infected with the Antivirus xp 2008 problem. I am getting a pop up to download the program, I've just left it alone and it remains on my desktop. My screen is blue and I just have no idea what to do to fix this. Any help in removing this problem would greatly be appreciated :)

*update*

I was able to get my desktop background changed and task manager to work. Im still unable to use system restore to go back before the virus infection. Here is my latest HJT log.

Howdy keriann and welcome to the forums,

My name is flashh4 and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:
1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)
4. Please note you'll need to have Administrator priviledges to perform the fixes. (XP accounts are Administrator by default)
5. Please let me know if you are using a computer with multiple accounts, as this can affect the instructions given.

If you can do those things, everything should go smoothly

Please note that all instructions given are customised for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.

Note: I am still in training at Malware Removal, however I will be working under the direct supervision of one of our Malware Experts. Any recommendations will first be approved before being given to you. Because of this, there may be a short delay in getting our responses to you, however be assured that we will be working diligently on your problem.

I will be back as soon as possible with a fix !!
In the mean time can you give me an Uninstall list please !!

  1. Open HijackThis.
  2. Click on the Open the Misc Tools section button.
  3. Look under System tools.
  4. Click on the Open Uninstall Manager... button.
  5. Click on the Save list... button.
  6. It will prompt you to save. Save this log in a convenient location. By default it's named uninstall_list.txt.
  7. Notepad will open. Please post this log in your next reply.

Please post a new HJT log please !

Thanks
Chuck

Howdy keriann, can you describe what happened when you tried to use system restore ?? Also, would you check to see if System Restore is turned on ?

Go to Start > Control Panel > click System> click System Restore tab ! The box should be unchecked.
If it is unchecked - leave it as it is
If it is checked, then please un-check it.

Then go to start/ programs / accessories/ system tools /system restore and choose to create a new restore point.

Let me know on the system restore !!!!!

NEXT

  • Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on RSIT.exe to run RSIT.
  • Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
  • Once it has finished, two logs will open. Please post the contents of both log.txt (<<will be maximized) and info.txt (<<will be minimized)


You don't need to post a new HJT log, RSIT will produce one.

Please post in your next reply to this topic:
1. 2 logs from RSIT


Thanks
Chuck
