Spyware.IEmonster detected

Postby Goat Boy » 25 Jul 2010, 22:27

Out of nowhere my laptop is having problems now. When I try to run my superantispyware free edition it says I have been infected with a trojan that is trying to access my credit card details?

I can't seem to run any other virus software that i download either.


help!

It looks like you've picked up a known piece of malware that issues fake virus warnings. The version I had to remove a couple of years ago was a pretty nasty piece of work; I suspect that this one is even worse as these things tend to become more complex over time.

Can you post a HijackThis log? I won't be able to take a look until sometime tomorrow afternoon, though, due to other commitments, but someone else may be able to help.

I think I managed to fix it. At first my antivirus software wouldn't work at all but after turning the laptop off and on again I was able to run a full virus check and delete around 7 trojans and some other nasty shit.

Everything appears to be working again.

Fucking PC's!!
