So from this morning my PC was clean and didn't have no threats until tonight. When I came back from work I saw multiple error messages that say "System Alert: Spyware Detected", now this error message is shown in the icon tray and is with that yellow warning exclamation mark and if I press on it internet explorer opens and tells me to try this virus-scan but obviously I did not try the scan.

 

Anyway I have had pop-ups coming up on the desktop and my Microsoft Anti-Spware is finding the same spyware every 10-15 minutes (with same name).

 

I think that these actions have been done because my sisters boyfriend downloaded some kind of media codecs and he doesn't even know about them, (I know about them because I use firefox and just went into Downloads).

 

Can I do some kind of scan and send you the details to help me? There could be other problems but those I remember specifically.

 

Thanks in Advanced.

 

P.S. I have Mcafee 2006 Virus-Scan Suite Installed and Microsoft Anti-Spware, I have tried Spyware Doctor & Registry Mechanic scans also.

This is more then likely a trojan.

OK, lets be real here.... he was downloading porn, and it said he could see the free movie if he installed a toolbar or some other type of feature. I can guarentee you 99% that this is the cause of all your problems.

I guess, to start off, you can name the product that allegedly is supposed to rid you of this pest, and next, you might wanna go to your add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstall the program that the porn movie installed. It may have installed MANY different programs.
