IS THIS A VIRUS OR A SPYWARE

[elakirisasika]

Guys, Girls , specially computer experts,:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Yesterday I visited 2 a website where we can watch video clips (dont ask me wat?):( :(

when I tried 2 watch a video clip a message poped up and told that I have 2 install a special Active x control to view it and they gave me the link 2 install it.

I (like a fool) intalled it and from that moment I'm getting a message like this :

the message image :

It appears like from the windows security. But I'm damn sure that it is not:yes: :yes:

Blinking icon image

And always there is a blinking icon (above) in my windows notification area and it cannot be removed like other windows messages (whenever I click it , the icon opens the Iexplorer and it opens the follwing website)

Before I delete some of the files that I have intalled, there were many other notification icons in my notification area and they gave me the same trouble which the current one gives me :yes: :yes:

Though I've deleted many files, this infection is not yet going away

Is this message really coming from windows security option or is this the worm?

Please bro's and sis's give me and others who have this kind of probs a solution otherthan reinstalling windows..:(

Try Ad-Aware SE Personal... This must be a Adware...

http://www.lavasoft.de/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php

Download - ftp://ftp.download.com/pub/win95/utilities/aawsepersonal.exe

[SAN_APIIT]

try installing kaspersky and activate trial period.

Give it a full system scan........ that will remove this...
And if u don't like to do this then u can restore ur pc to a early date by using system restore....

but since u do not have enough security i think installing a proper virus guard will help u...

Good luck............. and be a nice boy........ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You can go to program files folder & search for what the file is.

Then in the processes window right click on that exe file ----> End Process Tree

Then you have to go to program files and delete the folder.

No Alaya , the new generation of spyware builders are far smart than us.:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

You cant just end it s process in the task manager coz there is a timer like thing which activate this adware or spyware again, every time I close it, another .exe program opens automatically so the last .exe file of this adware cannot be deleted like that :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:


If you wanna try this activex control I can tell you the website 2 download it ;)

But i used SPYBOT to remove it.....................

[pga]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpyLocked :love:

There are some links at the bottom of the page to remove that spyware.
100% successful.

[lasanka]

dude i think u should use adaware its gud!

[Ranhiru]

This is probably a type of spyware. Its a adware which keeps naggin u about something!! (Hate 'em all!). So what u should do is (as everyone has mentioned) INSTALL A ANTI-SPYWARE SOFTWARE. Windows Defender is kinda good! But not that much! I personally have installed both Ad-Aware and SpyBot search and destroy! I even read in a magazine that when u both the guards, it yields effective results!!

[lasanka]

i haven used spybot
but im using adaware!

[Ranhiru]

SpyBot is good! Once its fully updated it can find a lot more spyware stuff than Ad-Aware! (I USE BOTH!). So give it a try!

[Anusha]

I'm with Windows Defender because it comes with Vista. Otherwise I would be using Ad-aware. Either way, malicious stuff hardly sneaks into my system ;)

[lasanka]

ah dats gud.. windows defender huh.. its kinda slow i heard is dat tru??

I'm telling not to end process, but to "End Process Tree".

Then all the exe files which are related to this spyware will end.

At that time, U can delete that spyware folder.

I did it about 3 months ago.

But don't know what the situ these days.

Anyway, thanks for the comment macho.

:D :D :D :D
