Procyon Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 In the right low corner appears a red dot with a white "X", saying (in a yellow globe)that:Windows has detected Spyware infection!It is recommended to use special antispyware tools to prevent data loss. Windows will now download and install the most up-to-date antispyware for you.Click here to protect your computer from Spyware!This yellow globe appears and disappears every 30 seconds, annoying me. Please note that windows is supposed to download a tool to get rid of spyware by clicking on that icon, but nothing happens. I used Adaware, Spybot S&D, Norton Utilities and AV Grisoft, and (supposedly) I got rid of a trojan and a spyware. Even with that "success" the damn globe still appears, saying that my PC is infected with spyware.Please help me to download those Windows tools, or to eliminate that red dot.All the AIs are against me!!!

gunner154 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Sounds like some spyware that got in by itself. It sounds like an advertisement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erjin999 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 it's spyware.. so don't click on it ;)I recently removed it by deleting the users profile and creating a new profile.Hopefully we can resolve it without kiling a profile :).Pry, do you have the other types of protection you should have ? Spybot search and destroy ? Adaware free version (unless you wanna pay) ? You can use Spybot to work out where it is starting from and maybe even to kill it automatically. That is if "Jesus" (::)) doesnt do it first... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 I already did it... adaware and Spybot killed the spyware, but the icon on on the tray still appears.I tried to install "Jebus", but the page of the validation, just doesn't want to open.

Procyon Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Here's a pic of the icon, I used Howies quick screen, but the globe is not in the picture.

gryphon Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 use start - run - msconfig and in the startup tab disable it.I have nu clue what the specific thing was to disable (and due to my current location can't look it up) although it's in there.And what;s so special about a profile erjin999. . . ;)(de computer I did it on was a domain member, so deleting a profile is all in a day's work btw ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Well, that's a solution (that thing is called winhelp.exe), but how do I know that the spyware (one that is not detected by Sybot or adaware)is eliminated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 When the spyware crap stops bothering you.Maybe wait for an update. When did you start having this problem? If it's a relatively new problem, you might not be able to have anti-virus/spyware software fix it for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 And what;s so special about a profile erjin999. . . ;)(de computer I did it on was a domain member, so deleting a profile is all in a day's work btw ;) )I was thinking of having my home profile being deleted.

Megashrap Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Well Erj, I think you found a sure spyware/malware/trojan killing process programs for me today. For the last 3 days i've been fighting this damn thing, constant browser pop-ups at random sys. slowdowns etc. was about to format today even. I tried around 12 different programs for removing them, all found and said they cleaned things, still they returned incuding my regular trend-micro anti-virus. In the end all these were useless at getting them removed, including the ones listed in this thread. Erjin has the exact procedure that is basically a program for scanning for it, then another that runs in dos mode that finishes the job up nicely and complete the very first time. In the end, 1 single file was the culprit for around 30 different trojans,spyware and browser and desktop hijackers. Thanks for the help Erjin, saved me from formatting. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hey scar. Well glad to be of help. Was going to catch you on msn to find out how it was going.That program was for...lol, I forget the trojan that affected you. I can probably find it for you if you like.Actaully, I checked, it was the Look2Me spyware infection. And quite nasty it was.I must say though that Nod32 did spot the infiltration before it got on my machine, when I went to the site that infected you. I still bang on about Nod32 cos I think its the Dogs <Asterisks>.Make regular backups, ladies. Image your hard drives if you can. Keep profiles on domain server like grypoman. :PPractice safe computing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
