Question

System Alert: Trojan-Spy.Win32@mx

Hi, I have been looking over this forum and noticed a few people with same problem as I have. I need help please! I keep getting these system alerts from a program that is pretending to be an official windows warning, telling me i have a trojan and should pay for this anti-virus. It says...Your computer is infected with a backdoor trojan that allows the remote attacker to perform various malicious actions. Click this balloon to download malware removal software. And if I click on it, it directs me to a website where I have to purchase the software, its really a pest.

Will a system restore do anygood?

Or do I have to do lots of downloads and post logs which I don't know much about?

Thanks in advance!

A system restore will probably be able to repair it but it doesnt remove it completely. You could try and download spysweeper from here and then try and download smitfraud from here. Once you've run spysweeper, you will need to extract the files and then run the smitrem.exe file in SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING.

Please post a log on the HijackThis Forum where someone can review it and help you.

Click HERE to download a self-extractable version of HijackThis.

Double click on hijackthis.exe to extract hijackthis to folder c:\hijackthis.
It will extract it to that folder and open the folder for you.
It will also create a shortcut on your desktop to HijackThis.
It will scan and the log should open in notepad.Click on "Edit > Select
All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the
log.

Do not have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

thanks,
