Some help please

Question

I keep getting pop ups on my desktop with this message ''There is a security vulnerability from the Beagle Virus. We recommend you DOWNLOAD one of the security software programs to prevent malware infections.'' The it takes me to a webiste where it wants me to download WinAntiVirus PRO 2006. And then it will pop up a window of ''Adult Friend Finder''. As I was posting this another message popped up saying this. There has been a security breach by the Blackworm Virus. We recommed you DOWNLOAD one of these security softwares to prevent further malware infections.'' And it takes me to that WinAntiVirus Pro again. Does this mean I am infected with these viruses? I don't go to any sites that I normally don't go to. And I definitly don't go to the adult friend finder page. I have Virus and Spyware protection as well. Can anyone here help me with this?

I am trying to download it. When I try just as it is done my virus scan pops up and says a virus has been detected and deletes it.  It says w32/Generic.worm!p2p

Go here and download Hijackthis

http://dsvs.org/5/HijackThis.exe

Save it in a convenient permanent folder such as C:\\HJT\\, double click HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log, Ctrl-A to Select All, and copy its contents here.At the link below

and let someone look at your log

Please do not be tempted to "fix" on your own. Hijackthis is a very powerful tool, if used incorrectly can cause system problems

It still won't do anything. It is getting to 99% and says copying then says Cannot Copy Access denied. And McAfee is popping up saying a virus has been detected and cleaned and has to delete hijack in order to clean it. McAfee says it is W32/Generic.worm!p2p

But before you do. I think that one of the antivirus programs my be causing a problem since we have 2 running.

So turn off McAfee virusscan before you attempt the download.

If you have any problems or questions please reply

mystic,   i see that you were eventually able to download/run HiJackThis, and post your log in the HJT forum.   the log shows that you had, and have removed, a vundo trojan.  Can I take that to mean you have already run VundoFix?   If so, has your popup problems stopped, after running VundoFix and rebooting?     also, if you've run vundoFix, I'd appreciate if you could post a copy of your VundoFix.txt  log, which should be located in your root directory, C:\       Message Edited by ky331 on 04-05-2006 02:28 PM

I've got the same problem with this Security pop-up and have noticed the the explorer.exe process is consuming most of the CPU resources on the PC.  I can't find anything on the web that addresses this.
