Spyware Alert Everywhere HELP

6 min read

This thread's last reply is from March 29, 2008, 8:37 AM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

My background turned red and says "your privacy is in danger", and I keep getting warnings and security alerts about spyware and hijacking attempts. I do not know who to trust to remove the problem. Can you help me please? I am an online student and I'm scared I am going to crash again.

Here is my log:

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

My name is Simon V., and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

Step 1

Please download and install CCleaner.

Open CCleaner. On the Windows tab, leave the default options alone.

  • On the Applications tab, check (tick) all the boxes except Saved Form Information. This will remove all your saved passwords if you leave this box checked.
  • Click on the Run Cleaner button at the bottom right hand corner.
  • When the cleaner has completed, click Tools in the Left Pane.
  • Verify that Uninstall is highlighted in color, or click on it.
  • In the lower right, click Save to Text File.
  • Pull down the arrow at the top of the Save dialog and choose Desktop as the location.
  • You can leave the filename as install.txt.
  • Click Save, then exit Ccleaner.


Step 2

Print these instructions or copy them to Notepad and save it to your desktop, as you won't be able to access internet in Safe Mode.

Please download SDFix and save it to your desktop.

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive% (Drive that contains the Windows directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please reboot into Safe Mode. To do this, go to Start > Turn off Computer, and select Restart. Rapidly tap F8 just before Windows starts to load. In the menu that appears, select Safe Mode (Without Networking)

Log in to your usual account.

Once in Safe Mode, do the following:

Open the extracted SDFix folder and double-click RunThis.bat to start the script.

  • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
  • It will remove any trojan services and registry entries that it finds, then prompt you to press any key to reboot; press any key and it will restart the PC.
  • When the PC restarts SDFix will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished. Press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
  • Once the desktop icons load, the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt (Report.txt will also be copied to clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).


Step 3

In your next reply, please post:

  • the CCleaner Uninstall List (install.txt)
  • the SDFix report (C:\SDFix\Report.txt)
  • a new HijackThis log
Hey Simon V!
Thanks for getting back to me. New issue--now I cannot connect to the internet on that computer. Any ideas of why this could be and how I can fix that problem so I can tackle this problem?
Thank You, thank you, thank you..., :-)

For now, I don't know what's causing that. Can you transfer the tools I asked you to download using a thumb drive/external hard drive?
No, I do not have a thumb drive. I don't know what the problem is. The other computer and the lap top has a connection, but for some reason my computer has lost connection. All the connections to the router and the computer have been checked. Maybe I did something wrong by downloading several free virus protection and spyware removal softwares. I deleted all of the them though except for AVG, and Avira. Could this have caused a problem?
I also have a problem with the task bar on my account. When I hit ctrl, alt, delete, it says that the admin has disabled it, or something like that.

I'm sorry for the delay, I didn't get a reply notification. Please uninstall either AVG or Avira; running two anti-virus programs simultaneously can cause these problems.
My husband ended up swiping the computer so I'm cool now. Thanks.
